[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 392018, member: 9240"] Consider it bacon and eggs, it matters not to me what you think of it. My concern is in the way you've misrepresented it as read by someone who has never used it. Sure, there are analogs to the user interface, but there are similarities between the way Mac OS-X and Windows 7 appear as well, and they're surely not the same thing, nor is one a "Lite" version of the other. So, when you tell someone who may have been told that Photoshop is "so hard to learn" that it's just "PS fleshed out for photography" some will walk away from it based purely on your presenting misinformation as simple fact. That's why being wrong [I]matters[/I]. Photoshop can be daunting, particularly with its layers, filters, tools and blend modes. Lightroom has [I]none[/I] of those complexities. What it does have is a develop module containing the basic tools of Adobe Camera RAW, [B]plus[/B] cataloging and workflow management functions, as well as multiple publishing and printing modules not available in Photoshop. It's [I]almost nothing like Photoshop[/I]. It can remind you of it, and hell, it can remind you of Christmas, but it doesn't mean it's in any way the one product rearranged as another. You want "Photoshop Lite"? It's called [I]Elements.[/I] [/QUOTE]
