Editing photos with Lightroom

Craig introduced me to this amazing software and it has revolutionised by photo management and editing.  It is built by photographers for photographers from the ground up and is so much more intuitive than Photoshop.

Well done, Russel

Well Robyn, in one of your comments you challenged Russel to do an exciting Myburgian leap. Here I think you will agree he (and friends) have more than delivered. Excellent jumps all round! Russel has a wonderful blog that is well worth a regular visit.
