I want you to know that it is quite hard for me to write his entry and not riddle it with profanity. Over the course of several months a hobby project of mine, something as geeky as a character sheet for the roleplaying system Silhouette, had me spending quite a bit of time with Adobe Acrobat’s built-in scripting engine, and I feel compelled to make sure you don’t repeat my mistake.

I’ve been smitten with Adobe Lightroom.
Over the weekend I spent a lot of hours working in Aperture, and while I got a lot of work done, I always felt a bit awkward with the whole thing. Like bringing a kitchen sink to a knife fight.

It’s faster, easier and out of my way in just about all respects. The cropping tool alone beats Aperture to a pulp, while laughing manically.
Anyway, hop on over and check out the first batch of photos from our Paris trip, most of which has been through Lightroom.
