"Great photo software!"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

Mobile app integration is a must - this program offers connected mobile apps. In the days of social media, facial detection and tagging is everything - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has this too!

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

A subscription is needed, which can get expensive for the average person. Initial raw conversion is inferior to other products in the market

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

Finding an effective photo editing software

"Most advanced for picture correction"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I like that it has got all the tools needed for correcting a photo with filters, and more. Always got what I need in terms of filters

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I would be happy if there were added more tools besides filters and color correction, like if I want to correct a person or something in the background as well. Or add another photo or such.

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

Usually something concerning colors, vibrance, coldness/warmness of the photo, whites/shadows, I really like that you can bring out one specific color more

"Edit your photos like a pro, without being a professional"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love this application, its preset editing functions are very useful when you are not an editing professional, the possibility of having your exclusive cloud for edited photos with a large capacity, being able to use the application both on the pc and on the phone or on the tablet, keeping the changes and adjustments made in real time, which makes it very versatile, since you can do the work on the computer and then share through your networks with the phone. My photographs look super professional since I started using this application.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

In general, Adobe applications have always been great, I use several of them, perhaps a negative point could be its cost which could be an impediment to its use, even so it is worth paying for the quality and functionality it offers. In any case, besides that, there is little that I don't like about the application, since it is easy to use and very useful.

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

I use the application to edit from my personal photos, to photos that I use for some work activities, or in my presentations for classes. Before uploading them I always make editing touches, which makes my work and the photos on my social networks always look professional. For non-editing professionals, it is an excellent application, as it provides practical and easy-to-use tools to edit photos like a professional.

"I discovered this WAY too late in my photo editing life!"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I had no idea lightroom existed until in the recent years of my career and I am so happy I found it, but wish I discovered it earlier! I love that I can edit a lot of photos very efficiently. I also love that I can copy and paste edit settings and paste quickly across multiple images.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I wish you could do "touch-ups" like in photoshop for quick edits, like logo removal, pimple cover -up, etc. - maybe you can and I just haven't discovered it yet.

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

Solves the problem of my limited time to edit photos. It allows me to edit photos so quickly and efficiently. This benefit is worth so much to me as I never have enough time in the day!

"The only program I will ever use for batch photo editing"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

You can copy and paste settings across photos You can easily export in multiple presets

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I wouldn't mind a 'Content Fill' option, but I can make do most of the time with the clone spot tool. If needs be, I will take the image into Photoshop.

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

I solve all my batch photo editing needs.

"Adobe for all"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

As a beginner in photography editing industry I needed a program to suit my needs. I needed a program which i could run from my mobile Phone, laptop and desktop. I found out about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom through some amazing artists who were using it for some time. I discovered how complex, yet easy to follow the tutorials are, how many great effect this program has. And everything was so easy to learn. And oh, the magnifying option is the best. What a clarity!

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Like other great programs, unfortunately it takes much of the phone's, computer's memory.

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

I love taking pictures of people from far without noticing. Studying their reactions, behavior. With Lightroom, i was able to get clear close captions of them, unlikely to other programs which pixelate the photos

"The best application to make you pictures look better post capturing"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

The interface and the platform helps you to edits your pictures so easily and efficiently. From minor fixes like contrast and brightness to adjusting the sharpness and using creative tools. It is easy to create presets to save time and duplication. I am able to batch process images and convert my RAW images into JPEG. The option of it being used based on cloud storage and we can readily use it on any desktop/laptop is an add on feature which I love the most. It helped me process hundreds of pictures and can also be used to batch process multiple pictures with similar settings

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Advance editing functions and tools like Photoshop are excluded. Minor editing fixes can be done extremely quick but heavy image editing is a bit challenging.

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

As a part time photographer, I cover a lot of sporting events during my weekends. Most of the time capturing action of athletes is a bit challenging and to maintain quality, I have to shoot images in RAW format which cannot be edited easily or even converted in any other software as easily as with Lightroom. It saves me a lot of time and effort and makes photo editing an exiting task after the photo shoots.
