 I guess I just have to use it for a while to see what it does to my DAM system. I use Media Pro for archiving my catalogs - none of the other apps work so well or manage as many files in a catalog. That said, what I also need is a smaller subset of images - maybe the last 3 months worth located and synced on my laptop and iMac and the catalog somewhere like Dropbox so I can access them at home or away. I THINK the dropbox solution will work...still not positive.

As to the layer issue, I have a copy of Perfect Photo Suite, which includes Perfect Layers (not used on Photoshop) which gives LR all the layer goodness of PS plus a little. As for Actions...I have quite a few, but it looks like many can be recreated in LR as presets? Or not...

Oh well... This insane project is taking mountains of time :-)

Where will it all end? Probably with a grudging subscription to PS? Not so much just for ACR, more perhaps to save the accumulated working knowledge of PS - but it has exposed me to some of the advantages of CO7 and LR... I just don't completely see the path for integrating them peacefully ...
