Not so Mark.

Even the first version of Lightroom had most of the photo-relevant manipulation capabilities of the then current version of Photoshop.

It did have these functions organised differently, and added a cataloging system suitable for photographers, but it was by no means just a browser.

Who told you that it was a browser with add-ons as an afterthought? Somebody has been really pulling the wool!

cheers,
Frank
