And mostly a problem on the mobile version, i wish PNG was an export option. ## Adobe Lightroom customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 328 (page 1). ### Great Editing Tools, but Too Expensive - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Farnaz K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I love working with Lightroom, especially because I can use it on my phone and everything syncs so easily. Sometimes not all the features are available on the mobile app, but it still works really well overall. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like that Lightroom lets me save my presets so I can use them again later. The preset suggestions are helpful when I’m not sure what changes to make. I also love the object removal tool because it quickly removes things I don’t want in my photos. #### Cons I don’t like the pricing. Lightroom is expensive, and the subscription can be hard to manage. It’s also annoying that sometimes you have to log in through a browser for that. Even though these things are frustrating, there aren’t many other apps that offer the same features. --- ### Lightroom is all you need to edit - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jesse S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I also like that users can connect to the community and use filters created by others. #### Cons I find that this program can be easily "overloaded" and will crash- especially if the device you are using it on is not completely up to date. If you are ensuring that your device and Lightroom are both running on the latest software, it works fine 99% of the time. #### Reasons for switching to Adobe Lightroom I like the features and functions of Lightroom better than Photoshop. This platform feels a little easier to use as well for strictly image editing. --- ### A must have for all photographers - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: mickael l. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

It's a must have. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros LR allows you to edit your pictures as you want it to. It gives you really fast render. The AI tools are insanely good. The sorting tools allows you to handle your picture sorting as you want to directly in the application. #### Cons A bit complicated to understand all export options, but once you get use to it and make your templates properly it's a one click export. #### Reasons for choosing Adobe Lightroom I choose LR because it was the software with witch i was the most comfortable working with. --- ### The one-stop solution for smaller shoots - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lea D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I am happy with the software and can't imagine life without it. I have created so many custom presets for myself, it became really easy to use. If you take some time with it, you will learn it in and out and you will be able to speed up your workflow a lot. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love how with all the new features it is so easy to edit an entire shoot in Lightroom. Now I can even do smaller skin edits and background edits with it, many times for smaller shoots I don't open Photoshop next to it, only maybe for a handful of selected images at the end. I like that it's fast. And super easy to create and upload presets, easy to customize them, very smart tools, I overall love how easy it makes photo editing. With a little work you can change the image quality SOOO much! #### Cons I'm not sure if it's only on my Mac but sometimes I do have little technical issues, mainly with the selection tools, sometimes it has a hard time showing me the parts that I selected to edit them separately. But overall it might just be some bug that will disappear with an update. #### Reasons for switching to Adobe Lightroom Photoshop is just more complicated and I was happy to see another Adobe software which makes color manipulation and simple edits easier and faster. --- ### Adobe Lightroom for photographers - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sabina H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

I know there is a lot of them and the software needs some way to do it, but I would prefer some easier way. #### Reasons for switching to Adobe Lightroom I worked in PainTool SAI as a student because it was free and when I started working I purchased Creative Cloud. --- ### Lightroom Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Amanda R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Medical Practice - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

No incentive was offered It does what it says regardless of if you're a subscriber or not. it came with my creative cloud subscription so I tend to use it when I want to do some light editing. The app is far more superior than the desktop version. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros What I liked the most is the tools offered for editing and organizing images. Taking a decent image that may have turned out too dark and giving it a lighting adjustment is so easy to obtain. I also liked the option to use a screen reader. The interface is simple to navigate and easy to understand. #### Cons Since adobe moved to a subscription model lightroom is pricey considering the many alternatives that are out there. I don't like that it doesn't default to opening when I pop in an SD memory card. --- ### Great for a beginner - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nick O. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I've used it on and off in the past (the mobile version is fantastic).

