It was all over twitter and facebook and blogs.  Lightroom 3 was only $70!

But I missed it due to a 15-hour long day.  No time for research and purchase and husband-consulting.

I love the extras in the program–not just a photo editing program, but a photo organizer and exporter.  It plays nicely with picasaweb, which is where I store all my pictures for this blog.

I look forward to using it with the upcoming senior pictures and wedding I’ll shoot.  I know Jess and Jon will benefit from practice greatly!  Be on the lookout for practice!

Anyone else want to be my guinea pig for some photos?

Your precious EnFP,
