Lightroom 2 has made a big impression on us landscape photographers because of its adjustment brush tool, giving us selective control of localized adjustments for color, you can quickly import, process, manage, and showcase your images from one shot to an entire shoot. With Lightroom 2, you spend less time in front of the computer and more time behind the lens.
