[Leica] It's all your fault

[Nathan Wajsman]

Lightroom has everything I need to edit and manage my photos. You do not seem to accept that not everyone is into heavy duty manipulation. I did use Photoshop before LR came along and liberated me from the hazzle of having to use several pieces of software to do what one brilliant program does now.

The idea of somehow needing to unlearn or forgot photoshop so one can switch to Lightroom I'm not wrapping my head around. I suspect that the many people who say they did this were not being practically upfront with the fact that they not gotten into Photoshop that far in the first place.
