RRP $505.00 Our Price $432.00

New Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom™ software is the professional photographer's essential toolbox, providing one easy application for managing, adjusting, and presenting large volumes of digital photographs so you can spend less time in front of the computer and more time behind the lens.

Work with a tool focused on photographers' needs
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was designed expressly for professional photographers. From its elegant, uncluttered interface to its carefully tailored tools and features, Lightroom puts your photographs first and helps you get your work at the computer done faster. To guide the development of Lightroom, Adobe actively sought the input of experienced photographers during a groundbreaking public beta program. Everything from image viewing and evaluation tools to timesaving editing features was developed with help from the photographers who participated in the program.

Accelerate your workflow
Lightroom is a nimble tool that moves you efficiently through every step of your workflow, from image capture to client presentation. 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.

Use it your way
Lightroom is adaptable and compatible — with the way you work, with the hardware you use, and with open standards rather than proprietary systems and formats. Use it on Microsoft® Windows® or the Mac OS. Work 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. Switch to Adobe Photoshop software (sold separately) at any time to perform detailed editing, and then return to Lightroom to see the changes reflected in the Library. And take advantage of robust metadata support and advanced keywording capabilities to help you find the photographs you need quickly and easily.
