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

I like the raw imaging processing ability and the fact that Lightroom is a potent RAW image editor. It is second to none, in my opinion.

The learning curve, however, if you follow examples and research an issue you are having or do not understand, there is tons of information thats simple to understand

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

Just the overall editing. It is a great product. Lightstream simplifies my imaging editing work.

"Best Photo editing Application for Professional & Beginners"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I like the interface of the Lightroom, and It's easy to understand for anyone, whether he is a professional who is doing photography for years or a beginner who has just learned about this program. Another best feature that I like is its ability to use plugins. The dynamic link that adobe introduced is a game-changer for anyone because it allows you to use adobe applications like photoshop or lightroom simultaneously without exporting the image that you are working thus saving you lots of time and never leave the application.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

There is nothing to dislike about this application. It is only getting better and better with each update. The only thing that I wish for Adobe to do in to lower the prices for the independent creators like me who do not have any steady flow of income.

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

I am a Photographer, so I use the lightroom to create and give a stylized look to the photos that I take regularly.

"Easy to use, best photo editor"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

As someone who works with Media, this is one of the best editing apps. What I like most is the variety of free semi-professional tools, including tools for color correction, exposure, saturation. The application also allows the creation of albums that are saved in the cloud. In addition, I can also mention the practicality at the time of editing and the excellent efficiency in the results.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Excellent application. I don't have much to complain about. Maybe recommend some things I miss, the option of smooth skin, blur, and the choice of how to save the photo (jpeg, png, etc.). And also be able to keep the presets created by users to stay permanently even when we have to reinstall the app.

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

I use this app in my daily life. One of the benefits that I have noticed over time is that whenever I go out on the street to photograph or make a video, I don't have to go back to download and publish the material from the place where I am.

"Best mobile APP to edit photos"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love how easy and good the free version works on the mobile. The paid version had the most fantastic pictures, but it is already possible to do many goods edits with the free version. Mainly to get the hang of it and improve super-fast, step by step. You can turn your pictures into extremely professional photos with a few clicks on your phone.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Nothing really. I enjoy the majority of the features, and I have no big dislike points. It is easy to learn and has good quality.

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

I am editing my pictures straight from the camera, on my phone, on the go to post online. That´s amazing when you have a hectic life on the go. You can try out the free version and free presets if you are not convinced and then install it and both in the laptop and mobile.

"No better way to manage photography projects and apply quick fixes"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love the organizational features of Lightroom. When I am on a shoot, I take hundreds of pictures and don't always have time to process them the moment I get to the office. For pet projects, it's sometimes days or weeks before I get to them. With Lightroom I am able to keep things organized easily, make color corrections and apply LUTs, and share them with my clients easily.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

If you are expecting all of the features of Photoshop, you are in the wrong place. Lightroom is for quick edits, color correction etc, not for more detailed editing. Also, as a documentary filmmaker, I use a lot of stills in my work. While Lightroom integrates well with Photoshop, I wish it would integrate with Premiere and After Effects...it would save me a lot of time.

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

Lightroom solves all of my still picture organization needs and allows me to quickly apply color corrections and LUTs.

"Editing Photos with Adobe Lightroom"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love the way I can organize my photos through my personal hard drive and the easy ways to edit photos using the develop tab.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

For some of the options for skin retouching (anything that's not with coloring), I'd prefer to use Photoshop. I also don't like the missing links when you move your photos. I wish there was an easier way to find all of them.

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

Changes the game for color consistency among photos for a social media feed, website or branding purposes.

"Edit like a pro"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

If you are familiar with PhotoShop, the interface of Lightroom will feel equally as comfortable and familiar to use. Intuitive setup, and powerful tools to edit and transform images and tell stories.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I wish the interface had additional filter options.

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

Editing was so time-consuming in Photoshop; however with saved presets, easy uploads and libraries, images are quickly edited efficiently and in an organized manner.
