Working with Lightroom means your original file is not affected in any way when you edit your photos or raw files, and this makes Lightroom a great non-destructive editing tool. The adjustment brush that helps with local adjustments is another great tool for advanced editing features that allow the photographer to smooth skin, locally make adjustments to colours, exposure, shadows, highlights, etc., making Adobe Lightroom a great application for moderate retouching as well. Knowing to make use of the various tools like the radial and adjustment filter effectively can even help you with improving skies and creating beautiful looks like lomo effect, film looks, and effects like fog, light leaks, sunlight, etc., in your images. You can also create any kind of look in Lightroom from moody to vintage, retro and cheerful effects. Besides, the Library and Develop Module help with almost all tasks that a photographer would need to carry out with their raw files. Lightroom is one of the few applications that allows you to organize your photos and comes with other brilliant features like smart previews, local edits, virtual copies, and advanced export settings that include exporting files for various purposes like web, prints, etc.

The Lightroom Presets that come with the application can be helpful tools for anyone starting new, making Lightroom a great tool even for beginners in photography and post-processing. There are a lot of things you can do with Adobe Lightroom from basic adjustments like correct exposure, contrast, adjust white balance, to Panorama and HDR merge. Lightroom has gone through a lot of improvements and updates over the past few years and is very simple to learn and master, unlike Photoshop.
