Is this where LR draws the line: being able to perform a selection, and then have the LR tool just work on that portion of the image?

I have really come to enjoy LR. Once you get onto it, you see just how inefficient workflows involving PS, Bridge, file management (etc) are.

But there certainly are times where you have to work on just a portion of the picture. Are we always going to have to resort to photoshop at this point, or is there hope of a selection tool inside LR?

Bob.

ps: Michael, enjoyed the video update, thanks for that.

LR does have TAT - works somewhat like a selection based adjustment. However, it does not work on pixels but instead on meta data - so, no pixel editing.

PS will never die - You will always need it - at least thats Adobe's intention anyways

For sure...one featherable selection tool..a Lasso with the option key option would make this program a for sure for me. Being able to do larger basic edits in RAW would be golden.

Lightzone has it and if Lightroom had it, it would wash all the others away.

Photoshop Elements is fairly cheap, and integrates well enough with Lightroom.

The current versions (4.01 for Mac, 5.0 for Windows) also support ACR 4.1.

Upgrading to newer versions of Elements as Adobe release them isn't grossly expensive, either.
