"Quick and efficient for high quality images"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

Lightroom is very intuitive and easy to learn. You don't have to be an experienced photographer or editor to learn the ropes, and the quality of images is unmatched by other quick-editing software. Having the ability to quickly adjust and edit photos in bulk or export raw images to jpg files are some of the most convenient features of this product.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I'm not sure if there's a way to apply custom adjustments to multiple photos at once without using one of the packaged presets, but that would be super convenient!

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

As a small nonprofit, we do not have in-house graphic designers or photographers. Lightroom enables us to quickly edit our photos for a fast turnaround with great results, and we look like pros doing it!

"Lightroom"
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

"Fantastic Photo Editor"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I love that you have so many options to use for editing your photos. It is super user-friendly. Easy to learn and love that you can do all of them at once. You can also copy and paste the same filter you want to use on several if not on all of them.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I wish that you didn't have to buy so many filters. It would be nice if you could buy a package and get several. When you are going through filters, I wish it didn't go back up to the top of them so you lose where you were.

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

I use this when editing the photos I take for the office and my other side marketing jobs and photography business. When I have a big editing job its nice to be able to do them all at once and make little tweaks if needed.

"Cross application use"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I am a high-end Adobe user, and Photoshop Lightroom is unique because it works in conjunction with all other Adobe programs; this prevents downtime while in the middle of projects, which is amazing.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The only actual downside that I have encountered with Lightroom is that it is not very user-friendly for beginners. I have a lot of Adobe experience, but some of my coworkers are not as computer literate, so if Lightroom could include a thorough training tutorial and make the interface a little bit more transparent, I think that it would help newbies.

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

Our company uses maps and specs, in the digital format, a lot; therefore, Lightroom helps us download, share, comment, and edit between superintendents and supervisors so that we keep everyone on the project up-to-date with the latest visuals and information.

"The beauty of photo editing"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

It's the ultimate place to edit your photos and not only add filters but also a great tool to make color corrections, reduce noise and get the most of the pictures you take. It also has the option for 3rd party filters that you can easily add from famous photographers.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

The only problem I've seen during my long tenure as a Lightroom user was with Mac OS updates. Before Catalina, there was a version that usually had bugs and crashed. They finally fixed it, and I haven't seen any other problem since then.

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

I've done freelancing photography and personal projects with Lightroom, not much work or profitable tasks. It's a very professional tool, and I haven't been able to find anything better.

"Simply beautiful"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

Lightroom has a good array of nondestructive presets that make for quick work of proofing as you go, which in the field is invaluable. I also love the naturalness of how Lightroom processes colors.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

My only real complaint is Lightroom does take a little more time to learn than other apps, but overall that little extra time I feel is worth the time.

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

You can test, proof, and submit proofs in the field before committing time to a full lighting setup saving time and money

"So many options to edit pictures!"

What I like most about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is that I am able to edit pictures in so many different ways. Lightroom gives me the ability to not only edit pictures but also learn about new techniques to edit.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

What I do not like about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom as much is that it may be more confusing for beginners. But Lightroom has different categories for beginners to start learning.

I am able to edit pictures using Lightroom in many different ways. I can remove people, edit the background, blur, unblur, remove items, etc, to create the perfect pictures.
