LR 3 looks good, thanks for the review.
I will have upgrade soon.
Lightroom is a great product, how did we ever cope without it.
Cheers

LR3 is awesome! I was trying for for last few days....the noise reduction option is really taking me away...
It's a must-have for the photographers around!

As a Nikon user, I'll stick with Capture NX2.
Despite it's quirks, it still gives the best image quality, IMO.

With all due respect, Mark, it is not the software that gives you the best results. It is the way you use it. Nobody can convince me that the results from Capture NX are intrinsically better (or worse, for that matter) than the results from Aperture or Lightroom or ACR, etc.
Software itself doesn't do any work (except in full auto, which is a dumb way to use any software). It is the person who uses that software who puts their skills and good taste to work and they make all the difference in the quality of the result.
What does differ from one application to another is the intuitiveness, smooth workflow and the range of tasks it can perform. In those respects both Aperture and Lightroom beat Nikon's app.
