The main reason I started buying this package was that it had a good photo editor and organizer (Edit Versions, Photo Stacks, Tags, EXIF and Mapping) all built in. This is somethinga Nerd like me must have, I mustkeep things organized.<o></o>

It now looks like the solution to the problem is to buy an upgrade to PSE10 (can anybody else see a similarity with Microsoft).<o></o>

As this package is said to have a better organizer, that Adobe does support, and keep PSE just for editing. I checked with the forums and have been informed that LR will not import all data from PSE organizer. I have also found out the LR has the same import time bug, provide by Adobe a few months earlier, no doubt it too will be fixed in the next release, if you are happy to pay for an upgrade.<o></o>

I use Apple Aperture 3 for library management (and DxO for RAW conversions, CS5 for editing).

What do you mean by "<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: x-small;"]stuffing up Camera Raw shot time"?

I haven't ran into any problems using LR + CS5 for editing. Do I mis something?

I use Apple Aperture 3 and I'm pretty happy with it, but I've seen it get locked (frozen) up too. I'm not sure if you're using Apple or Microsoft?


I also have LR3 and I like it as well. I would think that LR3 would be a nice step-up from Adobe Photoshop elements. However, I'm not sure about the bug issue that you mentioned. I also like the lens sorting feature and watermark feature that LR3 offers.


They're both great and I wouldn't have any qualms about recommending either one. I think that LR3 has a little more flexibility.


All software can act up at one time or another, it just seems to be the nature of the beast.


Good Luck,
