I love Lightroom. It has quickly become pretty much the only tool I use to import, review, adjust, crop, retouch, publish, and print photographs.

If you are a serious amateur or professional photographer, you really must check it out. Lightroom thinks like a photographer, unlike Photoshop, which thinks like a graphic designer.

I've messed around with Aperture a bit, but I Lightroom just has a better feel to it. I also like the fact that Lightroom runs on Windows.
