I'm using Aperture 3. I find it to be much more streamlined than using Photoshop for the purposes of photo work. It seems to have a good 90% of Photoshops features, for far less money. I believe Lightroom is very similar to Aperture.

I use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom too. But for beginners who do not want to spend. the freeware Photoscape has some really good features.

Photoshop and I usually use blend modes with the black/white gradient to make things pop or to just give the image a higher quality feel.

I use Bridge>Adobe Camera Raw>Photoshop CS3. I'm considering upgrading to CS5 while I still qualify for the educational discount (it's like $200). I did beta testing on LR 3 b2 for a couple months, and it was awesome. However, my editing is of the nature that I need the full monty of Photoshop's features, so I won't be purchasing it. For my purposes ACR>Photoshop is a better bet.

For 95% of users, Lightroom 3 will be a one-stop editing program. It's really efficient and fully featured!

I never liked lightroom's interface. For me it is paintshop version 9 (don't care for the later versions it became less user friendly) for quick basic work or photoshop CS3 for more intense work... to me paintshop works for probably 95% of what I want to do and is very fast... photoshop has a few things that I use once in a while but is slower to process so it makes no sense for doing quick fixes.
