My copy of LR3 should be here on Friday or next Monday. Did anyone upgrade to LR3 and does anyone know a good instructional book for Lightroom?
I hope that I can improve my PP skills.

Mrbeefhead show some respect to the next POTUS. With the state of this union who knows what may happen in 2012. Of course, that assumes that we all somehow survive the 2012 end of the world thing.
Anywho, the box is on the truck and LR3 will be on my doorstep when I get home.

I'm trying to decide on whether to buy any editing software.
Lightroom 3 looks like a retail version of picasa. It has that local brush, but not sure if it's worth $300. It does RAW as well, but I don't use RAW for hobby shooting.
Photoshop elements looks like a pretty good bargain. I remember the program being less than user friendly, though.
I looked in the member information thread and I think everyone has both programs... and then some.
Lots of college kids?

I'm not sure what they did in the algorithms from LR2 to LR3, but I've noticed that at least on my camera's files, the sharpening and noise reduction are *far* better. It doesn't seem nearly as quick to operate though, and I'm only working on 5mp files

I'm using the demo of light room right now. OMG
I took a shot of a bird standing on the ground and made it pretty awesome just by upping the "clarity" and saturation a little to make the bird stand out from the already oof ground.
The full LR3 version also has better noise reduction and built-in lens correction that are not in the demo.
I wish that I had more time to play around with it.

I love LR3... so worth the 99 bucks to upgrade...
its loads faster than 2.7, more organized, can batch out graphical watermarks, noise reduction is nuts, use of tilt/shift to fix vertical lines, brush app is better than 2.7 yada yada.
100% crops both images on left are old noise reduction
the bad one is OG file pushed a lil
the good one is LR3 having at it.
i believe these were shot at 12,800 ISO 5d2

There is an update for LR3 that I saw on Facebook. It has been tested but not to the point where it is an automatic update.
Here is the link:
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/
Here are the details:
Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 Available on Adobe LabsLightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 are now available as Release Candidates on Adobe Labs. (Download here: Lightroom 3.2, Camera Raw 6.2, including the DNG Converter 6.2) The erelease candidatef label indicates that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of our customers.
WAIT! What happened to Lightroom 3.1? Well, it never happened. In order to simplify the presentation of updates for raw file format compatibility, the Lightroom and Camera Raw gdoth version numbers have been aligned at g2. We update the Camera Raw plug-in and Lightroom regularly to provide access to new proprietary raw file formats and have aligned the decimal place so that therefs no confusion over which Lightroom update corresponds to a Camera Raw plug-in update and vice versa.
The final releases of Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 may have additional corrections or camera support.
New FeaturesThe ability to publish directly to Facebook from within the Library module
New Camera Support in Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 Release Candidates
New Lens Profile Support in Lightroom 3.2 and Camera Raw 6.2 Release
Bugs Corrected in the Lightroom 3.2 Release CandidateThe following bugs that were released as part of Lightroom 3.0 have been corrected. The team appreciates the very detailed feedback the community has provided on the Lightroom 3.0 release and wefre excited to correct a number of issues experienced by our customers.

I downloaded and installed the 3.2 rev and I didn't notice a change +/-.
I kept trying to install Camera Raw 6.2 before I realized that it was for PS and not LR.
I am wondering if it(camera raw 6.2) will work with my elements 7.
