What I like most is that Lightroom makes it much easier to manage and edit a large number of photos than trying to do everything in Photoshop. I mainly use it for personal photos, and I can quickly review a batch, organise them, adjust exposure and colours, crop, and apply the same type of edits across multiple images.
I also really like the masking and AI-assisted editing. Being able to select a person or the sky and tweak it separately saves a lot of manual work. The Generative Remove feature is also handy for quickly removing unwanted people or objects from a photo.
One AI moment that worked especially well for me was removing an unwanted person from the background of a shot. Lightroom generated a replacement background that looked quite natural, so I didn’t have to spend time manually cloning the area. That’s one of the AI features I find genuinely useful, rather than just a nice extra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My main limitation with Lightroom is that it’s excellent for photo management and overall, photo-level editing, but when I need more detailed manipulation, I still end up preferring Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
