I am thinking of getting rid of Lightroom

2012-01-11 by Geraldine Powell

I really agree with Paul.  I have been using Lightroom for four years 
and I am still  befuddled by it.  I much prefer the camera raw interface 
in Photoshop to the Lightroom one.  I know they do the same things, but 
I can see what I am doing much better in camera raw.
I still have situations where I cannot for the life of me change from a 
grid view to a whole page view.  Normally, there is no problem, but now 
and then I just have to put up with what Lightroom has decided to do.
I also hate the Lightroom cataloging system. I try to make one that 
works for me but it is not great.  I am actually thinking of dumping 
Lightroom.  I see the main problem as an unfriendly user interface and 
real lack of integration with Photoshop.
If they expanded Adobe Bridge capability it could be great.
Lightroom may be great for the technically very savvy superuser but it 
is not good for someone like me.  I am not going to spend any more money 
on it.
