Lightroom 3 $69.95, 24 hours only

Everyone's been closing this out. Must be a new version coming.

This could potentially be worth it just for the barrel lens distortion correction it provides.
 
LR4 comes out in a few weeks, that's why the price is going lower. I wouldn't be surprised if it drops below this price point also, but since LR4 is going to be $99 (assuming it follows the LR price point from before) and includes video editing now, so that's something to take in consideration on this. They've also added in new editing functions.

The retail price of Lightroom 3 is $300. I assume that will be the introductory price of Lightroom 4.
 
This is a full version which retails for $300, and the upgrade version traditionally costs $99. Unless there's deals on LR4 (and I'm not saying there won't be) this could be the cheapest route to get LR4.

Unfortunately I bought LR3 on Sunday for $99. Gah!

They are different tools. However, I'd recommend picking up PSE (Photoshop Elements). I have fully licensed Photoshop 6 at home and then started using CS3 at work. I picked up CSE9 for like $50 and never ever open PS6 at home anymore and used it more than CS3 at the office...it loads faster than CS3 and did almost 100% of what I needed unless I was working on media to go to production printing. Even then it was just more of a sanity check than really having to do any tweaking.

Lightroom is focused on what you'd do in a darkroom more or less. Photoshop is focused on full image manipulation and especially going to print/commercial work on the non-Photoshop Essentials products.
 
Thanks much alkemyst,

I'm currently downloading a trial of Photo Shop Elements and will also get the trial of Premier Elements.

Thanks very much for the response,

I just downloaded Gimp for free and found tone curve and levels and am stoked, and it's free! I got version 2.6 easy to find with a google search.
