"Lightroom Classic: Non-Destructive Workflow, Powerful Cataloging, and Time-Saving AI Masks"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic?

What I like most about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic is its non-destructive editing workflow and its powerful organization tools. The catalog system makes it incredibly easy to manage 50,000+ photos, thanks to smart collections, keywording, and star ratings. The Develop module is excellent—I can batch-edit hundreds of photos in seconds using presets and synced settings.

The standout features for me are the industry-leading RAW processing, which recovers shadows and highlights beautifully, and the local adjustments with masking. The AI masks for subject and sky save me hours compared to doing the same work in Photoshop. Performance is also much better now with GPU acceleration, and the integration with Photoshop for more advanced retouching feels seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic?

At times, performance lags when I’m working with large catalogs, and it can consume a lot of RAM/GPU resources. I also wish the cloud sync experience were more intuitive, and that the pricing were more affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Lightroom Classic has solved our photo organization issues and the slow editing workflow we used to deal with. It helps us manage 50k+ RAW photos easily, and it cuts our batch editing time by about 70% thanks to presets and sync. Overall, it makes our entire import-to-export process much faster and more professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
