What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love how easy it is to use. I always use Lightroom to make my photos pop before putting them on Linkedin or Instagram. It allows me to take professional looking pictures for cheap.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I don't like how they keep increasing their prices. Sometimes I will use the free week or so and then delete it just because of how expensive it is getting, if it were a little cheaper I would keep long term.

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

I am solving photoshopping from the Lightroom app. I have realized it makes my products more appealing and therefore makes my business more profitable. It is amazing.

"Most powerful yet easiest editing all I've used"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

The auto edit feature is just amazing for newbies to get the best pictures without having to put in a lot of efforts. I've been using light room for years and I'm very glad I started

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Many of the awesome features such as object removal, face adjustments etc are not available for the free users. This is very unfortunate and the subscription is pretty expensive for an editing app which you're only going to use once a while

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

Over exposed and dark images can be easily corrected for posting on instagram. A lot of pictures would've been a huge heartbreak If it weren't for Adobe light room

I use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to edit images, create effects on pictures, colour correct. It also allows me to host some on my pictures on cloud.
