"Amazing Program = Easy to Use, Understand and not complicated for the power behind it"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

Love that I was able to use it at first open with basic tools but still have not untapped what's possible in here. Lot's to learn - super great for beginners as well as advanced users.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I dislike that import/export isn't more seamless. Sometimes I can only import IF it also copies to another location when i just want to make a quick edit on the original source. This is particularly annoying because it causes me to have load of photo data in places I didn't intend.

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

Quick photo retouching when we don't have a professional retoucher. Able to get looks for photos quickly and really streamlined process mostly the way through.

"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.

"Adobe Photoshop Lightroom review."
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom gives us a set of tools to upskill our photography to a next level. It provides a platform to edit your raw images and create a no of beautiful photographs with their templates and presets. The exposure & white balance features helps a lot while editing raw clicked photos.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Well, i did not find any downsides of the software.

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

For our institute we have to click pictures of various events and upload them on our social media accounts, so the biggest problem of editing with the software and converting them into fabulous photos has been solved by Adobe Photoshop lightroom.

"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
