It has perhaps a little too much. I have downloaded the free Lightroom and; it is going thru some teething now(beta) .but: a provides better Raw conversion than that available on CS2,provides a rudimentary way of organizing pictures,seems to have improved the printing interface. Most are guessing that this program will be about $200. Before you bite the $600 bullet I would suggest a Lightroom trial. The authors are quite honest about the fact that speed has not been maximized in the beta and this will be the last step. If you are not planning on doing a lot of localized corrections you my want to give it a run. I find it very good for about 90% of my images and i shoot daily for a newspaper. Just a thought. -- Roy Feldman, photojournalism & editorial photography
