When it comes to photo editing, there’s new better companies than Adobe and their Creative Suite. Most notably for creating Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, the company has made their products valuable to both photographers and graphic designers. However, for some photographers, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has become an important part of the photo editing process and allows for reorganizing and retouching a large number of digital images. It’s a powerful photo editing tool for professional photographers and now Lightroom will be available as an app for free on iOS and Android.
As this new competitor rises in the photo editing app market, Lightroom will be facing huge amounts of competition. With various free photo editing apps like VSCO and Instagram’s own editing features, will the Adobe platform be able to keep up? With a 4 star rating in the Google Play store and 4.5-star rating in the App Store, it seems that Lightroom has kept up its reputation even in mobile form.
For those interested in the app version of Lightroom, it has various features (as listed in Apple’s App Store) that will make your photos pop on Instagram or other social network platforms, including:
- Creating stunning images in seconds with tools that range from simple one-tap presets to powerful advanced adjustments.
- Experimenting freely with edits, and revert to the original at any time, with just one tap.
- Capturing amazing moments with the in-app Adobe camera, streamlining shoot to share.
- Simplifying your editing process and get consistent looks in your photos by copying your favorite edits across photos.
- Transforming your photos with seamless access and connectivity to Adobe Photoshop Fix, the new retouching app.
For those who are already Adobe Creative Cloud members, you can get exclusive features from the app as well. Adobe rewards their members with features that will take your photography even further with:
- Accessing your photos anywhere: Organize, edit and share Lightroom photos across mobile devices, desktop, and the web.
