The bottom line: Critical enhancements in areas like noise reduction, video handling, and printing make Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 a recommended upgrade for most current users.

For the uninitiated, Lightroom is Photoshop's specialized sibling; where Photoshop is an imaging Swiss Army Knife, Lightroom is a steak knife for photographers. Like its most well-known competitor, Apple Aperture, you use it to organize, process, nondestructively retouch, and output volumes of raw files. Now with version 3, Adobe enhances the product in some critical ways that make it a significant upgrade over version 2.x. There's pretty much something for everyone here, including improved performance, killer noise reduction, potentially powerful export tools, and extremely flexible printing options.

Installation and interface
Lightroom is a much faster, lighter installation than Photoshop. You can choose to purchase a license key immediately, which you will receive by e-mail, or try out the program for 30 days. When you receive your key, you can copy and paste the entire string directly from your e-mail into the first dialog box, and the other boxes will automatically populate. There's a 164MB download for Windows or 77MB on a Mac. Like most of the applications coming out of Adobe these days, it uses the Adobe AIR installer.

Unlike the rest of Adobe's imaging applications, which do a terrible job of helping you migrate to a new version, you can actually upgrade Lightroom. The installation won't overwrite the older application, but it provides an automated way to upgrade your catalog, including catalogs created in Photoshop Elements. LR3 doesn't have the face-recognition capabilities in Elements, but it will import all the tags that already exist for recognized faces. Still missing, however, is the ability to import a copy of the old catalog and continue from there. Processed images in your catalog that use algorithms from previous versions--most notably the old noise-reduction--will retain those processing parameters unless you force an upgrade to the newer ones.

In general, the program's interface hasn't changed much. It's still broken into five modules--Library, Develop, Slideshow, Print, Web--with panels that fly in on demand from the sides of the screen. I'm not sure everyone will start with it, but on at least one install I got a relatively blank screen with instructions to click on a button that wasn't visible. LR3 adds a compact, ostensibly less-distracting import view, which uses your previous settings. I'm not sure it's really necessary to have multiple import interfaces, but some people might like it. Adobe has tweaked the main import interface to provide greater clarity as to source, options, and target settings. The application visually separates removable devices from nonremovable ones, which is a nice feature.
