Adobe Lightroom Reviews & Product Details

Adobe maximized the ease and integration of Lightroom into Photoshop, especially when it comes to RAW files, allowing the versatility of the product to mesh with the more popular software.

Depending on your hardware, importing files can still be slightly slower than desired.

As soon as I open a RAW file, I can get right into editing. I don't have to worry about integration over competing software--I can do it all with the Creative Network Adobe has put together. For me, it's all streamlined quite well.

Photoshop Lightroom is highly efficient and quality

The program can be hard to learn at first. And is sometimes a little confusing.

Easy access to files currently being worked on, easy conversion to other formats. Once a work flow is learned the program helps me accomplish my job very quickly.

Its very intuitive, expressive. Built in features like automatically gives you full screen previews on external monitor

Exporting is a bit of a crazy user flow. It seems to be the weakest link.

Quickly make images look pro, polished

I like how easy Lightroom is to use to edit photos. It is very intuitive software.

I dislike the way you have to import photos that are deep in a folder file on a network drive. It can be cumbersome.

Photoshop Lightroom allows us to quickly edit photos that are taken by employees on any device and create better quality photos.

The best feature is that you can have two photos side by side while editing. It allows you to see your work.

It can be a little confusing trying to save your new files.

Lightroom helps you batch edit saving you a lot of time.

Though mobile photo apps provide convenient on-demand photo editing, the desktop Adobe Lightroom program is a favorite desktop system among photographers. Lightroom's customer friendly layout -- and streamlined editing options prove to be easy to learn and implement.

Lightroom can be overwhelming for people who do not understand what all the editing options do. For people who simply want to increase saturation or crop images -- this is not the program. Lightroom's editing options can become complex, when you start to explore what is available on the platform.

Photoshop Lightroom proves to be a solution for lackluster images. The most recent job that I used Lightroom for, required that I provide higher quality images with sharper colors and brand sensible tones. Overall images used for the job's tasks (brand revamping and social media content creation) were streamlined to reflect brand properly.

I love using Lightroom to process a large amount of raw files at once.

I wish lightroom had a little more features

We use Lightroom to print bulk posters

Its easy to make presents and mass edit a large amount of photos.

They are trying to force the cloud based lightroom when many prefer using the desktop version

Uniform editing, consisent look of brands in pictures

Ease of use. It can organize your photos into one large, searchable catalog, and offers a wide range of image adjustments, enhancements and one-click presets. Photoshop is perfect for in-depth image manipulation, but is also set up for artists, illustrators and designers.

used to not like the subscription. but thankfully that has changed.

editing images to have a final image for catalogs

I like this for final touches on photo edits. I do initial editing in photoshop, but I use Lightroom to give images those final few touches.

I don't particularly dislike anything, though I do with it had more versatility with editing.

I'm able to create better quality images for promotion, using this product.

It is easy to mass edit a ton of photos and synchronize settings such as tone, color, contrast, color balance, and watermark photos. It saves so much more time than photoshop and performs better when it comes to fine tuning photos.

Requires a lot of screen size to use effectively, it may be harder to use if on a laptop. Different tabs and steps for processing may be confusing at first.

I have done mass photo editing and saved myself hours of time. It has also saved me time in quickly seeing which photos are salvageable and which ones are too blurry/off focus.

This software brings in life to the photographs. with so many diverse editing and enhancement options.

The software is not free ware and you need a licensed version to have full access to all tools

lightroom is of best use for bloggers and professional photographers as well as graphic designers.

I can easily apply the same editing, ie brightness, contrast and any editing that I do, to multiple images in a click. Very basic, I can blur certain parts by just easily selecting them, which is my favorite tool! Gives it a very natural edit.

That the edit can not be dragged to any other Adobe software.

Helps in editing images very naturally. I can also add logo to all my images in one click.

Lightroom makes it easy to edit and improve a large amount of photos. There are also a wide variety of features that are easy to use. While photoshop really shines with layers and manipulation, Lightroom is great for organizing storing and sharing photos.

The cost is a little on the higher side and sometimes uploading can take a long time.

I recently took portraits of all everyone in the company, Lightroom made is easy to upload and organize all the photos. It was easy to apply a desired filter on the photographs. The batch processing definitely saved me a lot of time editing.

Lightroom brings the brilliance of adobe photoshop into a simple streamline program. It offers many features to make photo editing and management so much easier. The lightroom helps you sort, tag and rate photos you've added with ease and even upload them to most social websites straight from the program. An over all great photo editing program, that brings the best editing features of photoshop into a stripped down, easy to use application.

It goes very well with photoshop for complicated editing but lacks the features themselves. Sometimes organising the catalogue can be complicated, especially for new imports etc. and is something you will want to keep on top of or you'll get very confused.

Lightroom saves us a lot of time, which helps to do the work faster and take on new work quicker. It creates professional finishes every time and manages to recover a lot of photos that you would immediately think were rejects.

I like how it organizes all of my photos and allows extensive organization (collections, smart collections, etc.).

I HATE how I can't export multiple files from the develop or library window to a wider variety of color profiles. I work at a newspaper, and I want to be able to export to a better color space that isn't sRGB. But in order to export to the right color space, I have to go to the print window and export each image one-by-one. It's a total waste of time, so I just send them in sRGB with less saturation... which is NOT a good fix. Also, Lightroom shouldn't be a CC program. There isn't enough to it that people actually use.

I can quickly pull together multiple photos for packages and so forth.

-easy to use interface -an ability to organize images into collections, assign keywords, and create folders -editing tools that are sufficient for most simple photo correction needs -map feature if your photos are GPS tagged -variety of file format options for web and print -ability to create books and slideshows

-importing large amount of images can be slow and sometimes the application crashes -can be tricky to learn all the tools in the beginning, but video tutorials and support are readily available -not as many advanced retouching options as actual photoediting software such as Photoshop -best suited for photos as opposed to other image types

I have been using Lightroom for years to organize our photo and image collections and do most of the editing (using Photoshop for advanced editing only)

Lightroom is an easier solution for simple photo editing in comparison to photoshop. Great way to upload, organize and store photos.

Sometimes importing images from camera SD card can lag or take several times to prompt it.

I use lightroom to organize and store photos. Creates an easy way to search photos

You can easily import photos from your memory card and have them stored within Lightroom. You can easily make edits and corrections to one photo or multiple photos at one time. Photos also can be easily imported into Photoshop for more invasive editing.

Improvements to the UI on the left column on the Catalog/Folders/Collections - it's very stark. Doing more corrections to photos that aren't shot in raw.

File Saving and Organization - we have used Lightroom to easily store our collections of photoshoots in an organized manner. Time Saving - we are able to make multiple corrections at once instead of editing each photo in Photoshop (very time consuming).

Adobe photoshop is a fairly simple application, user friendly, easy to access and light, it can be used in any PC

You may lack some tools to make the job easier, even though it is quite complete

I have modified images for clients
