It takes about a day to get used to the fundamental changes in Lightroom, notably the PSD outputs to Photoshop and the search tools. After that, a few days playing with the new localised tools and you should be up to speed. So, in terms of features, it's not a major upgrade by any means but the new tools are fantastic and worth the upgrade price.
Lightroom was never meant to be a replacement for Photoshop, but it does enhance it and for photographers who don't do major image edits, it covers most, if not all of their needs. Version 1.0 was brilliant, and was seriously enhanced by v1.4, but v2.0 is the best yet so it well deserves our highest accolade.Read full review
