[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 391763, member: 9240"] This couldn't be more wrong. Lightroom is [B][/B][I]Adobe Camera RAW[/I] laid out in a more user friendly interface. Photoshop is the entire backend to Camera RAW and has lots of facilities LR doesn't (though I hear it [I]may[/I] have layers in version 6). You can find box copies of Photoshop CS6, but it's no longer being updated (all improvements since the CC announcement are only available by subscription). Lightroom is supposedly going to be maintained as a standalone product moving forward, but now I'm hearing speculation on that. New versions of LR come out about every 18 months. Considering what you pay for the CC subscription, by the time you break even on LR alone they may be upgrading, so it's [I]almost[/I] like getting Photoshop for free. I hated the idea at first, but after seeing what's been added since it launched I'm more than satisfied with coughing out $10/month. I couldn't do what I do without it, but I can certainly live without one six pack of craft beer a month (that I'd literally piss away) to pay for it. [/QUOTE]
