Small thing, but it's now called "Photoshop Lightroom" (or maybe Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?).

Lightroom is simply one of the most wonderful apps I own. Fast and flexible, it makes managing my photo's a breeze, very powerful cataloguing, tagging and metadata handling. The Develop module simply rocks, awesomely powerful Adobe Camera Raw with twiddles on top allows great creative control. I've demoed Aperture, Bibble and Capture One but Lightroom has them beat overall.

One word - Productivity - I have tried them all and there is not another application that handles nearly every aspect of the photographers workflow. A must have app in any serious photographers toolbelt.

i like lightroom a lot. i have many presets that i installed with ease. i just wish there was a border (frame) plug-in for photos so i wouldn't always have to run to photoshop for that.

I find the Lightroom UI to be messy and showy rather than out of your way and functional...I much prefer Aperture, though Aperture needs to adopt core image filter support, then I'll hardly even need Photoshop except for fancy art-filters...
