Review Summary

I use this software to make minor edits to my images, such as adjusting levels. It's so easy to use and just gives my images that extra pop. I was disappointed that I couldn't use v.5 with my Macbook, which I only purchased in 2011, but for now, v.4 will suffice, as I don't tend to use very tech-whizz functions.

I have enjoyed processing my images with Lightroom. Super easy when Photoshop is overkill.

I just love Lightroom 4! It`s so easy to use and way faster than photoshop. I understand I can´t use it for more complicated things, but I CAN do 99% of the editing in LR 4! ANd for that price- can`t get any better than that!

Advanced Ametuer of over 30 years experience with a camera. This program is Wonderful and way better than my old copy of Adobe Lightroom 3! The controls have changed quite a bit, so it took a few minutes to get situated; but those few minutes spent were well worth it! My work flow has speeded up and my photographs are coming out amazing!

Experienced Photoshop user, now learning Lightroom 4. LR4 has a "million" options that are not always easy to find. The book gets you off and running. As the e-version is searchable, going back for second a look is easy. The book leaves out small details often. Had to use other sources (on-line) to find out what menu options were used for.

There have been some great improvements since LR3. For Windows users this is really the only game in town. For Mac, there's Aperture. After using both, LR4 has better controls and output but Aperture still does workflow better. A must have for those who prefer to shoot in RAW to get the best results.

I gave Lightroom 4 to my wife for her birthday. It's changed her photography dramatically by making the skies in her images come alive. I've watched how dull, gray skies have turned into dramatic ones that literally pop because of the gradient filter. Each day she discovers something new and wonderful about this program. It's made such a difference in her photography that I'll soon be buying my own copy.

I am just getting started using Lightroom 4 and so far find it extremely easy to learn and use. The correction of problems in exposure, contrast, color, and other problems is excellent.

First time doing post processing and Lightroom is the way to go! Nothing can beat the control you have in this software. And like the pros say, 90% of the work is done in LR. The remaining 10% kicks in only if you need to do creative and fanciful stuff to your pictures. For most casual photographers, this is the only software you need.
