hi

, i remember a while ago i tried the trial version of Adobe lightroom, and failed to see the advantage of it compared to photoshop itself so uninstalled it. But i've heard quite a few of you lot talking about using it and on other sites. So what's the attraction about it? I did find it a bit annoying as it wanted to create lots of strange ghost files and various things i didnt really understand...
Do you guys use it as your main image editor or just for a library? Or to process lots of images really quickly? and how would you compare it to something such as google's picassa as a basic image library?
