Just remember, Lightroom is meant to be the "Grunt" when editing photos. You can always export to Photoshop for the final tweaks. I also second the Lightroom Killer Tips website. Matt's Presets work really well with Canon and Nikon Cameras.

I love love love Lightroom! I do all of my editing in it except for adding textures. Can't wait to see more of what you do with it.

Unfortunately for me LR still doesn't render Nikon's raw format as well as viewNX (or CaptureNX) even with the "new" profiles.

This is a shame as I really love LR. So my workflow now is open in viewNX and do global edits such as exposure, sharpen and contrast etc. Then convert to high res jpg/tiff and either do futher work in PS or LR.

Ditto what everyone else said :)

LR is definitely a faster workflow compared to the Bridge/PS set up. You still drop into PS for some detail work, especially in your field, but for the bulk of images and the organization LR is hard to beat!

You'll obviously still do a lot of your work in Photoshop.
But organizational stuff will change and lightroom will be the hub to the other programs you use. (photoshop)

In the end it'll be a lot like adobe camera raw in cs4 was (so I hear, since I stopped upgrading a while back)

And when it isn't being submitted for stock, you're right... you can get those done way faster. (Photowalks, other shoots, friends)

But going to lightroom won't take you away from photoshop, at least not for your main type of detailed work.
It just gives it all a new front in and a new workflow.

Interested to hear the results

The more you learn about Lr2, the more you'll be amazed. It's an incredibly deep program under the surface. It will open your eyes to a lot of new, creative ideas.
