I do love many features about lightroom, speeding up my workflow, consistent batch edits and once you learn the ropes, it's a breeze to use. > > **Cons**: LR just did a major overhaul to their masking and it has been a major upgrade to the previous masking tools. So far I absolutely love it and it is already saving me so many previous headaches in time with masking objects/subjects. I wish they would work on their heal too, it is clunky, slow, and should work more like content-aware in PS, but I'm sure it will eventually get there. :) Nothing that would keep me from using the software. > > I have been a long-time user of Adobe Products and you simply cannot use anything else if you're looking for professional editing software. I pay for the premium monthly pack of the entire adobe suite, all the software plays nice with each other integrating useful features between them all. I love the libraries in PS for editing on repeat clients with tools and styles. ----- ### "A detailed and experienced review of Adobe Lightroom." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *April 7, 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The filters are provided on presets and recommendations by lightroom are another level of experience. I have used lots of apps but the filters which I got on Lightroom were unique and beautiful. If you are a photo editing enthusiast then let me tell you there is no better option in the market. Before I used to edit photos related to my business and its services through other apps and all those photos were uploaded to our social media pages but the engagement was not that much after I started using the lighroom for my all social pages the engagement of customers are on some another level. that's why I love this app. > > **Cons**: I have noticed that sometimes this app lags and shut down by itself while working and sometimes it doesn't open only. There are lots of editing tools and filters which is good also but if someone who is new to the platform is using this app then he might get confused about what to use and what not to use. Although I have never felt its requirement but the premium plan of lightroom is very costly it about $9.99 us dollars per month. This is something which is felt was very High if someone needs to go for a premium plan then they may need to think again before buying. > > Due to lightroom, the engagement of customers on all our social media pages like Facebook, Instagram, Google Page etc has increased by more than 70%. Which is has a direct impact on our overall sales and revenue we have noticed that customers connect more to our business once they visit our pages which filled with the content of lightroom. ----- ### "O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN.." — 3.0/5 > **Nikhil** | *April 21, 2024* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most likely part of adobe lightroom its the whole light panels , i mean personally its the backbone for all of it , and also the grain effect it adds essence to the picture like a24 studios does to its movies and images. > > **Cons**: the least i like about adobe lightroom as it doesn't have presets themes and designs that should the creator should give , i know we can create our own presets but presets themes what i feel should be there for more ideas and variations. ----- ### "Perfect software for photo editing." — 4.0/5 > **Edwin** | *September 26, 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: First what I like about this software is its non destructive ability. It creates a copy of the edited image while keeping the original image intact. Compared to other alternatives the usability of this software is simple thus anyone can use it easily. It has an intuitive interface thus once the user open he or she knows what to do. Compared to related adobe packages, this software runs smoothly on a computer with lighter processing requirements. Lastly is on its pricing, if you intend to buy the whole package with photoshop it is fair compared to Lightroom itself. > > **Cons**: I really don't have much dislikes about this software since it has majority of features and also the quality of images produced are excellent only that it has limited editing options compared to other related alternatives. > > If you want to do photo editing this is the software to go since using this software is simple and it produces perfect images. Adding to that, it is also effective and efficient. ----- ### "Lightroom is a foundational component to my photography workflow" — 5.0/5 > **Chrissy** | *May 13, 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been using Lightroom for over ten years, first as a photographer, and now in my career in communications and marketing as well. The majority of how I use it is in my photography "side hustle" where I shoot portraits, weddings, and landscapes. The importing and file organization is excellent, and I love the rating system as well. > > **Cons**: The clone stamp tool leaves something to be desired- I wish it was more like the one one Photoshop. > > Lightroom makes my workflow so much easier as a photographer, and I can't imagine using or recommending another software to other photographers. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2057125/adobe-photoshop-lightroom?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2057125/adobe-photoshop-lightroom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
