"A great way to see all your pictures and make changes at once!"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

I like being able to view all pictures from a single campaign at once without having to wait long for pictures to load. You can quickly scan through your images, mark your favorites, and even change colors across the board all in one place.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

My least favorite function of it actually has to do more with the Adobe Suite than just Lightroom. There are times when I've downloaded Photoshop or Photoshop Express and Lightroom, Lightroom will default to open up before Photoshop. Honestly, when I'm not trying to bulk edit, I'm preferring to use Photoshop instead.

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

The biggest issue that is solved, as I've said before, is during campaign edits. When you are trying to quickly go through your campaigns or make coloring changes to a full campaign so that everything has a cohesive feel, that's when Lightroom shines!

"Adobe never miss."
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

This product is amazing for editing photos. Adobe has done a great job in complementing their programs to work in tandem with each other. Lightroom works well while using Photoshop and it shows what you could do when you use Adobe products.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I hate how Adobe refuses it's user to use a specific program. They want you to get all of adobe creative cloud which is great and the best bang for your buck. But for the average person lightroom might be enough.

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

Adobe photoshop is solving a lot of issues when it comes to editing photos. It allows us to create and to tell a story. When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, lightroom is the publisher.

"Make photos beautiful"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

Lightroom has changed my photos for the better. I am highly impressed with the AI and just how good hitting "auto" does to my photos. Sometimes that is all you need to make your photos do better. With the new smart features released recently where you can remove objects like in photoshop, this software is Amazing. The price for the single app is well worth it for anyone serious about taking great photos to share online.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I can't think of anything I do not like. The software is reliable and does exactly what I ask of it.

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

It turns photos that have poor light, grainy or anything else and turns them into something Amazing. It opens fast and even has a mobile app that helps you edit on the go.

"Effective and great toool for photo editing"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

The number of options for photo editing in a sense the way we can change the look of a raw image is above everything the color grading is a great tool to use and the possibility of changing the way a processed image look is very useful.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

There isn't much to dislike but the image import library is a little complicated a much more friendly way to import and organize the imported images can be made useful to many people.

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

The Li helps in changing the way an image looks something as a human being we cannot control the surrounding and the image may not be the way we expected it to be like the exposure color grading may be off but with Li it can all be solved

"All my pictures go through it"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

It has something for every experience level and you don't need any to start using it. You could just import your pictures and Auto Tone them or apply one of the presets. Or you can take your time and work on your image with the brush. I crop the images, adjust the temperature, the exposure, the presence and reduce noise. Sometimes spot removal. Don't do much more because I try to make my photography as artistic as possible and that means as few editions as possible. Adjusting anything and looking at the results in real-time is very helpful. I like the options to organize my pictures, work on them and save my changes. The export options are also very comprehensive, I usually export for social media or printing. There are adjustments for both kinds.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

I haven't found something I dislike. It would be cool if exports didn't take so long. More presets would probably attract more users. Second screen controls are a bit clunky.

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

I take pictures while I travel and sometimes you have to do it in a hurry because people are waiting for you. You can't take your sweet time setting up the picture or the conditions might not be the best. Lightroom helps achieve your vision of the picture or get very close to it.

"An essential part of my content creation workflow"
What do you like best about Adobe Lightroom?

Simple to understand features. Easy to work across platforms. The ability to start work on my phone and then move seemlessly to my Mac OS is essential for my work day.

What do you dislike about Adobe Lightroom?

Photo organization has some differences that make it easier for me to rely on my native photo organization on my phone or computer as sometimes I am not able to import consistently. Occasionally pictures that have been imported don't show up - however it may be because I am not familiar with the folder it is saving in.

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

I primarily use Light Room for color correction and light balance. I also batch edit by creating custom presets to apply to a collection of photos. Ease of use between devices cuts down a lot of my physical important/export time.
