Lightroom 2 is AWESOME!!! (before and after pics)

I found a bunch of presets to import into Lightroom and I have been playing around a little bit with it. This software can make anybody an artist. Take a look at these before and after pics:

It's pretty amazing what you can do with post processing. From simple white balance correction to something extreme like this with one click of a button. I think I just found my new toy for a few weeks!!

Remember this pic that I couldn't decide on B&W or sepia?

Well, I set it on FIRE!!

From a purity point of view, I like the originals better.

How much was that program. I am getting into editing and stuff. I have a DSLR camera too and want to get into taking some pics and doing that stuff. It looks rad.

IIRC msrp is around $300 unless you have a student discount. With a student discount I believe you can get it for around $100!!

damn that is crazy money. But with the discount doesn't look to be too bad. Is photoshop CS4 kind of the same thing. Thats what I have. Or is it totally different.

From what I have been told CS4 is a lot more advanced than this program. If you have CS4 do a search for some presets and install them. IIRC you can do the same thing with CS4 and Lightroom using the presets.
