Adobe released their latest version of Lightroom yesterday and though I don't have any previous versions of it I downloaded the trial version to get a better feel for it. Currently I use a different setup for processing files (view NX2 and Capture NX2) and for the most part it works for me but like any program after awhile you like to see them bring out a new version of the program with new and improved features. With the programs I am currently using they have released the typical updates over time however have not released a new version in around 3 years now.
Both Capture NX2 and Lightroom 4 have features I wish the other had. I think overall Lightroom 4 is a nice program and I like the way it works slightly more than Capture NX2. Just not sure if it is enough to justify the cost when I do have a system I use in place already. The nice thing Adobe did though is the Cost of LR4 is about half the cost of what LR3 was when it was released originally.
The above image is one from last fall that I pulled into LR4 to play around with and get a feel for the program. Still figuring out the best way to do stuff in this program so we will see how I feel after the 30 day trial is up.

I think its a good move! it's time to match the Pro with the Pro software.
Maybe, but I do think my other setup is just as pro as Lightroom would be. I do like the work flow with LR4 though.
I need to also check out what basic video stuff it can do and how well it handles video.
