Re: What's the scoop on this?

Eric,

If you take a look at the Adobe Labs website, they have a very nicely worded
explanation of our thinking about where this project is coming from. This is
a much better job that I could probably do at answering this question.

I can say that part of the thinking behind Lightroom is that most
photographers use about 10-15% of what Photoshop offers, so it is a Swiss
Army knife, so to speak, and we are trying to create a "scalpel". As far as
next generation or breakthroughs, we are trying to create something that
will be as close to an end to end workflow product as possible, so that
photographers can move away from having to cobble together multiple pieces
of software that may not play so nice together. An end to end solution saves
a lot of time and hassle, and hopefully allows you to focus on what is
important-your images.

Please let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks,
Dan
