I love that is can get so specific to what your goal would be for a project.
It might be a little too intricate! It’s a lot of work.
A lot of problems that people have with already edited photos, I can re-edit.
Simple, basic verson of Photoshop and great for organizing
Catalogs can have a big learning curve. Still trying to figure out how to not take up too mubh space
Cataloging and quick photo editing
Lightroom is the brain child of Photoshop that can do almost everything PS can just easier and in a more understandable and user friendly interface.
That you can not reupload images in your current collections to create a new collection of different edits.
Creating images for my clients that exceed their expectations.
Menus are very simple and intuitive, the work this program does is unbeliveable when it comes to balancing lights and switching colors
Presets are not really usefull, i would put more presets of all kinds.
It makes balancing lights easier
I love using lightroom because it's so user friendly, and it gives you so many different editing options. As a photographer, there's so many different editing tools and options. But with lightroom, you can get overlays and presets that are easily applied to your photos.
The only concern I have for Lightroom is that for Lightroom on the desktop computer, you need a membership/account. However, for mobile you do not need an account. In which case, not having an account could be a benefit to users but a deficit to Photoshop.
I run a small photography business as a side hustle, and Lightroom allows me to become more creative and explore different photo editing avenues.
The cloning features easily remove blemishes, wrinkles to improve the quality of any photo. The Slider-Based Controls are pretty awesome and easy to use. Lightroom less disk space compared to Photoshop.
So far I haven't found any dislikes really. It is just another photo editing software that I enjoy using. I don't like having photoshop be the only go to program for photos.
The software helps deliver high quality photos that display vibrant colors for our delivery of emails, website designs and collateral/printed material.
My absolute favorite thing about Lightroom are the presets! If you edit a lot of the same kinds of images (photos taken in a lightbox, for example, where the lighting and composition are all the same) presets are a godsend. I can blast through editing dozens of product photos in a very short amount of time by simply using presets I have created and then just doing a couple of little tweaks.
Nothing. I LOVE Lightroom. It does exactly what I need it to and it forms the basis of all my photo editing.
Lightroom has cut down on my workload dramatically. It has also helped me organize my photos really well and, as long as I am diligent about tagging, I can find anything I'm looking for quickly and easily. Also, those tags upload along with the photos, making my life a lot simpler!
I just love everything about Lightroom. I used daily to check, edit and share the photos that are a part of how I'm as a person. So many features, so many ways to improve, to be a better photographer. I fell for this since day one and is a MUST have for everyone that loves taking photos. You can even select automatic filters if your feeling lazy, but must know that this a is a killer way to take your photo work up to the next level. Since I started using this software my work changed so much, it got so much better, so good looking. I LOVE this. Please, take the advice and download this, you will not regret it. So easy to use, to understand, to work on your projects and to share them. It can be a little difficult at the beginning with so many tools, but once you get use to them, the sky is the limits for your pictures and work.
Nothing to dislike about this one. I enjoy so much using this that I have tell all of my friends that work with photography, professionally or just individual, to get this software. Like I said before, It can be a little harsh to understand when we start (happened to me) but there are so many tutorials out there that now everything just changed the right way,
My own personal brand. This helped me extend the knowledge that I previously had about photography and took me to another level, helping my social media grow up like I never imagine before. The work I handle here even helped me get new jobs.
Straightforward interface that is easy for anyone to learn, unlike other Adobe products (i.e. InDesign, Premiere, etc.).
Lack of customizable interface. Though straightforward and easy to use, I wish I could adapt the interface to my personal workflow style.
I'm a photographer, so I need a great editing software and Lightroom does it for me. It's quick, simple, and powerful.
Photo editing is super easy in Lightroom, and you come out with professional results.
It can take a little bit of a learning curve to get used to, so have patience. The results are worth it.
None that I can think of.
I use this program to edit large numbers of RAW photos from events. I prefer Lightroom because of how many options it gives you for bringing forward each individual element of a RAW photo. I can make a photo look incredibly clean or entirely artsy. I can even do the same thing to two different photos. No matter what my goals are for a set of photos, Lightroom has had me covered.
Digging through the RAW files can be a bit daunting before editing, but this may have more to do with my compact flash drive than the software.
