I don't know about you, but I don't like having numerous programs that do the same thing on my computer. Less space taken, more room for photos.

Not upset with you at all. I am shooting in RAW format and elements was suggested but I wasn't overly happy with it. I was thinking about purchasing Capture NX as I have the free trial version but searching around I came across Lighroom and thought I would give it a shot. I really like it and seeing that space is not an issue for me (I have 2 internal HDs of 350Gb and an external of 300Gb) I don't mind having another program that does the same thing. Just makes it easier for me and quicker. I suggested more for those that want a quick and fairly easy program for editing.

I use my external exclusively for photos and I also burn them as a backup. I lost too many photos when my HD died that I had in Canada that I will not make that mistake again.

Thanks for letting people know that do have photoshop about the photoediting possiblities it has to offer. I think for those that don't have it and those that find it a complicated program Lightroom would be a great idea and it is a ton cheaper.
