The "library" module allows you to manage and organize your photographs and the develop module allows yo..." Read Full Review »

Needs Work, Very Slow compared to Ver 1

"This is a winner. I bought Lightroom 2 seeking a better database than Elements 6, and one designed more for photographers than graphic illustrators. I photograph the natural world, and minimum manipulation is the norm so even Elements can be overkill. It is also important for me to have a system to …"  Read Full Review »

"Lightroom 2 is a giant step forward from Lightroom 1, and is more than worth the price of admission.
