What is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a photography software program designed to assist users in managing large quantities of digital images and doing post production work. Lightroom combines photo management and editing in one interface. It is not a file browser like Adobe Bridge, but rather an image management application database which helps in viewing, editing, and managing digital photos. Lightroom's closest competitor is Apple's Aperture program which similarly provides photo management and non-destructive editing capabilities.

Jackie Yes, I do convert my phtoos to DNG when I import them. I just got tired over a year ago
Jackie Yes, I do convert my phtoos to DNG when I import them. I just got tired of all the little .xmp files. Also, DNG are slightly smaller than my .nef files were.Natalie I've had a few people ask about that but I am not sure that it is enough to justify me planning a class yet. Could be in the future, though.Laurel There will be no killing now that the secrets have been shared ! Did you hear the part about my house not being clean, either?!?!
