Go easy on the noise reduction and sharpening. LR3 has a tendency to get REAL cartoonish if you overdo it.
The key to lightroom is to use it WITH PS. They integrate flawlessly. Lightroom isn't as in depth. Usually I will make basic adjustments in lightroom, and then from there I will highlight images I want, then Right click---> open as layers in CS5. Does half the work from there.
Then when you hit save in PS, (JUST SAVE, not SAVE AS) it will automatically re-import and stack in lightroom. Make final changes, and boom, done.
The key to using lightroom for me is organization.
Go on a shoot, import to lightroom, and then you can go through the photos and color mark them. Get rid of the trash and then mark what you'd like to work on, and then go from there. Organization is key.

Yea honestly I only use LR for organizational purposes and basic RAW adjustments. I prefer to do the heavy work in PS. Also, I'm still on LR2 and CS4. (CS3 and no LR at all at work  )

I just save as a shoot name, then I can just go into that folder and revisit shots from a specific shoot.
x2.
I use ViewNX for both my organizing and previewing since unlike Bridge, it's easily set up for two monitors - one with the thumbnails and one with a full screen view.
cheers,
scott
