[quote john-o]I'm actually a little sorry to hear you say that. I was hoping to replace iView with LIghtroom. Can't it be used as a DAM app?
It can, but it depends on exactly what you want to do with it. It's not a cataloging application. You can manage multiple libraries of images, do your keywording,
add metadata, make multiple versions of images, sort, stack, compare, rate, etc. etc.
For what it's worth, Peter Krogh, the author of "The DAM Book" is a Lightroom
enthusiast, and has a web forum devoted to using Lightroom's DAM features:
