Okay so in a couple other threads I was talking about how much I LOOOOOVE Lightroom 2.0. The main reason why I love it is the paintbrush tool. You can use it for ...

Dodging & Burning
Skin Smoothing & Softening
Eye Sharpening
Spot Color Correction
& Lots lots more

I love love love it. Really. It's a HUGE improvement! I promised some Before & Afters, so here they are (I left them big so you could see some detail.)







Just remember - 2.0 is still in Beta, so ALWAYS have backups of your photos just in case something kooky happens. Also remember that LR2.0 Beta catalogs probably won't be able to be opened in the final release, so it's a good idea to keep your catalogs small (I create a new catalog for each session) and export all your worked-on JPGs before the Beta expires!

Have fun
XOXO, Sarah Q

wow. i am impressed. i thnk i amy get lightroom now!

WOW - I am trying to make myself wait until it is out of beta - but it is so tempting since I have LR already. Amazing examples - thank you so much for sharing.

me too, now I'm just too darn excited!!!!!!!
Thanks Sarah!!

Wow. So in your opinion does this replace ProRetouch? Often times, I only use PS for that specific action.

Yep - definitely. I haven't used Pro Retouch since I downloaded 2.0
