Adobe Lightroom is my second choice in photo edit and digital art creation. I will give you my 20 Top Reasons To Use Adobe Lightroom. This is not all of the features and functions of Lightroom but, I want to share some of the reasons why to get it.

It provided flexibility and versatile tools in photo editing and digital project creations. With Lightroom, you are only limited by your level of creativity and imagination. Learning how to use it is easy since there is an abundance of free training out there. I have recommendations on free training at the bottom of this post.

20 Top Reasons To Use Adobe Lightroom

1. It is affordable and their monthly plan makes it more accessible to everyone.
2. It is perfect for a beginner. (I will cover free training below.)
3. Unlimited undo’s: This is a very appealing feature since we have all made mistakes, myself included.
4. Sync changes across multiple images.
5. Easy Watermarking, which is important if you make with your designs and photos.
6. The range of tools available to you gives you the flexibility to express your creativity with your photos!
7. Edit your photos by making changes based on the pictures existing qualities and composition.
8. Restore or repair old photos.
9. It will integrate Adobe Photoshop seamlessly.
10. Layer Masks Tool: This is less robust than the one you will find in Photoshop, but it does have an “Auto Mask” feature built-in.
11. Flexible and easy to use interface.
12. The Adjustment Brush tool: This is very powerful and has an “Auto Mask” feature built-in.
13. You can make money with it, you are only limited by your creativity.
14. Lightroom doesn’t take too much hard drive space.
15. The organization features let you organize all your photographs the way you want.
16. Create photo books, slideshows, prints, simple web galleries, and more.
17. Nondestructive Editing: This can be a big deal, especially when you only have one original image and no backup copy.
18. Slider-based Controls: Unlike Photoshop, most of the controls in Lightroom are sliders.
19. The Spot Removal Brush can heal and clone the pixels with a simple click and drag. You can remove blemishes, wrinkles, power lines, and more.
20. Built-in RAW editing: Unlike Photoshop, you can do this with Lightroom without an additional plugin to edit the RAW files from your camera.

Here are examples below of what Lightroom can do for your picture editing needs.

   

This is why I would recommend buy or better yet getting a subscription for Adobe Lightroom. I find that the subscription is more affordable for me and would highly recommend it. I can even go for the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Subscription and leverage the whole creative suite for $19.99 a month. That way I don’t have to pick between Photoshop and Lightroom, I can get the best of both worlds. You can get these products at Adobe.com
