Thanks Emily. Your report is useful. I'll download the program in
the next week or so.

I've been playing with it for a couple weeks but I've gotten
sidetracked into keywording and captioning.
It seems like Lightroom has not yet made up its mind quite where
it's going to fit in the workflow. It has a pretty good RAW
converter, but still requires export to PS before saving, something
which the forum participants are noisily trying to get Adobe to
scrap. It has some nice sorting mechanisms, and a pretty smooth
slideshow and thumbnail page output module, I haven't had any
serious color calibration problems getting the thumbnail pages output.
I and others are hoping that there will be a serious IPTC beta
before Adobe launches. They speak of that module being unfinished
and many of the requests for features reveal that people really
need a sophisticated keywording module, which I also need.
I haven't been to the site since this week began, but last weekend,
the last time I looked, I think I remember that the Windoze version
was imminent.
