Performance of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Across Market Features

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Likes & Dislikes

Like

How quickly I can apply consistent colour grading across large batches of images. Presets allow for fast, repeatable edits Non-destructive editing keeps the originals safe Clear before and afters Strong control over exposure, tone, colour etc Easy to export for web, social and print

Like

the IA integration and the feature that allow you to delete objects from an image

Like

There are a great number of tutorials and training out there for users to take in and make their own. On top of that, there are a number of templates that you can create yourself or find online to help you streamline your process further. Users have great success without getting bogged down in a lot of unnecessary options.

Dislike

Large libraries can slow down previews Syncing between devices can sometimes lag Export speed drops with higher resolution files These issues are manageable though, they just require some basic 'housekeeping' to keep things running smoothly.

Dislike

the limited capatabilities of costumization and a poor support

Dislike

Between versions there is a moderate amount of interface changes that we need to target with training but for the most part it does not take up much time. Subscription models are hard to take when trying to use this product in isolation however the integration with the rest of Creative Cloud is nice if you need it.

    Lightroom Focuses on Photo Management but Subscription Model Presents Challenges

    5.0
    Nov 24, 2025
    Lightroom has been a great way to bring image color correction and management to our users. Since it was built from the ground up to manage photos and coloring it means that the product is streamlined for users who don't need to do graphic design along with their management of photos.

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom makes a great impression through its user interface and also it gets updated frequently which keeps it up to date with present features. The AI additions make it more powerful so I can just add something in my image by just a few clicks.
