I used adobe light room in my classes...for my photo minor...it's an awesome program...

It definitely is three times over! Hey, answer a question for me would you? When this thing pulls up a picture for the first time after it's imported your files it shows the picture briefly in nice vibrant high color and all that, and then it seems to put a default import filter or initial settings on it which often doesn't look as good as without. I've just renamed the pconfig.dcf file and it seems to do the same thing. This is the Beta 2.0 version so there isn't any help available. Any ideas? Where should I be looking for some basic help/info?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the adobe help forums?
There might be some stuff in there about this issue. This sounds familiar but as to how to fix it your guess is as good as mine....sorry bud.

I would check the link here if you haven't already..

Oh sorry I don't have a PC..I use a Mac. >.>
Sorry for helping enough! :D

Well I did a few HDR tests today and they came out pretty good. I'll post the results later.

ah, ok! :D

I basically don't need photoshop anymore... Lightroom is an amazing tool to do most of the post-work... Literally the digital darkroom...

Absolutely! Only using Paint Shop Pro for getting rid of that pesky dirt I'm always forgetting to clean off the lens.
