Earlier today I recieved an email pitch for "Landscape Pro" having never heard of it, & planning on diving into the LR/Photoshop subscription as son as I can get a bit of spare time! I was wondering what the congregation knew/thought about this product. Thanks all...

Never heard of it. Did go to the site. Has a free trial offer. Utube university. Could teach about close to same. It free. Free is always good.

If you take the time to learn Photoshop, you don't really need something like Landscape Pro.
All those things Landscape Pro does - alter tones, replace sky, lighten/darken areas, etc. - with a little experience, you can achieve all that in Photoshop with little effort. As you are already planning to get Photoshop, I suggest you become proficient with it and pass on Landscape Pro.

Thanks, just curious. I plan on sticking to the plan.

There are now so many software packages being offered to photographers
one wonders just how many more can be offered and how much time
can one spare to make use of them all?

I've got their other software Portrait Professional and am pleased with it. I did download Landscape Pro and played with it a bit. It seems useful and easy to use. Since I don't shoot a lot of landscapes it didn't get much use and the free trial ran out.

You'll be far better off learning to use your camera than relying on some application to provide the talent.

Imagine how good Ansel Adams would've been had he learned to use his camera.

Probably still a shade better than you when you learn to use yours.

That's true if you are trying to use software to make lousy photos into great photos. But there are things you can do in post to improve photos that are as good as you can get them out of the camera. The reason I don't care to use applications like Landscape Pro is that they automatically make decisions that I would prefer to make myself with Photoshop.

Ansel did pp to a degree.

Excellent philosophy, John. I'm in your corner on this approach.