In my business, my photographs must be absolutely breathtaking because of the amount of competition. Lightroom helps me to achieve this.
The best part of using Adobe Lightroom for me is that I can speed up the editing process when I have high volume of photos to edit. Instead of opening each photo in Photoshop, crop the image, edit the light and save every picture, I find it very easy to work with all the pictures in Lightroom if I have to edit multiple images. Before I started to use Adobe Lightroom, I spent roughly 3 hours to edit about 100 pictures but now I can do everything in close to 30 minutes which for me is amazing.
The only problem I see with working on multiple images in the same time, is that you may not spend enough time and pay attention to every single photo like you are doing by opening the pictures individually. Although, if you take your time and edit every picture the best you can, you can easily achieve great results, similar to editing the pictures in Photoshop.
First of all, Adobe Lightroom saves me a lot of time which translates to money. Does not matter if you are a business or you just like to make lots of pictures, this tool will save you a lot of hours.
I absolutely love Lightroom, it's so easy to go through hundreds of photos (such as from a wedding or event), create Presets for that event and apply to multiple photos (saving so much time!), and do edits (with some advanced edits available - such as specifically changing the saturation/hue of specific colors). It is wonderful for basic editing such as altering White Balance, Exposure, Highlights/Shadows, and Cropping. I can then immediately edit that photo in Photoshop with the click of a button in Lightroom (such as if I need to remove something in the photo).
I don't like that I'm not able to clone stamp in Lightroom, but I understand why this is the case.
I'm able to quickly make beautiful photographs for my client while staying organized and saving time.
I love that I can upload folders, plugins, and general breakdowns of how I want to edit my photography. Then I can one click batch process said folders of photos and review in real time before exporting into the correct format needed for the next step in post, This is an extremely useful tool. Plus you can download and set other presets from other artists to push your limits and expand your creative ability quickly and easily. You can also easily pass work down without much confusion on where the last person left off or where you need to begin and complete a project!
There isn't much to list that I don't like about the software. It would be nice to have the opportunity to purchase a base platform without having to pay for the monthly subscription. The ability to easily plug into your folders and hold onto this information is invaluable but it would be nice if the software was intuitive enough to realize there are folders it has once worked with in the past maybe?
When we participate in event coverage its usually daunting once back in the studio. To organize everything and get it to a working point was a struggle. Lightroom has been completely streamlined this workflow and it is no longer painful to edit anything after the fact.
It brings all the best Photoshop tools into one neat, easy to use application. Helps produce sharper and more professional results.
Sometimes lacks the full power of Photoshop and the photo organiser could be made easier.
Producing fully edited and professionally finished photographs for website and printing.
Excellent for editing photos and keeping them consistent
No ting so far, everything works great for what I need
Creating a cohesive look
I absolutely love the capacities of what this software can do! It provides subtle retouching (or drastic) without compromising the quality of your photos (if you shoot in RAW especially). I also love its ability to adjust your lens' distortion. Plus, presets can elevate your photos even further from third-party vendors.
I dislike how long it can take to load photos into your library or render a given image, but that is more on my end due to processing speeds on my computer. For how complex it is, it's understandable that you will need a fast processor to make your workflow consistent. Otherwise, I don't have any complaints about it.
Lightroom makes photo editing quick, easy, and painless. It is easy to adopt a workflow, create your own presets, and fine-tune any given aspect of the photo you're editing. It takes the complexity of Photoshop and takes features such as blemish removal, red-eye removal, cropping, and angle adjusting in an easy, intuitive panel.
I love that I can easily adjust and edit the colouring of photos without too much technical effort.
I don't like how difficult it is to save photos.
I found that I am able to look all my photography much more appealing on social media
I like the versatility of this program and how well it can process many images at once
I wish there was more you could do with camera raw with this program
Fast and easy processing and uploading to websites
I like how easy it is to edit a single photo, then apply those edits to a series. I also love how easy it is to do spot removal. It’s magic how it can blend the area so you have no clue. I also enjoy the fact that they have an iPad app that syncs through the cloud so I can for on any device without need of transfuring the photos from device to device.
I dislike how different some of the workflows are between applications, but it is gettting better.
I do a lot of product photography and Lightroom allows me to edit a series of photos in a blink.
