If you’re serious about digital photography, it’s a given that you shoot with a D-SLR or maybe one of the new compact interchangeable-lens cameras. And you shoot a lot of photos. But you haven’t only outgrown your point-and-shoot camera, you’ve also outgrown your consumer photo application. These apps offer rudimentary photo-management and are becoming more and more capable photo editors all the time, but when it comes to importing, rating, tagging, optimizing, and outputting myriad high-resolution image files, they can’t compete with the professional photo workflow programs in this roundup: Apple’s Aperture 3 ($199), Adobe’s Lightroom 3 ($299), and ACDSee Pro 3 ($169.99). These photo-workflow apps take you through the whole import-organize-optimize-output process.
ACDSee Pro Photo Manager 3 and Photoshop Lightroom 3 are available at an education discount price from Creation Engine.

This new version of Lightroom comes with a slew of new features, including much better noise reduction to sharpen images up considerably. It also comes with lens and perspective correction to fix distortions that might otherwise make your photography look extremely odd. Watermarking is also thrown in, which is essential if you’re concerned about your work being stolen. Another neat addition is the ability to add grain to a photo to give it a vintage look for that series of photos you’re doing about the interaction between the past and the present.
An interesting new addition is tethered capturing, which will automatically import photos as you take them, providing you’re hooked up to your computer via USB. The potential here allows for you to instantly adjust the photo on your laptop or retake it if Lightroom cannot achieve what you want. We found this makes it a little awkward to take the shots you’re looking for, however, and preferred to manually import them afterwards. Lugging your laptop around with you to tether capture is not exactly every photographer’s cup of tea.
The update with the most impact in this package is definitely the speed boost, however. Older versions of the software could lag pretty badly at times when trying to deal with a large volume of photos. Apart from small lag when switching between the main screen tabs Photoshop Lightroom 3 is a very speedy application, a fact that many photographers will greatly appreciate.
