Been seeing this name appearing a lot more recently (that or I've just been noticing it a lot more) so decided to have a play with the demo version for a bit. I'm just curious though (partly since I used lightroom trail and expired it already months ago) how it compares to lightroom in terms of editing power and features.

Far as I can tell it lacks some of the organisation and library setup that lightroom incorporates and also has a whole heap of alternative controls on offer - whilst also missing some or hiding them from me (can't find the blacks control).

Since I currently only have the elements 6 for RAW processing it appears to offer me a lot more - but I'm also wondering if its just the same package with a few tweaks in a different wrapper. In short I guess I'm asking which of the two is the more suitable and versatile editing package for RAW photos.


Tools of the trade: Canon 400D, Canon 7D, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L M2, Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 OS, Canon MPE 65mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro, Tamron 24-70mm f2.4, Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6, Raynox DCR 250, loads of teleconverters and a flashy thingy too

The black and white point controls are in the Lighting module (3) - you may have to go to the Workspace drop down (1) and select "Advanced User" to reveal a layout with the Lighting Module exposed. Otherwise, you can add the Lighting module panel to your workspace with the "Palettes > Light" - that is, select the "Light" palette from the Palettes drop down (2).
