Dietetic Intern, certified dietary manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great all-in-one software that meets my needs" April 28, 2022 5.0 Overall, I've been exceptionally pleased with Adobe Lightroom. It is by far my most used photo editing program. I appreciate that the developers reach out to users for feedback both the program as is and in future developments. Pros Lightroom mobile is the most effective and convenient mobile photo editing app that I've used. It has easy just-click modifications but also always for more detailed, custome edits if you know what you're doing. Developers have been active in requesting feedback for future enhancements. Love the ability to add 3rd party presets. Cons It can be difficult to learn adjustments beyond the basics without some training--but there are tutorials and more coming for those who want them. Most of the highest quality in app presets require a subscription. Review Source Lila S. Freelance Writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A photographer must-have" October 19, 2021 5.0 I've used Lightroom for over 6 years, and it's the best software for photo culling and editing as well as organization. Pros Easy to use. I like being able to work directly off of an external hard drive to edit large amounts of photos. More features I enjoy include the quick collection, copy/paste settings, and creation of user presets. Cons No complaints- maybe the large amount of storage the application takes up.

July 31, 2022 5.0 Depois que comecei a usar o Lightroom o meu trabalho, a minha arte mudou da água para o vinho! Pros Eu ficaria aqui a vida toda enumerando os pontos mais impactantes dessa ferramenta! TODO Fotógrafo DEVE ter essa ferramenta! Ela é MUITO importante no seu dia a dia! Cons Não tenho o que reclamar de nada! Tudo é maravilhoso! Reason for choosing Adobe Lightroom Simplesmente porque o Lightroom é o melhor e eu só uso o que é melhor para a minha vida! Review Source AM Angus M. Multimedia Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I don't use a photo for anything without putting it through Lightroom" October 21, 2022 4.0 The large majority of my photos are used in marketing, social media, internal presentations and training materials. Having my photos look the best they can is very important to my job, and Lightroom makes my work much better. From colors, to touch ups, Lightroom can make an okay photo look fantastic. Pros Lightroom can really up the quality and professionalism of your photos. Even if you just use the "auto" color correction, your images will pop a lot more. Very useful for advertisement, social media, family photos, etc. Cons Some of the tools can be a bit clunky to use. The spot healing tool is great when it works correctly, but it can take a few tries to get things just how you want them. Take your time, and if you get stuck, try looking up a tutorial on YouTube.

Marketing Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Adobe Lightroom è lo strumento principale per il ritocco fotografico" January 18, 2022 5.0 E' un programma fondamentale per la gestione delle foto, specialmente quelle in RAW che permette ai fotografi professionisti di modificare le proprie immagini ottenendo dei risultati notevoli. Pros Quando lo aprii la primissima volta rimasi un po' scioccato dall'enorme quantità di parametri che si possono variare per modificare le foto ma mi è bastato qualche giorno per rendermi conto che non è assolutamente difficile o impegnativo da utilizzare. Trovo enormemente positivo il poter copiare le impostazioni di modifica di una foto in quelle successive, così se ho a che fare con una serie di foto tutte uguale ne sistemo solamente una. Le modifiche sono tutte separate dalla foto in se' quindi eliminarle in un attimo anche in un secondo momento risulta una operazione immediata. Cons A parte il tempo inziale che è necessario per imparare a capire cosa fanno esattamente tutti i paramentri lo trovo intuitivo e facile da usare. Forse avrei preferito gestisse meglio l'archivio delle foto come struttura sul disco (non modicica le foto originarie ma solo i cambiamenti effettuati) Crea moltissimi files e non un singolo archivio più facile da esportare. Review Source HH Heather H. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lightroom is an excellent story for photographers" January 11, 2022 5.0 I love lightroom! Pros It is my go to choice for editing. Being able to completely alter my image myself in one program, that includes skin texture and Lighting is important Cons Cost definitely. I will also continue to use this product no matter what Review Source AV Aman V. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Handy software dedicated for colour correction and editing you photos" October 13, 2022 5.0 Overall it is a professional software which can be used for many task related to photo editing. Pros I like the auto tool which makes changes best suitable for you photos accordingly. For an instance, if your photo has less exposure it will automatically fix it and enhance to colours accordingly. Cons I don't like the lagg sometimes while importing pictures, sometime i need to import picture twice otherwise it is not visible in the gallery of the app. Review Source PJ Piotr J. photographger Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best choice for photographer" May 31, 2022 5.0 Processing of photos in the amount of 2,500 per week. Creating printouts with prior preview of the paper type. Create photo books. Pros The ability to quickly process photos with the option of copying settings from one photo to another. The RAW loading of different camera brands is constantly updated. Product development and updates. Possibility of editing editing on the smartphone, changes updating on the computer. Operating on proxy files. Cons Inability to update to the latest version for windows 7 and no communication with the server, where it was previously possible. Review Source PB Pratyush B. User Interface Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Robust Photo Organizing and Editing Tool" May 22, 2023 5.0 Overall experience with Lightroom is good as it is feature rich. Pros Support almost all formats of photos and it is very easy to find and manage a large stock of photos with the help of its feature of tagging and labeling. Can easily integrate with other Adobe software. Cons It's very complex to learn, and quite expensive as other Adobe software. It's a good tool to edit a large number of photos but if you want to edit a single image photoshop is the better tool for it. Review Source CC Christopher C. IT & Projects Manager Maritime Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Missed opportunities" February 3, 2022 4.0 I started out with lightroom so it was my first photo management/editing platform it never worked the way I wanted to work, it is used all over the world by hundreds of thousands of people daily and for the most part, they are happy with it. The potential to be better is there and with the resources of Adobe they will eventually have a great product. Pros it's well integrated into the entire Adobe family Cons Very, very slow importing images and managing them Review Source AA Arlete A. Fotógrafa Photography Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Essencial para edição de imagens " July 15, 2023 5.0 De modo geral é um software essencial para a qualidade do meu trabalho. Prático, intuitivo e muito útil. Pros É um software bastante intuitivo e prático, com possibilidades interessantes para edição a qualidade na edição de imagens.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Content Manager Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Top-of-the-line photo editing software" February 14, 2024 5.0 My go-to software for photo editing. It provides all the settings I need, and the UI is straightforward. I've been truly satisfied since day one. Pros Lightroom offers me the chance to really bring the best out of my photos. I have liked it ever since I first tried it, and it only got better with time. I especially appreciate the options to use plug-ins, and to import presets. Cons The only potential downside I could point out is the price. Even though I understand that it costs a lot to run and develop such a piece of software, a more competitive price would enable more users to enjoy the benefits of this great software.

