"Lightroom for photo editing"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I mainly use Adobe Lightroom for photo editing. It's a wonderful software in everyway. For anyone with a DSLR, lightroom is a must-have software

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

There are not any downsides to using lightroom. However, I would prefer if the software and its tools get automatically optimized according to the system (PC/laptop) configuration.

What problems is Adobe Lightroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Photoshop and Lightroom are both wonderful software for postprocessing the images taken from my DSLR. With the catalogue feature, lightroom allows me to easily group and label the pics for future use.

"Light room is an advanced software for photos editing"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

You can do everything you need to make a basic edit, color correct, and export - all with the same skills you already know in Lightroom In Lightroom , it's easy to trim video clips, capture still frames, and even make solid color correction to your videos without having to reinvent your workflow.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Adobe Lightroom is a powerful RAW image processor. ... If you're into professional photography, you won't need Photoshop unless you want to manipulate images. Lightroom does not edit the original files.

What problems is Adobe Lightroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lightroom is more for local adjustments. And Photoshop is better suited to very detailed and complicated editing

"Best program for professionalizing your photos"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I like the freedom of the brushes that allow me to use any lighting/color customization in a selected area.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The file system can be a little tricky, especially if you edit from different drives.

What problems is Adobe Lightroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Without the extent of the editing I am able to do through Lightroom, my photos definitely wouldn't look as professional or be as captivating. I am always discovering more ways to edit with this program as well, which only makes my photos better and better.

"Lightroom is genius "

Effortless to edit photos in batches and make them social media-worth.

A little hard to learn at first. Not very intuitive. A simplified user interface would make it easier to use and faster.

"Ultimate photo editing tool!"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love everything about Lightroom. It is really fast and easy to use. Truly awesome and simple user-friendly interface that takes no time to learn. The interface is so intuitive, so it takes just about 15 minutes to learn it. Lightroom has everything you need in order to edit photographs in a professional way. Besides, its organization functionality is unmatched. It helps you to organize your photos in a really smart and productive way, sync settings across different devices, and keep everything in it place.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I wish it was even faster when you synchronize settings between bunch of different photos in the catalogue. It would be cool to Improve catalogue organization, so when you toss files around, Lightroom can detect that automatically and updates files' location in the background.

What problems is Adobe Lightroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

It drastically improved my workflow. Thanks to Lightroom, i became so much more faster, easier, more comfortable and simply more pleasant. I enjoy working with Photoshop Lightroom and spend there countless hours every day.

"Lightroom is great to work with especially when doing batch edits of a lot of photos"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

The thing that I like best about Adobe Lightroom is the ability to copy and paste edits from one photo to multiple other photos. The controls to edit everything is very simple to use and the program as a whole is extremely user friendly.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

A lot of the presets that come with the software aren't great, wish it came with better default presets. I wish there was an easier way to toggle on and off a "before" and "After" view. As it stands, you can only see the before and after by viewing it as a split screen. It would be nice to see it full screen and simply click a button that turns on and off your edits.

What problems is Adobe Lightroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lightroom has made the time it takes to process and edit photos after a shoot a breeze. It's also been great for tagging and adding keywords to different photos. We use Lightroom as a clearing house for all of our photos, it serves as a great library.

"Lightroom"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love its ease of use. I stayed away from Lightroom for years because I didn't want to learn a new program, but I finally cracked it open and learned it. Now I'm kicking myself for not learning it sooner. I think this is currently my favorite app from the Adobe suite.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

So far nothing. I think it might be nice to add a way to easily organize presets in app, but otherwise, I am happy.

What problems is Adobe Lightroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sprucing up images for publication, social media, and marketing and sales materials.

"Lightroom is my bestfriend"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I use Lightroom almost every day for easy and quick photo editing on the fly. it helps me get through quick edits that in other programs would take hours.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

My only wish is that lightroom would have better integration with photoshop, where I could edit a photo in both photoshop and lightroom at the same time.

What problems is Adobe Lightroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lightroom allows my business to run much faster, we are able to knock out photo edits on the fly in no time at all. So overall lightroom really enhances our work flow.

"Lightroom is essential and a no-brainer for photographers"

I love the bulk editing technology and simple application processes, not to mention the thousand ways you can edit the photo. I feel like I still am learning new things in Lightroom every single day and my photo editing only becomes more and more versatile.

Not much I dislike about Lightroom. I wish my camera could connect to it like some models, but that's my camera to blame, not Lightroom.

What problems is Adobe Lightroom solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving many photo gallery problems to create compelling photos from mediocre RAW quality photos.
