| | | Re: Raw Convertor, which do you use?
As a registered user of Pixmantec's RawShooter Premium, I got Lightroom for free (Adobe bought out Pixmantec).
At first I was rather irritated at having to learn a new package after the time it had taken me to get to grips with RawShooter, but now I really like Lightroom. Last night and this morning I've been playing with the Web module. It's a lot easier than writing your own html!

I`ve just been printing some A4s via lightroom for the first time tonight, and while it takes a while to get everything set up right, the results are superb.The preset function means it just takes one click to return to the settings you need, and youre printing from a rendered Raw file,not a converted copy, so quality is as good as you can get

I use Photoshop CS2 for raw conversions and cannot fault it updates readily available if you update camera system |

Have been using Lightroom since Beta 1 and now the only raw converter I use as it meets all my needs. As a point of interest in a recent poll on raw convertors it transpired that 28% used Photoshop and 22% Lightroom, Capture One came in next at 7%.

Lightrooms the only one for me.
I only use it as a converter if I'm going to post might photos on the WWW, you can print from Lightroom so why convert?
Hard drive are cheap nowadays (I saw an external 160gig for £55 in Aldi today) and I dont get that many keepers anyway  . |

As a Nikon user I stick to Nikon Capture as it gives the best results. Others I have tried do not give correct colours. |

I think i am totaly won over by lightroom now after being a loyal Capture One user. The functionality of this software really is exceptional, and the image quality is also of a very high order. |

I have Lightroom and have dabbled a little. It is supposed to be intuitive but I still have trouble finding my way around. Can anyone please recommend a good book on the subject, please?
Thanks
