I tried the beta version of Lightroom 2 lately and was not really
convinced it was worth paying for the upgrade.
Now that Lightroom 2 is available I'd like to know if anybody on this
list has already decided this (one way or the other) already and why?
Has anybody already used the final version?
Thanks!

I have LR 2 installed and have had no trouble. I am not an expert,
indeed not even adept, at Photoshop or Lightroom but my first
impressions are that it is an improvement. I am not sure it is worth
the money though. There are some features that will probably be very
useful but there is a learning curve as there seems to be with
everything now and the documentation is lacking. It seems they want to
sell books telling you how to use the software you have purchased also.
Searching the web turns up some guides. The biggest things in my
limited view are aimed at higher volume users than I am. You can export
to CS3 Photomerge, pano and HDR, but you can just open CS3 and do the
same thing. I am still puzzling it out. There is a Clarity tool that
seems useful for quick fixes and red eye etc. I need more time with it
before I can say it was worth the $99 upgrade cost.
