Excellent image enhancement and processing software that has image editing features, photo process workflow, presets and profiles for major makes and models of camera including cell phones.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic is an excellent, if not the best RAW image processor and workflow application for photographers.
The program is optimized for batch processing in mind and contains all of the support needed to process raw image files from virtually all makes of cameras, including Sony, Canon and Nikon. Other smaller brands are supported too including Apple's iPhone, Samsung's Galaxy devices and more. Lens profiles are one of the most important features of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic that provide distortion corrects and removal of chromatic aberration.
Great way to edit and optimize raw digital photographs
When it comes to editing digital photographs, Lightroom Classic is completely packed with features. Editing workflow can include adjustment of levels: exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks and temperature plus tint. Presence adjustments are clarity, vibrance and saturation for creation of different types of effects including HDR photography. Sharpening pictures is a breeze with several different options available but the included presets are a good place to start.
An image's histogram, cropping, red eye removal or spot tool are features available, along with radial and graduated filters. Labels as well as ratings can also be added to images.
Quick editing with existing or downloadable presets
For those who have a certain set of favorite adjustments, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic can create what are called presets. Presets are essentially a collection of pre-made adjustments that can be applied one-by-one or en masse to a set of photographs.
Virtually all edits using the different levels can be applied with graduated or radial filters. Worth noting is that graduated and radial filters can also be included in presets. And in fact, presets might be the most powerful feature of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic.
In conclusion
In conclusion, most professional and amateur photographs alike can get a lot done with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic and we'd really encourage anybody looking into photography to have a look at this free trial application before purchasing any other package.
