Very informative podcast! I just started using Lightroom about a month ago using a trial version and I love it! I just bought the full version yesterday and it has changed my workflow dramatically! I love the ease of using it and the results produced. Thanks for bring such valuable information to your listeners in these podcasts. Keep up the great work guys!
I have to say that im a little confused about the difference between Aperture and Lightroom that this episode seems to stress. I have been using both programs quite extensively and the differences in performance and what you can accomplish are quite small IMO. As someone who uses photoshop as a professional, I find Lightrooms nondestructive local adjustment brushing really featureless compared to photoshop and know that I can go out to photoshop and back just as fast with better results. I feel like Adobe won't ever make those local nondestructive adjustment good enough for photogs to justify owning Lightroom exclusively and I definitively don't want to rely on what is currently there. Can you talk specifically about what differences you find between the two programs? It might help as maybe I am missing something that would make me want to move to Lightroom as my main editor.
Hi, you mention in your postcast a service that provides music, paying the licences fee, so you know when using the music in your website that you are not illegally using the work of other people, could you post or send me the link to their web site. Thanks.
