or organizing thousands.
Create incredible images that move your audience. Experiment fearlessly with
state-of-the-art nondestructive editing tools. Easily manage all your images.
And showcase your work in elegant print layouts, slide shows, and web galleries,
as well as on popular photo-sharing sites. All from within one fast, intuitive

Features:
Superior noise reduction:
Achieve amazing, natural-looking results from your high ISO images with
all-new state-of-the-art noise reduction technology. You won't need more than
what's built into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 to get the cleanest images at
any ISO.
Accelerated performance:
Get your digital photography tasks done fast and have
more time to shoot and promote your work. Already quick performance has been
dramatically accelerated
in Lightroom 3, saving you time from first look to final image.
Lens correction:
Quickly and easily perfect your images by automatically reducing
lens defects like geometric distortion, chromatic aberration, and vignetting
with single-click
profiles. Even images from the best lenses will be improved.
Support for DSLR video files:
Take advantage of new support for video files
from most digital SLR cameras, which allows you to easily manage and organize
both still photographs and video
files side by side.
Flickr integration:
Use Lightroom almost seamlessly with Flickr, a Yahoo! service.
Upload your images directly to Flickr from within the Lightroom 3 Library.
When friends
or clients post comments and ratings on your Flickr galleries, you can immediately
see their feedback in the Lightroom 3 Library alongside your images.
Image watermarking:
Easily embed your identity or your brand and logo in your
images with more options for customizing their look. The new watermarking tool
lets you apply
text or graphic watermarks to a photo with adjustable size, position, and opacity.
Easy-to-share slide show videos with music:
Show your images to clients, friends,
or family with more style and flair using elegant slide shows with music. Slide
shows are a breeze to create, and
you can share them easily by exporting them as videos, even in high definition.
Easy image importing:
Save time with fast image importing. The newly designed
import interface is easy to set up and navigate, with clear visual indications
of where your
photos will be located and how they'll be organized after you've imported them.
Tethered shooting:
Instantly import and view images as you shoot them with
tethered capture, available for select cameras. Use it to make an immediate,
highly detailed
check of your shot, the lighting, or the shooting setup. Or get instant feedback
from clients or subjects.
Perspective correction:
Get more natural-looking results by applying powerful,
nondestructive perspective correction to your images. Reduce or eliminate the
distortion that can occur,
for example, when you take a photograph with the camera pointed upward, causing
buildings to appear to be leaning backward in your image.
Film grain simulation:
Use new sliders to easily control the amount, size, and roughness of grain
that you can add to your images to simulate the look of film.
More flexible print packages:
Showcase your work in more creative formats using
highly customizable print layouts, which you can save as reusable templates.
With the new custom print
layout creation tool, you just drag one image or several shots onto a page
and resize or reposition them as you like.

I'm honestly at a loss for words to describe how impressed I am with Lightroom 3. I've been a dedicated Photoshop user for years and I never liked using the previous versions of Lightroom because they weren't convenient enough and just added an extra set of steps to my existing workflow. Lightroom 3 allows me to quickly process dozens of images and finally provides the editing tools I need so that I don't have to always open images in Photoshop. Granted, Photoshop CS5 is a far more capable image editing application than Lightroom 3, but Lightroom 3 can do "most" of what I do in Photoshop while simultaneously speeding up my workflow. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lightroom 3 to every PC user who shoots a lot of digital photos. Mac users "might" be happier with Apple's Aperture, but for the price it's hard to resist using a photo management application this good. ...Pros: Much faster/easier image importing; Image editing as good as Photoshop CS5; Simple for beginners yet powerful for pros. ..Cons: Expensive compared to Photoshop Elements; Doesn't print money or create world peace.
