Lightroom photos can sync up and share directly to your Adobe Portfolio where you can build a photography website in minutes. The UI is icon heavy and easy to grasp, the tiling of photos makes it much simpler to work on multiple images at a time, and the toolset doesn’t overwhelm the average user like Photoshop can. It does so with ease and Lightroom always retains the original photo. You can’t do invasive surgery on photos with Lightroom like you can Photoshop, but it’s meant to serve a much different purpose at a higher altitude. Lightroom is like the workshop for your photography hobby: spread your photos out on the table, organize them into albums, apply star ratings for favorites or flag them for acceptance/rejection, and apply light touches and corrections at scale. A relative newcomer to the Adobe suite of products, Lightroom focuses on the breadth part of the photo manipulation equation where the venerable Photoshop has eyes on depth.
Whether you’re a wedding photographer or an Instagram power user, anyone that cares to manage and brush up hundreds of photos ought to give Adobe Lightroom a whirl.
