Thanks for the input - there is an adobe class coming to Los Angeles in July that my dh wants to go to but it would require purchasing the software and I am on the fence on which purchase I should do first - CS5 or Lightroom. I am a point and shoot girl and truly have no patience for editing beyond what actions I have can do automatically for me but he is looking for something more. Personally, I think he just needs to learn how to use Photoshop lol.
