You might not be able to update it - it depends. If you want a version you can reliably update have to spend the moolah.

got lightroom working. not worried about updates.
it looks ok but was shot through a dirty window by hand so not as clear as i'd like it to be.
also when im exporting a RAW edited image on lightroom it bumps the size down to 2.5MB. is it safe to assume i'm losing image quality and is there a way to save it at the higher res as a JPG?

Also when it exports a raw it converts it to a JPEG or any other format of your liking, atleast that what it does in CS5 that I have. JPEG and BMP and PNG are all smaller since they have their own "content stripping" algorithm. Visually you cant tell any difference and Id rather have a smaller file on my HD. Your not losing image quality per se, just image information that the RAW file stores.

On flicker click on the image, and hit the "share" button right above the picture and click "grab HTML/BBCode"

.. kind of disappointed that lightroom can't do certain effects that PS can but end the end it's all about adjusting photos to make them look better so it works awesome.

My wedding package was 4k and my photographer used lightroom to edit our photos.

Lightroom + Nik Software on the other hand unleashes some amazing potential. Really the only use I have now for Photoshop is the Photomerge feature which is just superior to anything else out there.

I like Nik Software but its kind of pricey. I have some Topaz Labs plug ins though. Still trying to decide if I want to upgrade from CS5 to CS6. I already have Lightroom 4.

Most people edit on their desktop and anything less than 25' is kind of small now.
So guess its time for some to get a nice screen now. Hell I don't even edit on my laptop but do have it on both if I need to. And even my 17inch laptop does just fine. lol
