Have you ever taken photos that looked perfect at the time, only to realize there was too little light? Or that it has some unwanted detail that you couldn't see at the time? Problems like these can spoil perfect memories and damage photos that we don't get a chance to repeat. Luckily, many photo editing apps can help us remedy these problems.
And what better option than the one created by the audiovisual services giant Adobe, with its non-destructive proposal called Lightroom, an app that contains all the tools to fix and correct images with ease. Anyone can dive in and see all the options that this fantastic tool has to offer.
With Lightroom you can feel like you're in a photo studio
With Lightroom you can not only edit photos, but the app also has a lot of practical options for people who are dedicated to photography. This doesn't mean that beginners or inexperienced people can't enjoy all that the app has to offer, as its intuitive design makes the software easy to learn and use regardless of the user's level of experience.
The app has its own gallery for organizing photos, where users can create collections based on a variety of metrics such as theme, format, color coding and more advanced options for those who require them.
Sharing images is also a simple task with this app, as it allows importing and exporting large numbers of files, as well as sharing them with other apps or contacts. The software allows different types of formats that are commonly used, such as RAW, TIFF, JPEG, PSD, PNG, or CMYK.
Unlimited options at arm’s reach
There are so many variables to change in a photo that if we were to talk about all of them this text would be never finished, but regarding the most useful tools present in the app, here is what there is to consider:
- Visual adjustments: in the editing section, users can make changes to the white balance, color balance, image tone, contrast, in addition to other useful functions such as noise reduction.
- Non-destructive editing: in contrast to Photoshop, Lightroom does not change anything on the image, saving the edited image as a separate file, preserving the original without changes or alterations.
- Presets: the app allows you to save user-defined sets of changes to apply to entire collections of photos, as well as for later use. This innovative tool has generated a large online market of users looking for these presets to achieve professional results.
- Ease of printing: Lightroom has a section designed specifically for printing images, with adjustable variables such as proportions, photo size and orientation.
Share your work with others!
The app understands how difficult it can be to categorize thousands of photos, export them, and share them, so it offers a range of ways to send and share files in the desired format, making it easy for the user.
One of these ways is through slideshows, which are sets of photos displayed in sequence, which also can be customized by the user. Slideshows also can be expanded with things like music or creative backgrounds. Also, there's the possibility of designing HTML5 galleries so web owners can export them to their websites, using various templates or layout options.
Bottom line is anyone can incorporate Lightroom into their setup
What many people think is that these apps are usually reserved for professionals in the field, leaving out many people who for various reasons end up feeling that these tools are too difficult to use. When in reality, everyone can get something out of Lightroom, whether it's its file sharing features, its editing tools, or any of its other useful features when it comes to photography.
