Ok FIRST of all - I've just spent the last hour and a half on Adobe's Lightroom forum. That place can be worse than DPR in terms of gearheadedness. To help you, and to help ME with workflow, I just snipped this from a post regarding what's coming:

We have a Redeye Tool

Expanded Quick Develop, using Tabs for more tools.

Healing Brush and some kind of Spot Removal that can be synched across images.

Zoom to 8:1 and possibly 10:1

And reworked Page Setup, Print Settings and Print in the Print Module

Zoom out as well, up to 1:4

A revised click-and-drag crop-tool

More varied and interesting web templates for both HTML and Flash galleries.

Colour Labels

Sorting the Library Grid by:
- File Name
- Capture Time
- Rating
- Import Order
- Edit Time
- Edit Count
- Color Labels
- File Extension
- Aspect Ratio
- User Order

"Flagging"... rejects or "outs" when selection editing

Redone Metadata Browser, too (browse by lens, camera, creator, date, file type or location...[with] very specific behaviors (some and operations and some or operations, depending upon what entries you select) designed to be more discoverable than sql queries could ever be.).

Looks better!

Yay!!! *dances wildly* I love Light Room even more now!!!

Leann

thank god for the tabs, I hate scrolling up and down all the time

Those are some welcome additions, specially the healing and patch tool as it may make having to go to PS a less frequent need. The reject option is a good one as well. If they make the Library section closer to what Aperture has to offer I would go with LR in a heart beat becasue I think the develop module is tight!
