I like how versatile Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is. I can do anything in one software, from filters to blurring faces to adding text.

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

One of the newer features on Lightroom allows the user to easily mask out the subject, sky, etc. and edit those things individually. This feature is absolutely fantastic and makes editing super simple.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The "bandage" features could be improved upon. It would be great if Lightroom had more Photoshop capabilities so that I wouldn't have to use two separate programs to edit my photos.

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

I edit photos of our customers' planes painted in our paint shop. I can make each image look amazing while still keeping the original colors and details of the actual aircraft.

we can get new templates and new designs for quick edit and can do the editing work without any intensive efforts. This helped me to use it without any prior knowledge .

Leaving the advantages aside, the main dislike is maximum content has paid access. So we need to pay for using its full potential and do the work. The remaining part is good.

It helped me to create marketing posters and posters for my college events and also for editing images. We can use the new templates present in it for easily working on images.
