I finally upgraded from ps 5.5 to lightroom. I really do not the fact that I know nothing. It organizes everything differently and I am still earning how to export, develop and even crop.

Please share some tips so I don't go back to 5.5

Thanks

Lightroom has two main modes: Library and Develop, with the buttons to switch modes in the upper right corner of the screen. Library mode is for organizing your library into folders, making minor edits, cropping/rotating/etc. Develop mode is for focusing on a particular image and editing it to perfection, setting white balance and all that. Generally when working with multiple photos (move to folder, export, etc) you'll want to be in Library mode, and for single photo stuff, go into Develop mode.

I highly recommend going through Lightroom's built-in tutorials, they're pretty useful. I know it seems confusing at first, but it's an awesome tool.