I can crop and get the quality pictures I need and want with a few easy clicks. Then you just save to your phone and you are good to go! #### Cons The storage on the computer always seems to fill up fast. We need to be reminded to take them out of the program and save them in a separate file. --- ### Adobe Lightroom - The Field Photographer's Must-have Software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Larry R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Without Adobe Lightroom, my business would experience longer delivery times to publish content. Lightroom enables extremely fast import of new image files and export of finished art. Lightroom enables lightning-fast search and retrieval of images I need to review and select for published content. And lastly, Lightroom handles all aspects of image file management - of over 140,000 images located on multiple hard drives. Lightroom is a competitive advantage in my business. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have been a Lightroom user since the beginning of Lightroom, and it has become a critical part of my business processes. I really value Adobe's technical support and frequent updates to the product as new cameras and new capabilities are introduced to the market. One feature of Lightroom that literally saves me hours every day is the keyword tagging and search feature. As a writer and book publisher, it is critically important to me that I be able to find specific photos in my archive of over 140,000 images. Using Lightroom, I can enter a few keywords and Lightroom finds images tagged with those values within seconds. This capability alone is the difference between published a finished book layout in time, or missing a deadline. #### Cons There is not much that I don't like about Lightroom, but I must admit that there is one aspect of the product design that sometimes confuses novice users. That aspect is the data architecture it assigns when importing images, which assures that the original photo file is untouched. Essentially, Lightroom never changes an original image because it records the "path" to the location where each image existed at the time of import. Then, as edits are made to an image, a text file is created to record edits made, such as "increase contrast by +2" or "adjust horizon by -21 degrees." The most common complaint I hear from novice users is "my image disappeared from Lightroom." Invariably, when I help these individuals I learn that the user had changed the folder name, or the location of the file on the computer, which changes the "path" Lightroom uses to find the underlying image - remember, Lightroom does to protect the original file from accidental changes. #### Reasons for switching to Adobe Lightroom I initially switched because of the raw conversion and editing feature of Lightroom, but over time, the cataloging, search and retrieval, and image rating features have become equally important to my business. --- ### Holy Grail of Photoediting - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ankur B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Media Production - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Adobe Lightroom has been my first priority software since day 1. Hands down one of the best software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros If you're a content creator from a beginner level to having your own Media Agency, Adobe Lightroom is hands down one of the most perfect and most powerful tools. Especially with the integration of AI for masking, and other basic changes, it has been even more fun, quick, and easy to edit. Especially if you're someone who makes while traveling, and most of the time you're editing, you're in an Airplane, or car, or something where Laptop won't be feasible, you can edit directly on your iPad and then see them on your mobile for easy export & upload, on your Laptop for further work or with your team in some other country via cloud-based service. #### Cons The subscription model even thou affordable, isn't for everyone. They should allow free runs on Mobile for RAW editing while keeping the subscription model for iPad & Desktop versions. The lack of Fujifilm Film Simulation is a big red flag for Fujifilm users while their tether when compared to Capture One is quickly outdated. --- ### Edit all your social media photos with Lightroom! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brian G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Online Media - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use lightroom and photoshop sometimes interchangeably but I prefer using Lightroom for quick edits since it is perhaps the easiest and fastest program adobe offers #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Adobe Lightroom is deeply versatile but perhaps most importantly it takes so many steps out of the process to get photos onto social media that it becomes a necessary tool to master for every single creator who has any social media platform. The beauty is it’s easy to master and will have you feeling like a professional in no time even if you are one already ;) #### Cons Like all adobe products it comes with a moderate monthly price tag but like all Adobe products every bug is fixed and every update is applied as soon as you’re ready for it! --- ### The only software I use as a professional photographer - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matthias H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Adobe Lightroom is my all-in-one solution for my work as a professional photographer. It offers many options (Import-Editing-Export), and it's way easier to use than Adobe Photoshop. Batch processing is a key feature when it comes down to editing a lot of photos at the same time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Adobe Lightroom is easy-to-use, importing hundreds of RAW photos is fast, and the editing process is much more intuitive than Adobe Photoshop (especially batch processing). Sliders are used to edit the photos, which makes it a breeze to experiment and develop a fast workflow. Exporting the photos into smaller Jpegs for web usage works great too. #### Cons I have the impression that Adobe Lightroom is the reason that slows down my iMac. It takes quite a long time to start the software. Once you add a lot of photos to a catalog, it even gets worse. Therefore make sure you have enough RAM/storage space on your computer. --- ### One stop shop! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Cameron N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, the good far outweighs the negative and Lightroom has become an irreplaceable part of my workflow. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Lightroom has really grown over the years to become a nearly one stop shop for photo editing needs. Unless you are making drastic alterations to a photo where Photoshop is required, Lightroom can handle a majority of the workflow and also integrates well with organization and has features that allow for the upload to your website via plugins. #### Cons Over the years adobe has moved away from single license pricing to a cloud based subscription model and updates occasionally have bugs that take a bit of time to resolve, especially for Mac products. #### Reasons for choosing Adobe Lightroom Better integration, workflows, etc. #### Reasons for switching to Adobe Lightroom Planned obsolescence --- ### Adobe Lightroom Rocks - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Craig P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I absolutely enjoy using Lightroom with a majority of my images being edited with this software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I use Lightroom and Lightroom classic on a daily basis as a professional photographer. There is a small learning curve to Lightroom but once you get the hang of it, you won’t want to use anything else. I love their software. #### Cons I can honestly say the only thing I don’t like about Lightroom is the learning curve. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/product/450542-Adobe-Photoshop-Lightroom/reviews/?page=2) --- Adobe Lightroom Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
