Just a quick tip for all those people out there who don’t use Lightroom yet
With the upcoming release of Lightroom 4 (it is being beta-tested at the moment), now is a very good time to get started with it (Lightroom I mean)!
You can get Lightroom 3 for about 120 Euros at the moment (for example at Amazon)! That is about 60% cheaper than the regular 300 bucks you have to pay for the full version.
I thought we were talking about buying Lightroom 4 not Version 3!
I was just getting there: Even if you buy the update to Lightroom 4 later on, you still can expect to get away way cheaper than buying the full version for 300€. The upgrade from Lightroom 2 to Lightroom 3 costed about 90 Euros, so if we expect the upgrade prices to stay close to that, we’ll be able to get a full version of Lightroom 4 for about 210€ (120€ for Lightroom 3 and 90€ fot the upgrade to Version 4). That is about 90€ cheaper than the full version, if we presume the release price is the same as for Lightroom 3.
Summary
Ok, all those numbers can be confusing, so here’s the short version: if you are planning to buy Lightroom, buy version 3 now and an upgrade to version 4 later and you’ll save a lot of money!
