[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 645286, member: 13090"] Well that's a tough question for me since I don't use LR; my workflow consists of Bridge -> Camera Raw -> Photoshop. Primarily because I prefer having my DAM, separate from my raw converter. LR's greatest strength, as well as its greatest weakness, in my opinion, is the "Libraries" approach it employs to manage image files. If that's how you want to fly, that's great; it's just not how I prefer to do things. More to your question I think a hard-core LR user might find not having any DAM functionality confusing/frustrating. If we take Libraries out of the equation then I think PhotoLab could serve admirably as a LR replacement. But that's one [I]mighty big[/I] "If". PhotoLab will NOT replace Photoshop for me but it could, possibly, replace Camera Raw. PhotoLab will work with .NEF files natively, but I'll have to export to .TIFF in order to continue working in Photoshop. Kind of bummer... I guess. I'm going to download a trial version of PhotoLab if I can and give it a whirl... I'm curious how, and how WELL, the U-Point technology is being implemented. There's also a big ol' discussion on DP Review on this very topic but I'm not sure how management would feel about me linking to another forum. Searching on "DXO Photolab!" in their Retouching sub-forum will pull it up for you however. It's DP Review, so hopefully you know what you're getting into [I]"over there"[/I]. *gulp* [/QUOTE]
