hey do you know if lightroom does anything different than photoshop?

i have never used lightroom but everytime i see shyt about it it seems like stuff that can just be done in photoshop

lol @ some of those comments "the after picture looks much more interesting" :merchant: ya no shyt you changed every single color in the picture:skip:
might as well have drawn the shyt

Trust me, Lightroom is the way to go imo. But if you want effects go head to photoshop, but for color correcting and realization (wrd?) use lightroom first. Once you've used both a certain number of times, you'll realize when to use which, but both are beneficial.

from what i have read camera raw does everything lightroom does and as they update lightroom as they update PS CR capabilities so ill prob just stick with photoshop

i like the management system that apparently comes with Lightroom though, then again wtf is the difference between that and bridge? :why:

it's all about preferences, so I ain't gonna argue either, but the more you use light room the more you see how useful and easy it is to use to do certain things then other programs.

I'm not an expert in either. I used to just mess around with some of my photos in Photoshop years ago when I was college, but now I really am not sharp with the skills I used to have.

From just playing around with Lightroom, I can see that it's easier to tweak your pictures from how it's laid out. It seems a lot more user friendly than Photoshop from what I've seen so far.

My first time playing around with Lightroom, but I already see the potential as far as improving shots that would otherwise be thrown in the bushes.

Yeah, though i've never used it....I had a feeling it was more user friendly. In photo mags, lightroom is usually the instrument of choice when pics get edited. I think photoshop does that maybe in more steps at times but its also more useful for as far as maybe animating pics. Me, i'm kinda hard headed so most of the times i'd rather take the hard way to learn tricks. But I also started out with photoshop so I just pretty much just work with that.

A few days ago, I put together a little vignette of my time in Rwanda. More of a cinematography thing than photog, but I definitely feel like it reflects my experience. You get a chance to see my ugly face too :yeshrug:

Rwanda

Its all handheld or using my tripod as a faux-stabilizer.

You're not even gonna believe the camera man: Pentax kx. It takes any pentax lens ever made, I was using legacy glass from like the 60s. 50mm. I actually got rid of the camera in like the spring. Still kinda miss it.
