I'm not questioning the power of the app.

I just personally can't justify dropping that coin for it unless I was getting paid to shoot.

 

The trial is pretty neat, i gave it a shot and played with raw presharpen.
In the papers we always did high pass filter but it was always troublesome in time consuming.

I think if im doing this right i used selective sharpening and i pick a control point and then i use one of the buttons to see the layer mask and then i can adjust according to it.

It did a great job on my person and i did one on the squirrel.

 

Time is definitely money, possibly the most valuable thing we have.

I suppose, if sharpening is extremely important to you, and you have very specific sharpening needs, then the time savings this grants you could be worth the money.

No way in hell I'd ever buy it though.

Has anyone else used- or should I say attempted to use- a soundtrack with a LR2 slideshow? I swear this is quite possibly the most bug-ridden POS batch of code that Adobe has ever released. It's completely random whether or not it works. I can literally turn on the computer (Mac) and do the EXACT same thing on two different days. One day the soundtrack will work, the next day it won't. No changes to the LR catalog, no changes to anything in iTunes, nothing. Just sometimes it works and you get your sound track other times it doesn't. It's not just my one computer either. The same crap happens on both my iMac and my Macbook Pro.

+1 for photo stacking - never really saw the need for it before, but it sure is nice for stacking 3 pictures together that I'm later going to use for HDR.
