Adobe Lightroom – Improve your photographs with the touch of a button

Lightroom is one of my most used tools in my arsenal photo-editing softwares. I’m not the most technical kind of photographer when it comes to taking photos (in-camera), so most of the time, I have to edit the photos I take before uploading them in the internet. At certain times, I have hundreds of photos that I want to upload in a short span of time. Lightroom to saves me a hell of a lot of time and effort unlike editing the photos one by one in photoshop.

Lightroom works like Picasa but is much powerful. I like that it’s able to edit RAW photos since I now exclusively shoot in RAW format. Another  thing I like about Lightroom is that you can apply “preset effects” to a photo, which means you can edit/enhance photos with just one click of a button.

Example

This is an unedited photo I took during a recent trip to Taklong Island in Guimaras. Due to the undesirable settings I had and the lighting conditions, the photo I took looks dull, which doesn’t give justice to the beautiful sight in real life. I wanted to emphasize the vibrant colors of the boat and the scenery so I had to brighten the photo, and increase the saturation and contrast. Though … before going on with the image I had in my head, I wanted to tryout some other effects. Using the preset option, I came up with these:

The mood of the picture had changed dramatically and it didn’t require much knowledge in editing or photography. After tweaking the photo some more in Lighroom, I came up with this final image:

      Next to Picasa, It’s at most convenient photo-editing software I’ve tried.

    i like LR too. It’s great that you can copy effects from one photo (even without a preset) to another with just a click of a button. And exporting is a breeze, saves so much time.
