comment Is Lightroom overkill for a JPG-oriented workflow?
I got myself LightRoom 4, and I'm starting to shoot RAW when the light conditions are difficult ;-)

comment Is Lightroom overkill for a JPG-oriented workflow?
Thanks Paolo. I know it comes down to personal preferences too, but I don't like the Gimp at all - I'd rather pay for a better (ergonomy) interface - and in my personal experience it's not very stable on windows. And for my needs on the average I'd rather have a Picasa on steroids, I almost never need the power of a Photoshop-like tool!

@ to an unknown: thanks for the downvote without any comment/explanation/suggestion on improving (or closing) the question. You definitely know how to make stackexchange a better place.

thanks for your feedback on LR! I am quite used to separate Develop and Library for having used Cyberlink PhotoDirector 3. I don't mind too much, usually those two modules correspond to different mindsets. I'm not good enough at photo editing for me to be worth using Photoshop - I would most likely do destructing ending in the artistic sense of the term :)

thanks @user952 that's extremely detailed and valuable. I will definitely (hopefully reasonably soon) try them both but it really, really help to know what I should be looking for!

comment Does a high ISO generally result in bad dynamic range and less accurate color?
Yes! And if you read their detailed explanation about Dynamic Range: Dynamic range falls rapidly with higher ISO settings, as any analog or digital amplification performed will increase the noise in the darker areas, making it harder to distinguish between fine levels of contrast - though @MattGrum might still be right in that with a lot of light the camera will not have to exploit amplification/tricks even with higher ISO.
