I’ve followed the development of Adobe’s image editors since then, through the first version of Lightroom all the way to the current Creative Cloud edition.

Why Trust Me for This Lightroom Review?.What I Don’t Like: Complex Editing Features Need Work. Of course, as part of the Creative Cloud, Lightroom gets updated regularly, so there’s plenty of opportunity for fixing bugs in future updates – and new features are being added constantly. My modern graphics card (an AMD RX 480) isn’t supported by Lightroom for GPU acceleration features under Windows 10, despite having all the latest drivers, and there are some issues with the automatic application of lens correction profiles. It also can output your retouched images in a range of formats from a Blurb photo book to an HTML-based slideshow.įor such a high-profile program from a well-known developer, there are a few bugs that are really beyond excuse – but even these issues are relatively minor.

As part of the Adobe Creative Cloud software series, it has a wide range of integrations with other related image software, including the industry-standard image editor, Photoshop. Adobe Lightroom is an excellent RAW image editor backed up by solid library management and organizational tools.
