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

Lightroom simplifies the use of advanced editing features to allow even beginners to achieve exceptional results when editing photos. I mostly like the Lens correction feature and color mix.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I would love to see more presets offered. Another option that I am missing is saving a copy of an image and the edited image instead of keeping only the edited image.

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

With Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, I can create striking professional-looking photos without the need to learn photoshop. It is quicker and more accessible. My social media engagement grew as a result.

"Great for making small edits to photographs"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I like the ease of the UI. Granted, I do quite a bit of photo edits; this may not be easy for a beginner. It took me a while to save templates for my general edits. That took some time to get done, but once that was finished it made my work flow so much better.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I feel that the mobile application is limited as compared to the desktop version.

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

No problems, really. Just mainly with the mobile application and cloud where I upload these photos. However, that is probably from a mobile setting standpoint, which is something that I would need to fix.

"Fantastic app + fantastic integration"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I really appreciate the integration throughout the adobe ecosystem, with CC libraries, easy exports to other programs, and accessibility of my library from various devices. I also really appreciate the lightroom photo editing capabilities - easy for easy tasks, and deeper for more complex needs. We love using Adobe products, and Lightroom enables us to collaborate across the design team as we edit and make use of our photo assets.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Occasionally I've been confused by the differences between Adobe photo products. Lightroom classic. Photoshop Lightroom. Photoshop. Ps Express for mobile. Lightroom for mobile. Bridge. There are a ton of products in the photo space, and finding the right workflow is essential. The 'toggle/slider' interface on mobile in particular can also be finnicky. I don't find the amount slid always consistently corresponds to the severity of the edit for various capabilities.

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

I use Lightroom day to day for photo editing, light touch-ups and deeper color-correction, coordination between design members, coordination between mobile, ipad and desktop, and occasional deeper photo manipulation.

"Easy to use, best app for perfect photos"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

In my daily life as a media professional, this application has helped me a lot. It has quality filters, I can import other people's presets, and it has a very high amount of editing tools, which gives you a lot of creative freedom. It even comes with a super camera that makes your photos look like a professional camera. On Android or iPhone, the user can adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, lighting, add effects, filters, among other features.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I don't have much to complain about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom because it is an excellent photo editor. Maybe ask them to add the option to take photos in size 20:9 and add the possibility to take panoramic photos right from the app, in RAW.It would also be interesting if I had the option to add sky in the photos, with Photoshop and do double exposure.

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

In my work, we introduced mobile journalism, and for that, we have been using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to edit and record videos. The quality is excellent; whether in the studio or on the street and very practical, we don't need to travel to edit; in a short time, I can record, edit and share on social media

"Best app for photo editing"

I am saving a lot of time by using this application. It provides me multiple ways to edit a photo and adding colours as per my need it gives life to some of my photos. There are a variety of adjustments like hue, saturation and colour corrections.

It crashes while working on heavy files. It looks difficult at some points, but by the time you will learn a lot.

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

You can upload images on the adobe cloud and whenever you want, you can access these files from your pc or mobile.

"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.

"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.
