What is Adobe Lightroom?


  • First developed in 2007, Adobe Lightroom is a professional image editing software for macOS and Windows computers. Unlike its counterpart, Photoshop, which is intended for a larger range of uses, Lightroom primarily features tools for the digital photography workflow. Tools in Lightroom allow users to adjust the entire image using color curves, white balance, brightness and contrast, and other lighting and color adjustments. Lightroom is non-destructive, meaning it doesn't make changes to the original pixels in the image, which can be irreversible.

  • Lightroom features a variety of tools for processing and storing a large number of image files, making it more efficient for those who edit many photos at once. It also supports RAW image files, which is convenient for editing uncompressed images before exporting them.

  • Adobe Lightroom is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud software family. It is available for purchase individually for a monthly or yearly subscription. Lightroom is also available in a package with Adobe Photoshop, or as part of the Creative Cloud subscription.
