Why do you say that? I can seem to work with Lightroom and color space other than sRGB... I'm using one of the PVA panels (not those cheap TN panels--there really is a difference) with wide-gamut backlight, and I really see the difference. I don't think anyone thinks Lightroom is a Photoshop replacement; people use them together. It's just a way to organize images and apply "RAW processing" to the file. Indeed, people frequently edit images using PS from within LR and keep the original and edit copy together. What I wish Adobe did to LR is to add functions oriented to image files from film scanning. This includes photomerge automation in 16-bit color within Lightroom. -- Ryuji Suzuki http://silvergrain.org
