I own both LR v2 and CS4 but have many reason why CS4 works better for me, metadata templates and scripting, to name a few biggies. And I’ve always felt CS did everything Lightroom did until I happen to come across this article and the excerpt below, saying "In Lightroom, unlike Photoshop, Curves is nearly foolproof". I admit I’ve struggled to put Curves to good use.
"In Lightroom, unlike Photoshop, Curves is nearly foolproof. Just grab that little donut in the upper left corner, and mouse over an area of your image. Tap the down arrow to darken that tone, up to brighten. The Curves will follow."

Lightroom should suit my style a lot more: import files, review/select/sort, export, is all I do in my Sports and PJ work. But I don’t like the "flow" in LR, besides the metadata and scripting shortcomings. The whole idea of "Modules" and you can’t do that in this module just puts a cramp in my style. Bridge and CS4 just work for me much better, but in the back of my mind I keep thinking LR is where I should be working.
Just waiting for something special to sway me to LR….
