Just loaded it last night....first impressions is that it is not intuitive.
Looks like I will have to have a look at the video and manual.

I _hate_ it when that happens.

I've had only a few minutes to look at it. It seems to me I shouldn't
have to spend so much time looking for commonly used controls or
choice buttons.

Like any other worthwhile tool, it may take some serious study to get
a good handle on it.

I have not come across Rawshooter, I have to confess I have found the beta
very slow today, and it has spent much of the time 'checking thumbnails' I
think it will be great when it is finished but there is much to do I think.

Again....this is just first impressions. But, it seems to be using a
vocabulary of it's own. I was hoping it was based on Bridge. Well, if its
realy unique I suppose it might have to set a standard rather than follow
one. But, I have only so many hours in a day and I would prefer to use them
shooting my camera.

I don't know if any one has but there are some great Lightroom demo videos
at:

http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom/index.html

They are free and really show some of the unique features it has.

Additional videos at Apple Music store, video podcasts. See photoshop.tv
and Lightroom Beta.

I've been using it since the beta was released, and after a bit of a
shakey start (and quite a while of it creating thumbnails) I'm really
starting to like it. Also, like Guy said yesterday, for a beta it's so
far been stable.

I have been using Adobe Bridge to organise my photos, so I was quite
eager to see what Lightroom was gonna be able to do. I'm finding
organising things into 'shoots' is a good idea, and the quick groups
selection is good too.

Gonna use it after a shoot on Sunday, see how it compares with actually
importing photos I've just downloaded, and catagorizing them.

Regards,
Alex

Although everytime I start lightroom within 2-3 mins it goes back to
"checking thumbnails" and my entire system starts to struggle

It sounds like this is going to be a memory intensive application. I've
heard that this new Microsoft OS (Vista?) is going to want about 3 gigs of
RAM - maybe this application was written with that in mind.

Vista is not going to need 3gig, infact MS have added a spec profile that
you can run on your machine to tell you what you need to do to get vista to
run at www.windowsvista.com - I think much of the high power stuff is gloss
anyway ?

As for Lightroom I can see the benefits but I think there is a bit to go
yet. I wonder will it do a lightbox type offering like aperture ?
