Exactly! And this is something woefully lacking. Lightroom is a tub
so far and I'm having a hard time justifying a large expense for it
unless performance is in the neighborhood of RawShooter.
But, man-oh-man, what a pleasure it is to shoot an event, load it
into Lightroom, sort/select the keepers, apply crops, apply color
corrections to those that need it and output to DVD-ROM. All within
one application, all as a single project. Within minutes I can be
done with the entire project. 200 pictures from load to final output
is less than an hour.
Even so, I couldn't justify $600 USD for the software in its current
form. Maybe when it allows spot editing and multiple versions of a
given image. Also, the raw-converter needs to come up to speed. ACR
is too mushy for my tastes for high-detail stuff and the color is
whimpy.
