[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 400818, member: 9240"] I don't disagree with your assessment of Lightroom, I disagree with your assessment of Photoshop [I][B]not[/B][/I] being "photo processing" software. You have it backwards, which is sort of amazing for someone whose been working with PS as long as you, but ACR is [U]not[/U] a "LR plugin for PS", Lightroom is ACR configured as a standalone piece of software divested of Photoshop (of which it's been a part for ages). Camera RAW existed long before Lightroom, and yes, you [I]need[/I] ACR to process RAW files in Photoshop, [I]which is why it's come with the product since the day it was first made available[/I]. I've long said that Lightroom is designed for photographers and likely the best piece of software out there for the serious photographer, so on that we're agreed. But your categorization of Photoshop is both inaccurate and very misleading. Photoshop has [I]many[/I] uses beyond photo processing (and "editing"), but thousands of photographers have been [I]processing[/I] their images with it for years and will continue to do so despite Lightroom.
