Hi, Newbie here. I have been using Lightroom for about 6 or 8 months, then got the Beta version just after purchase. I really like the new version, which just became available yesterday. It has some nice featues, but I won't be going to the "cloud" at $49 a month.

Lightroom 5 is available as a standalone product. Check the adobe.com website. It was officially released on June 9th. For photographers, it has great new features that you can use 90% of the time to create great images without having to buy Photoshop.

Using Lightroom 4. Great program ......... easy to use. Very powerful, but I still use Photshop CS6 for some stuff that Lightroom cannot do.

I use it all of the time and love it for quick asset categorizing ans image adjustment. I also go to PS for real dirty manipulaiton.

Download demo, invest some time learning, lots of great web resources. Watch the Adobe TV tutorials, I particularly like the Julieanne Kost videos. Lightroom 5 will be released later this month. Buy a copy from B&H for the same price that way you will get a copy on disk. Get a good book (Scott Kelby), keep learning.

I have been using Lightroom since version 2. It is a great workflow tool and does allow some creativity in post processing. Once you're used to the workflow, you will really appreciate how it simplifies things.

I've been a diehard Photoshop fanboy for almost 20 years now.  I picked up Lightroom when they released version 4 for a very reasonable price.  I absolutely hated it at first (purely because I didn't know how to use it and it was frustrating), but once I got used to it I never looked back.  I honestly can't imagine being a digital photographer and not using Lightroom or the equivilent.  Adobe Bridge has nothing on the catalog capabilities of Lightroom.  Money well spent.