Electronic Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing tool for photographers, making it easy to edit and export bunch of photos at once" November 13, 2022 5.0 Lightroom is an amazing tool and I can only recommend it. One short tutorial and you are ready to edit your photos like a professional. Pros The feature "select subject" is a game changer, it makes my work so much easier. Cons While editing throught masking you are allowed to use only basic tools Review Source SC Shilton C. partner Food Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the best for Novice editors " February 3, 2024 5.0 I work for a small waste management company, and I recently convinced my company to invest in a DSLR. This is used for all my content gathering at work, however, the CyberLink software which came bundled with my camera package was just plain horrible. Upgrading to Lightroom was a lifesaver, the ease of use, and flexibility allow me to quickly edit, add watermarks and output photos. Pros Ease of use and more lightweight than Adobe Photoshop while maintaining most of the key features that beginner editors would require. Cons Subject detection does not always work as well as I would like Switched from [PowerDirector](https://www.capterra.com/p/188496/PowerDirector/) not enough features, lightroom is miles better Review Source VR Verified Reviewer legale Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ottimo programma per fotoritocco " March 9, 2023 5.0 Pros Il programma permette di tirare fuori il meglio dagli scatti realizzati. Ci sono tutti gli strumenti per la post produzione. Si possono apportare modifiche semplici, anche automatiche, oppure consente di post produrre in modo molto avanzato. Esiste anche la app per mobile e prevede la sincronizzazione con il software per desktop Cons Alcune funzioni possono essere complicate da comprendere o usare fino in fondo. Probabilmente si riesce a usare solo una parte delle effettive potenzialità del software. Il fatto che non sia più previsto il pagamento una tantum del software ma sia solo con abbonamento mensile o annuale Review Source ASS Alan Smyth S. Fotográfo Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fluxo de trabalho leve" March 3, 2022 5.0 Com tudo tão leve no modo geral, eu consigo entregar meu trabalho muito mais rápido. Ganho tempo e deixo meu cliente mais satisfeito ainda com a qualidade. Pros De poder fazer o tratamento das imagens sem precisar estar com elas fisicamente conectadas ao computador, gera uma leveza enorme no trabalho deixando tudo mais rápido. Integração com presets compartilhados entre arquivos ajuda muito. Cons Ferramenta remoção de manchas as vezes deixa o programa lento. Review Source Tiara H. Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A budget version of Photoshop" March 28, 2024 5.0 Pros Adobe Lightroom has a wide arrange of photo editing capabilities. It is a preliminary product without a premium price tag. If you mostly want to color correct, fix lighting, or airbrush a photo then this will have all of the tools you’ll need. Cons Unfortunately, it is limited when it comes to actual photo manipulation. If you are look to fully manipulate the photo then look to Photoshop instead. Review Source JJ James J. Graphic designer and photographer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lightroom Review " January 27, 2022 5.0 It's been awesome and it makes working with presets too easy to apply on your pictures Pros It has the before and after effect so am able to know the progress of work Cons Sometimes it keeps all the old pictures you have worked on and it interface is kind of plenty or packed Review Source jP jose P. administrative assistant Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "must-have for anyone working with images" April 23, 2023 5.0 The software also allows for integration with other Adobe products, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, for even more advanced editing capabilities.

I've been using this software as a photographer for years, and it makes editing weddings so much more efficient! Cons There are a few bugs/lags in my version of Lightroom (Adobe Lightroom Classic CC)- rendering photos can sometimes take a while when you first load the photos. For some reason, my Lightroom always seems to crash lately whenever I import photos as well. Review Source Similar Products Featured
