Adobe Lightroom

The last piece of software I got excited over was firefox and it's way neat extensions.  But little has changed in the industry that offered me such a refreshing experience as Adobe's latest work, Lightroom. While Photoshop (CS3) is still considered the industry workhorse, I have always felt that it was not prosumer friendly until Lightroom.  Lightroom merges a bunch of different modules (which are integral components and worthy of individual software on its own) into a beautifully designed GUI.  It makes a HUGE difference in one's workflow and something I had always wondered why it has taken Adobe this long to pump out.  Their web gallery feature is one of my favorites as some of you have witnessed in my galleries.  Defintely worth checking out especially if you work on many photos.
