Comments on: Lightroom reinvigorates how I use Photoshop http://www.danielsroka.com/blog/thoughts/lightroom-reinvigorates-how-i-use-photoshop.htm Thoughts and art of Daniel Sroka, whose abstract photography reveals the physical and spiritual grace of the simplest elements of nature.

When Bridge was added I moved a lot of the heavy lifting for getting a photograph into shape into that workflow. Now like you I find Lightroom has taken over the heavy lifting for getting a photograph into shape. Now that lightroom 2.0 is out, I'm finding more creative and specialty needs for photoshop. Lightroom did put one over the top of photoshop with virtual copies. I just wish I could dictate the folder setup so it matched my preferred method of naming and storing files.

I am finding myself wanting to explore more creative layering and blending once all of the basics are taken care of in Lightroom. The two are inseparable to me now, and of course... my contributions to Adobe's revenue stream have nearly doubled. :-) Couldn’t agree with you more here Dan.

I'd love to know how it compares to Aperture, if you've used that. It seems like it might be pretty similar. As a glassworker, I'm mostly using photos for product shots. We shoot RAW, modify/enhance in Aperture, then clean up images and size for Etsy in Photoshop. Sounds like a really great experience!

I find that my new digitally controlled kiln has changed my life, and I do rely on my camera and photoshop too as an integral part of being an artist, along with some very basic actual clay tools used to manipulate the clay. What's funny, is that I'm particular about which ones I use. I may have 20 wooden knives in my studio, but oh woe is me if I can't find my fave. How cool is that to be on a testing team?? That's so awesome to be able to provide feedback to make a product better - but also kind of a big responsibility too. Not only do photographers love their tools, but clay people do too!
