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

I love how easy it is to work with lightroom. Whenever I need a quit editing session I head over to lightroom because I can pull all of my photos into one spot. Being able to bulk edit and add all the same edits makes the process so smooth.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Sometimes the healing tool is a little hard to use. It doesn't work as well as it does on Photoshop so I generally just head over to Photoshop for Cloning and Healing

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

I just want quick edits that make my photos look nice for product photos or social media and this works great for that.

"Work so much more efficiently with Lightroom. "
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

The batch processing of images, and the ability to easily make contact sheets are key assets to this program and used daily. Also the photo organization database makes otherwise long and tedious tasks much easier.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Not being familiar with the adobe environment, the learning curve can be steeper than you realize. I am fluent in photoshop and use it just as often, so no issues. A few of my colleges though who have little to none experience in the adobe environment have a much more difficult time navigating and performing tasks.

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

Speed of processing photos as well as organizing our assets.

"A lot of great tools that are helpful for photo editing"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I like how user-friendly the app is and how there are so many options to work from. I do use it frequently and it's definitely helped streamline processes.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I think because there are so many features, it can be challenging to learn all of the capabilities to Lightroom. However, there are so many documentations out there to help guide you through everything.

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

It helps solve the issue of working from unedited images from events. By editing the images and creating a filter, it has helped streamlined the process in which we utilize images for our websites.

"Lightroom is the best photo editing software outside photoshop."
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love lightroom because compared to photoshop or another editor, lightroom actually lets you edit the image the way you intend on editing it or even the way that the customer wants it. The creativity is endless.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The only dislike I like about it is the mobile app and how the phone version isn't as great as the tablet (mainly iPad version) is.

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

I am solving the only problem, which is making the photo look unique compared to other photo editing apps or software that don't have as much as Lightroom does.
