If Lightroom is too expensive...

[MarkBarbieri]

I'm confused by all the Lightroom threads, so I thought I'd put this out on its own rather than lump it in with one of the others.

If you find Lightroom to be too expensive and only need it infrequently, use the trial trick. I have one license for Lightroom, which allows me to use it on two machines. I use it on two machines at the house, but I also like to have it on a third machine that I use when I travel. For that machine, I just use the 30 day trial. It resets the counter every time they release a new point version (3.0, 3.1, 3.2, etc). That happens surprisingly often, so I rarely have a trip when I can't use a fresh trial.

That seems pricey to me for such an old camera. I'd get something newer and cheaper.

I still don't think I will use LR all that much.

Has there been a new trial version released?

I used the trial quite thoroughly after a virus took out my less than legitimate copy of 2... until I was a student again and could get 3 cheap.

I didn't think I would either. But you'll be surprised!
