What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

AI tools have been very useful in offering quick template based analysis of editing photos and quick touchups. The user interface is incredibly easy to use and find quick tools for easily adjusting brightness/colour saturation/ hues, etc. The program's ability to make amateur level photographs look professional is a big highlight. I don't know any other program that is this refined in offering so much in a package that runs well on my computer and integrates well with other Adobe products.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

Price structuring can be hard to justified for independents like myself. Many of the current AI functions do not offer applicable suggestions for edits - For example, deep tinted and washed-out hue suggestions are not useful and so I end up doing manual edits myself.

"Easy, Clean Lightroom Editing That Speeds Up My Workflow Across Devices"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

I like Adobe Photoshop Lightroom because it’s easy to use and has a clean, simple interface. It helps me edit photos quickly with straightforward tools and presets. I can apply the same edits to multiple photos, which saves me a lot of time. I also like that I can edit on both my phone and my laptop, which is really helpful when I’m switching between devices. Overall, it makes my workflow faster and my results better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

One thing I dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is that it can feel slow at times, especially when I’m working with large files. The UI is generally simple and clean, but some tools aren’t easy to locate at first, so there’s a bit of a learning curve. It also requires a subscription, which can feel expensive for beginners. The AI tools are helpful overall, but they’re not always fully accurate, so I still end up doing manual edits to get the results I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive UI and AI Airbrushing That Saves Hours"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

There's a reason LR remains the #1 choice of the world's top graphics artists, photographers and designers. It's easy to use. Has intuitive UI.

And most importantly to me as a photographer, LR now offers smart AI capabilities to quickly airbrush out objects in the fore- or background without spending excessive time obsessing over the lasso tool.

This AI airbrushing feature alone has shaved almost 4 hours off my daily workload when I am working with 100s of photos to process.

The integration of LR with FrameIO is also wonderful.. it allows me to quickly upload photos to share with worldwide users.

LR is a large software footprint to have on your PC and requires a huge memory investment in SSD storage as well as plenty of RAM to run smoothly.

It performs well only if you have significant RAM resources to not affect the rest of your running apps.

Pricing is TBC as my company has an annual user license fee.

Support is brilliant with a ton of online tutorials and videos as well as quick support from the community forums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

Adobe LR can be complex to use for novices and those unfamiliar with photography processing platforms. There are many many features and this alone requires one to sit through a tutorial to harness its full capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Learn, Powerful Photo Editing That Fits My Editing Workflow"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

I like that it is easy to learn and use, but powerful, too. You can batch photos and sync adjustments, export/import into PhotoShop for more complex adjustments, and it helps you catalog your photos, too. The price is affordable and I don't think anything else can touch the way it integrates into my editing flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

I wish it had more actions and presets that we could use to edit photos. Also, it would be nice to be able to add text on the images. (not a watermark) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionized My Photography Workflow"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

I love Adobe Photoshop Lightroom as the central hub for my entire photography workflow, primarily for managing, culling, and editing large volumes of RAW images. Its non-destructive editing capabilities allow me to experiment freely with color grading, exposure adjustments, and advanced masking without ever damaging the original files. What truly sets it apart for my daily use is the efficiency of batch processing – being able to apply consistent presets across hundreds of photos from a single session saves me hours of tedious work. The seamless cloud synchronization allows me to transition effortlessly from organizing files on my desktop to fine-tuning details on my mobile devices while on the go. I appreciate how it makes professional photo editing easy, even for large batches of images. The interface is clean and user-friendly, and the editing tools for colors, lighting, and detail enhancement are very powerful. The preset feature is great because it helps maintain a consistent look across photos while saving a lot of editing time. The cloud sync and mobile access are another big advantage, allowing me to work on photos from anywhere without losing progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom works very well overall, but there are a few areas where the experience could be improved further. Sometimes the application can feel a bit resource-intensive when handling very large photo libraries or high-resolution files. Additionally, while the editing tools are powerful, some advanced features may take time for new users to fully understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

I use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to organize, edit, and enhance digital photos. I like that it allows me to manage and edit large volumes of photos efficiently. What I appreciate the most is how it combines powerful editing tools with a unique workflow. The workflow and editing are designed to work together, not as separate steps, which makes the process seamless. The initial setup was very easy, and that's a plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

It can feel limited for more advanced or detailed editing. I would like improved AI tools and more detailed editing options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Quality Photo Editing with Ease and"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

I like the free presets that Adobe Photoshop Lightroom provides for their users. These presets help us in editing photos automatically with AI-based tools. Whenever we import a photo or video, the platform recommends different types of presets available, which include filters and editing options according to our needs. We can simply select these presets and achieve the desired results with a completely readymade photo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

I've noticed that the mobile version has limited features available when compared to the Windows version of the same tool. I would recommend new users to go for the Windows version of adobe Photoshop Lightroom rather than working on its Android or iOS version because they are useless.

"Effortless Photo Editing with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

I use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for editing my photos and those of my clients. It saves me time and allows me to do complex work with ease. What I like most is the simplicity because it makes editing photos easy, without any problems, and produces high-quality work. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom complements Writer AI well; the two tools work together as I use Writer AI to craft blog posts and social media content and Adobe Photoshop to enhance the visuals accompanying my writing. The results Adobe delivers are high, and I don't currently have any complaints. I would recommend it repeatedly and would rate it a 10 because I love it. The initial setup was no challenge at all.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

The overall result is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pro-Level Control for Polished, Natural-Looking Photos"

It offers pro-level control without the usual complexity. Tweaking exposure, color, or detail feels accurate and intentional, but never overwhelming. My photos consistently come out polished and natural-looking, not over-edited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Too many features buried in menus, and the subscription cost is hard to justify for casual users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lightroom: The Photographer's Best Friend"
4/5
What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

What I like best is the non-destructive editing. I never have to worry about permanently ruining a photo, every adjustment is reversible, which gives me a lot of freedom to experiment.

But if I had to pick one standout feature, it's the batch editing. Being able to edit one photo and sync those adjustments across an entire shoot is a massive time-saver. It's a game-changer for anyone dealing with large volumes of photos.

The AI-powered masking tools are a close second — selecting a subject or sky automatically in seconds still blows my mind every time. Overall, it just makes the whole editing process feel smooth and effortless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

The biggest frustration for me is the subscription pricing.

Paying monthly just to access software I rely on feels uncomfortable, especially when there are one-time purchase alternatives out there.

The other thing that gets me is performance. With a large catalogue, Lightroom can get noticeably slow and sluggish, which is frustrating when you're trying to move quickly through a shoot.

And while it's powerful, the learning curve for beginners is steeper than I expected. It took me a while to fully understand the catalogue system and not feel completely overwhelmed.

Nothing that's made me quit it, but these are definitely pain points I wish Adobe would address! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
