software developed by Adobe systems for photographers It is an excellent tool to manipulate and organize images Lightroom CC is an easy to use software that lets you import, manage, edit, and share digital photographs quickly and effectively Here are some reasons to use Lightroom: Specially built for photographers: Photoshop has many features rendering, features, you but there are some don’t vector need, graphics, such as 3D video tools, and so on These extra features more disk and memory space mean Lighter processing: Lightroom works fineon a lower end machine or laptop However, it will run better on a faster computer Excellent image management: The import feature in Lightroom can make duplicates of your images — one for the catalog and another as backup, even when you are working with different image formats Applying metadata and keywords to your images on import is simple and even you can apply processing presets as well Excellent searching and organization: The Lightroom catalog is a database file, so it is easy to find your images using keywords, or metadata such as ISO, camera type, and so on It also lets you to create collections making it easier to group similar images together This smart collection will automatically add pictures to the collection based on the criterias like metadata or keywords Logical workflow: Lightroom has a modular organization—Library, Develop, Slideshow, Web, and Print are the seven modules in Lightroom You can only see the features that make sense for that particular module, which makes Lightroom easy and quick to learn and faster in performance Compatibility and conversion: It uses the same RAW processing routines as used in Adobe camera Raw, it means most digital cameras are supported, and the conversion options provided have been through a good number of improvement Non-destructive workflow: None of the edit doneinLightroomwillpermanentlymodify the original image Regardless of the file type, all editing done in the Lightroom is ES non-destructive The changes done are either stored in an external XMP file, or in the Lightroom catalog file as the list of modifications You can anytime adjust or undo those modifications Virtual copies: Instead of creating a makes it duplicate of a file for creating a different version, Lightroom uses virtual copies, which are a list of adjustment instructions and a thumbnail image reducing the disk space Compare images: Lightroom simple and easy to view similar images side-by-side for making selections or even you can view the same image in a side-by-side mode for evaluating your adjustments The most useful feature of the compare view is the ability to pick or select the better of similar images when doing a review of all the imported images Presets: Lightroom has presets, a feature which is absent in Photoshop They can make spine go and can be easily modified as required You can also change presets by the type of adjustment such as black and white presets, portraits, and raw pre- processing Along with adjustment presets, you can also create print layout and output presets, which is truly a flexible tool Process RAW files: Lightroom uses the same Adobe camera raw engine found in bridge and Photoshop, only with a better interface and a much better design You can quickly adjust important settings such as contrast, saturation, and exposure You can also perform noise reduction, sharpening, add vignettes, split, crop, toning, apply creative burning, and dodging effects with adjustment brush System Requirements Intel® or AMD
