"I love using Lightroom!"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

It makes it easy to edit and organize photos. Typically, when I have a bunch to go through, it makes it easier to edit hundreds of photos before going to Photoshop and finishing up the final touches needed.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I dislike that sometimes when I upload photos, it may take a little while to load and to edit which photos and videos I dont want to upload to a specific folder. When I accidentally upload a video, it stays there with no way to edit it.

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

When I have to do a fast turnaround time on uploading edits, it makes it easy to edit from my laptop and on the go with my phone.

"Really great for touching up photos and enhancing my brand."
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I really love the preset options, as well as the user interface. As someone who's proficient in Photoshop, transitioning to Lightroom was a breeze and a half.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I really don't like the subscription based service. I miss when you could just buy programs outright.

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

We often take in headshots for branding videos, and want to make them look as professional and clean as possible, to help with their collateral creation. It always impresses the client when we run things through lightroom.

"Best photo editing application"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

The application provides various features for editing photos and helps the user to do new projects. Adobe creative cloud contains multiple applications such as Photoshop, illustrator, Indesign etc. All these products give the best tools to users to edit images or create projects. The integration of Adobe software with other Adobe software is excellent.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The premium subscription should be taken if you work in an organization; however, it is free for students. The application is difficult to understand for new users because it contains many tools. For using illustrator applications, we should have powerful laptops or a desktop.

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

Making new projects with precision and accurate design helps in editing the product's images. Lightroom also contains tools for video editing as well as a photo. The rendered or final image can be sent by pdfs to other people.

The features embedded in it and the ease of use especially in an ipad where with th pencil the color correction becomes very smooth, almost like a butter, pretty impressive

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The one thing that I dislike about lightroom is that its's new feature of remixing other's photos , its process cannot be saved as a final photo which is a big downer for me

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

Anytime I want my photos to have a specific look, I use lightroom to achieve that on my ipad, people keep on asking me how I edited this one look and also many ppl from across the world follow me on lightroom since I share those photos for public to remix

"Best one to edit"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

A range of presets and filters are available in the program that may be used to quickly and simply improve a picture. Working with RAW picture files, which gives you more control over the editing process, is another fantastic feature.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The fact that Adobe Photoshop Lightroom may be fairly pricey is one possible drawback. To function properly, the program requires a powerful machine.

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

We may enhance the appearance of your photographs with the help of the numerous options Lightroom offers for modifying colour and tone. It transforms photographs with bad lighting, grain, or anything else into something Incredible.

"Best Colour Grading Software"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

The things I like about it are that it is the best color grading software available to date; not only is it capable of color grading raw Pictures but also raw videos, and the best thing about it is that It is easy to use and can be used by any users

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The thing that I disliked about it is that they could add more presets for video color grading. Not many presets are available for video color grading, although you can always choose your own color grading combinations, tone curves and all

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

It solves a lot of problems, now a days one can easily color grade their videos and photos using Adobe photoshop lightroom and moreover it is so easy to use and execute a non professional user can also use it flawlessly hence it is the best color grading software

"Photo editing made simple!"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

Lightroom is an incredibly easy way to make your photographs more professional.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

There's really not that much to dislike - there could be more features, but if you really need them you should probably upgrade to Photoshop.

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

I took many photos for reports, but had no easy way to perform simple tasks like rotation and color correction. Lightroom enabled me to do these things and elevate the quality of my work.

"The best way to edit your pictures"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the best for editing images. Here we have so many tools for filtering images. You can import various photos simultaneously; afterwards, we can apply many edits for the best results.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Here, so many features in free versions are good, but many fantastic themes, tools, and filters are in premium versions; that's why it's sometimes expensive. Software is quite complex for beginners.

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

With the help of this, we can perfectly edit pictures, filter, organise and share their digital photos. It permits picture takers to rapidly and effectively photograph regardless of their ability.

"Lightroom is Thrilling"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

This non destructive editing software helps to keep the original images separate from the edit filters . It also helps to add , remove and alter the images and also helps to render texts or 3 D images.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The version needs to be improved and it should also allow to access / browse the import and export data easily. Color balance and some of the filters needs to be improvised a bit to make it work more efficiently

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

It helps to edit and improve the picture quality in more better way. It improves the photographs by changing quality, improving the tone m sharpening, reducing noise , cropping and also converting the images into black and white.

"Adobe Lightroom - The easiest way to edit your photos like a pro!"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love how easy and intuitive it is to use this software; you can learn how to use certain -a little more complex- tools with just one quick tutorial. You can choose from the presets recommended for your photo; they usually look great. I also love that it is not only a desktop app, but there's a mobile version ad well and it's really easy to use!

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I'm not a fan of how the photo library is displayed because I find it a little confusing and I've made the mistake of importing the same photos twice or having unnecessary albums.

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

To me, the best and most practical thing about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is its mobile app, because you can edit photos from your phone and get professional-looking results without the effort.
