AFAIK the trial is exactly the same as the full version. @CJ I’m not sure why the trial is smaller. AFAIK the trial is exactly the same as the full version.

Am curious of V2. From the Adobe site Trial is 62MB, wheres the full version is 97MB. What do we "NOT" get to see in the trial, as clearly in the full version, there is half as much again, file wise that is. Cant find anything about limitations of the trial anywhere. ??? “Only Just” getting into Bridge / Lightroom (until few months ago done everything manually). Am curious of V2.

I am currently using View NX as my browser function (Lame, I know, but it has worked up until now). I need to upgrade, and Lightroom looks like the ticket for archiving and managing my photos. However, how do I go about moving my photos into Lightroom? Will it handle that task easily? Regards, Mark Folks:

Pressing the 'o' key toggles the masks visibility. The "auto mask" control is an intelligent masking algorithm that detects edges and constrains your mask to the area of similar values under your brush. Pretty magical stuff. Hey @John,

I LOVED LR 1 and it looks like you guys did an incredible job with LR 2. It's a fantastic product. I upgraded today and can't wait to start using all the new features. My only problem is, I don't really know how to use the new features yet. :) Frederick, thank you and the Lightroom team for all the hard work!

The Graduated Filter is like a ND filter. However it can effect other settings besides just exposure. For example Clarity, Saturation, Brightness, etc. OR even combinations of those settings. Get it to where you want it, then save it as a preset. Power. You got it Scott. The Graduated Filter is like a ND filter. However it can effect other settings besides just exposure.

Solving my one and only criticism with previous versions...library management across multiple hard drives. The graduated filter also sounds interesting...might this tool be similar (in post) to the effect of a ND filter on-camera when shooting landscapes? Excellent!
