I have both Lightroom and Photoshop and one thing I have been trying to work out is the best approach to taking photos into Photoshop from Lightroom and managing the extra file that it creates when you are done editing in Photoshop (the PSD or TIFF). Do you keep in the collection both files? Or do you tag them differently? Or create a new collection? Any tips or future blog posts on this topic would be awesome :) Thanks again for all your tips!

Jody: You make beautifull actions for photoshop, i can´t wait to see your presets for lightroom!!

That is still confusing for me in switching between Lightroom and Photoshop. Thanks so much! Hi Jodi, when you say you then ‘save’ in Lightroom, do you mean you export?

Presently, I am working with the minimum equipment until my website and business grows...humble beginnings...so, I use my iPhoto program on a hard-drive connected to my laptop to sort and store original files and it is working for now, but not very time efficient. Does anyone have advice for me as to where to go from here? Convince me why I should use Lightroom in my workflow. I am taking Jodi's speed editing workshop this month, so I can take another step forward now that I have a basic understanding of Photoshop and using actions, etc... Also, I am wondering what monitor to purchase. I am shopping for a new computer and/or monitor. What is the best one for photographers. Please help me, fellow bloggers and MCP fans...I would appreciate any advice you would share. Thanks so much....in labor and about to give birth to my website...xo I don’t have Lightroom yet, but am considering upgrading my Photoshop CS2 and purchasing the

I know there is so many more features to it, but I mostly just use it as a catalog and to adjust white balance and exposure before running everything through Photoshop.
