Introduction
Lightroom was designed for professional photographers or serious amateurs. Its cool interface and carefully tailored tools and features, Lightroom puts your photographs first and helps you get your work at the computer done faster.
During development of Lightroom, Adobe actively listened to the input of photographers during a public beta program.
Everything from image viewing to timesaving editing features was developed with help from the photographers who participated in the program.
Use flexible tools and features to manage the processing of large volumes of photographs, and customize a wide range of importing, renaming, and metadata stamping functions to suit your needs. Easily assemble and output high-quality printed contact sheets, online web galleries, and slide shows for client presentation. And keep track of the changes you’ve made to images, including alternate versions, easily and automatically with the History panel.
Lightroom works with JPEG and TIFF images or more than 140 raw file formats—which you can convert to the universal DNG format without a loss of image quality. Store your photographs in the Lightroom Library—even if they’re located on offline media. And take advantage of robust metadata support and advanced keywording capabilities to help you find the photographs you need quickly and easily.
