Ok, it's probably not as exciting as you might think, but I processed an entire wedding without opening photoshop CS2 once.

LIGHTROOM RULES!!

Normally, this would have taken a LOT of time in CS2 due to lots of cloning/healing that had to be done. But nope, not this time.

CLONING/HEALING non-destructively on RAW files RULES!!

Sorry, may not be exciting to you, but I just found it to be quite a remarkable feat. sweet!

ok, I'll shut up now.

Did you notice a time savings? I think I have procrastinating shooting raw for the pp time, but lightroom is tempting me to buy it and shoot raw.

Well, I've uploaded some earlier, but they were the jpg files 'cause I was shooting RAW+sJpeg. Don't have any online at the moment...

Actually, this one went a good deal slower because it was my first wedding using Lightroom. I was trying to create some useful presets that would make subsequent weddings faster. So as of yet, I don't know, but I really am liking it better in comparison to what I've tried in the past. (ACR and Bibble)

The clone/heal tool is new and unheard of in raw processors. The red-eye removal is also neat but sometimes seems to miss the mark. I'm sure they'll improve it in the upcoming patches.

I've found the same thing with Aperture. It's literally cut my processing down by about 3/4s (what took me an hour now takes me 15mins).

Lightroom is faster for me too. I need to take Cory's advice on another and add more presets. Plus, on an Intel Mac, the processing is quick compared to CS2, and CS3 is still kinda buggy for me. It's a great application, esp. for the price.

Cheers

Actually, my presets are still kinda crappy. I have a lot of tweaking to do before it works well. Then I'll share.

No aperture for me. I'm on PC. But lightroom has been doing the job really well.
