In the preferences(under file management) it does say "develop settings are not yet compatible with adobe camera raw" so looks like they're working on it, yet being the operable word.
Still doesn't support folders, which makes it a toy. Regrettably, as a RawShooter Pro owner, I will own a license to this toy when it comes out. That'll teach me to buy software.
I think the idea of new DAM software is to tag keywords, so you could just tag an entire shoot something unique to make a "folder" for it, as well as leaving it searchable by other terms as well.Calling this a toy is not understanding its use.
What kind of folder support are you looking for? If you're talking about breaking up shoots and collections it support this already. You jsut have to RTFM .. oh ya wait , there is no manual ;) LOLI agree with the above poster ... calling this a toy means you haven't been able to figure out how to run it yet. It's much more powerful than any other RAW integrated stuff I've played with to date. And yes, there WILL be full Camera RAW support. They have stated that many many times now.As for a comparison to Aperture .... apples and oranges here. Lightroom does stuff that Aperture (even 1.5) doesn't even get close to doing, especially for organizing your materials.
@gerkin, BlastolacolaYes, I have used it. Not supporting folders is a deal-killer, because of the gigs upon gigs of RAWs I have stored this way and access this way. It would be a different story if the results were better (or even faster) than PhotoShop, RawShooter, CaptureOne, Bibble, or any of the many other superior products out there on the market. This is Picasa with a different skin.
Meh, sorry, it was late, I saw it pop into my inbox. I've been beaten on submission for most of the other big stories I've tried to submit.I just made sure I was downloading it first before submission :-D
really? which apps support Raw Images? Allow colour changes and rotations.I've just managed to sort, and post process 500 raw images that I took at a wedding. Using this tool was ideal. I used the ratings system to choose the best of the images. I then went through my selection of 200 images and adjusted the colour balance as appropriate. A few of the pictures were also cropped and rotated. All within a few hours.For this specific job this is a good productivity tool. Allthough I suspect that you are right about the price...

Nothing beats Raw Shooter Premium 2006 version. Adobe bought them out and hacked the program up and now it sucks.
