Thanks for clarifying. I should probably have read your post more carefully. I can only agree that it is very limited without Photoshop. I didn't even consider the cost of Lightroom in terms of money. I don't find it very expensive compared to so many other things. The real cost is all the time invested in learning Photoshop. I don't master the program yet and I still have a lot to learn. I do, however, think all the time I invest in the program is well spent! It is fun and as you and Fred Nirque have pointed out, the possibilities seem to be almost endless.

Thank you Ann for all your insightful replies. I have learned a lot about colour management. One thing I don't understand, though, is why you dismiss Lightroom as something aimed at the Hobbyist segment. In my opinion it works very well together with Photoshop. When you prefer Bridge and ACR you should of course use that. However, it seems like a lot of people prefer the workflow in Lightroom. Is the quality of what can be achieved using Lightroom and PS any different than what can be achieved using Bridge, ACR and PS? Isn't it just a matter of very personal preferences regarding the layout on the screen?

He does indeed seem to have fun! Maybe his helmet could need a little adjusting, though. I mean, it would probably be safer for the kid if he should ever run into a photographer placed straight ahead with a wide angle lens...

Maybe he's dressing or undressing? Clearly his shirt isn't buttoned either... Anyway, a very nice picture!
