When Adobe set out to create Lightroom, I was unsure which way they were heading with the application. It was obvious that they were protecting their turf vis-à-vis Apple’s Aperture, but who knows where the company would take it. Now that it is out, questions are answered. Not all photographers have a need for Photoshop (I consider it more of a digital artist’s tool than a photographers tool, but that’s me) and Lightroom 1.0 fits into a space that Adobe was previously lacking, and that was in image management and output. I looked at the Library and Develop modules of Lightroom 1.0 in part one of this two part first look. It gave a brief overview of the toolsets found in those modules. In part 2, the Slideshow, Print and Web modules will be the topic of exploration.
