On today's show, Scott Kelby tells you everything you need to know if you're interested in buying Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, or if you already have the program and want to make the most of it.
- What does Lightroom 2 do?
- How is it better than Lightroom 1 and Adobe Bridge?
- If you can only afford to buy either Photoshop or Lightroom, which one should you get?
- What the fastest way to sort through hundreds of photos to find the best shots?\
You'll learn all this and more when the Kelbinator joins us on Digital Photography Life.
Scott also gives away a copy of his new book, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 for Digital Photographers and a free year's membership to the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (a $99 value!).
Before our chat with Scott, Michael and I talk about our vision for Digital Photography Life. We want to bring you the best digital photography news, reviews and tips and tricks out there.
On this episode, we talk about the pretty-good but less-than-earthshaking reviews of the new Canon 50D, why you might be better off buying the cheaper Canon 40D (hint: it's cheaper!) and the apparent awesomeness of the Canon 5D Mark II.
We also want you to be part of the fun. Send us a note at digitalphotographylife@gmail.com and tell us about you - what you shoot with, what equipment you have, and what you'd like to hear on the show. You can also ask us questions - we love questions! We'll answer you in email or maybe on the show.
Here are some links to subjects discussed on the show:
- Round up of Canon 50D reviews
- Amazing Canon 5D Mark II video: Vincent LaForet's Reverie
- The new Micro 4/3rds cameras

Thanks Pat and Mike. It feels great to be back in the saddle. Although, I can't help thinking it would be more comfortable to just podcast from a chair like everyone else. Smile.
