It takes about a day to get used to the fundamental changes in Lightroom, notably the PSD outputs to Photoshop and the search tools. After that, a few days playing with the new localised tools and you should be up to speed. So, in terms of features, it's not a major upgrade by any means but the new tools are fantastic and worth the upgrade price.
Lightroom was never meant to be a replacement for Photoshop, but it does enhance it and for photographers who don't do major image edits, it covers most, if not all of their needs. Version 1.0 was brilliant, and was seriously enhanced by v1.4, but v2.0 is the best yet so it well deserves our highest accolade.
Test du Adobe Lightroom 2.0 - Mac review indexé le 11 Juillet 2011
Traduction automatique (afficher l'original) -
Adobe Lightroom 2 est une de ces mises à jour qui n'a pas vraiment apporter quelque chose étonnante à la fête, mais ce qu'elle fait porter sur l'ensemble fait un meilleur produit. Les nouvelles options de recherche ne rendre la vie plus facile de trouver vos photos (tant que vous les avez probablement catalogués pour commencer), et c'est une grande amélioration sur la version 1.0. De même les nouvelles fonctionnalités de retouche photo font une différence, ils ne sont pas quelque chose, vous serez en criant au sujet mais suffisamment pour rendre votre journée-à-jour
Adobe Lightroom 2 is one of those upgrades that doesn't really bring anything amazing to the party, but what it does bring on the whole makes it a better product.
The new search options do make life easier to find your photos (as long as you've catalogued them probably to begin with), and it is a vast improvement on version 1.0.
Likewise the new photo editing features make a difference, they are not anything you will be shouting about but enough to make your day-to-day life easier.
So should you invest? If you are looking to catalogue your photo collection and aren't ready to go for Adobe's Bridge application, a part of CS3, then it’s probably worth the cash. As for upgraders, there are enough morsels to get your money’s worth.
