Adobe Lightroom
Photo Editor
Adobe Lightroom gives you photo editing and library management in one app, suited to photographers who want to refine images and continue working across desktop, mobile, and web.
by Adobe Inc.
What you get
You get cleaner photos and a searchable library that travels with you.
You can correct dim exposures, recover detail in highlights, and adjust colors to get the look you want. For more targeted changes, you can isolate a subject or part of an image, reduce noise, and remove distracting objects. Presets let you reuse a look instead of rebuilding your adjustments each time.
You also get a way to find and access your photos without manually tagging everything. You can keep images locally or in the cloud, with edits automatically carried across desktop, mobile, and web. When you're ready to share, you can publish an album online or post photos directly to social media.
For video clips, you can trim footage and apply familiar color adjustments and presets without switching tools. You'll need a qualifying Lightroom subscription; if you don't subscribe yet, you can try it free for seven days.
