Hi guys, new in the forum.
Having a thought in what I missed in LR (haven´t yet try the LR4 version), what I mostly miss is:
- A complete index catalog with thumbnails of all the catalogs I have in LR, so that clicking in one you´re sent straight to that catalog, and incluiding the names of the collections. This not much Mb consuming and will help from closing LR every time we want to change catalog. Even better would be if you can open in a catalog collectios selected from different catalogs in a, let´s call it, working catalog, wich would be only temporal with the ability to give it a name so that it can be recalled any time.
- Enhanced ability to contain a bigger amount of photographs on every catalog.
- As I´d like it to be my ultimate software for photographers, it still lacks some abilities most of us use with third party appliances: Pano, HDR (although this is being enhanced with the ability to get more detail from shadows and clipping lights), Focus HDR (as the helicon) ...
- An option to burn DVD straight from LR, so we don´t have to export files for customers, friends, etc, in wich there should be the possibility to transform files to JPEG & TIFF, so that they can be seen on any Mac/PC.
I know this is not easy at all, but a while working with top engineers taught me that one should imagine the ultimate thing you´d like to have, so that they start thinking how to achieve it and, if they cannot now, keep it in mind so that when choosing one way or another in the development process they keep doors open for the last required result. Engineers love to have inputs to develop.
