Lightroom Tools

[Krystal]

Hello,

I just used the Lightroom trial, but didn't get a chance to make sure it has the same editing tools as Photoshop Elements. I'm pretty sure it is the one I want to purchase, but could someone tell me if it has the same tool options as PS Elements. Can you do the same editing with LR?

Thanks so much for any info,

Krystal

Not sure which tools you are refering to. If you are refering to the tools in ACR which is how RAW files are first opened in PSE7, then yes, those are the tools you use in LR. If you are looking for things such as clone, selection tools to cut out selections, etc, then no.

LR is a designed to develop and enhance images. However it is quite powerful for most purposes. Here is a good example of an image that was processed in LR to get the look I wanted. I wanted to have an image that portrayed the way the scene looked, but used a flash get the shot, as I didn't want to push the ISO.
