Photoshop Lightroom

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a photo editing and management computer program developed by Adobe Systems for Windows and OS X, designed to assist users in managing large quantities of digital images and doing post-production work. Lightroom combines photo management and editing in one interface.

Key Features:

• Advanced Healing Brush: Make your images spotless with a single brush stroke. Adjust the size of the brush and move it in precise paths. Unwanted objects and flaws--even those with irregular shapes like threads--just disappear.
• Upright Tool: Straighten tilted images with a single click. The new Upright tool analyses images and detects skewed horizontal and vertical lines, even straightening shots where the horizon is hidden.
• Radial Gradient: Emphasise important parts of your image with more flexibility and control. The Radial Gradient tool lets you create off-centre vignette effects, or multiple vignetted areas within a single image.
• Smart Previews: Easily work with images without bringing your entire library with you. Just generate smaller stand-in files called Smart Previews. Make adjustments or metadata additions to the Smart Previews and apply your changes to the full-size originals later.
• Video Slide Shows: Easily share your work in elegant video slide shows. Combine still images, video clips, and music in creative HD videos that can be viewed on almost any computer or device.
• Improved Photo-book Creation: Create beautiful photo books from your images. Lightroom includes a variety of easy-to-use book templates, and now you can edit them to create a customised look. Upload your book for printing with just a few clicks.
• Location-based Organisation: Find, group and tag images by location, or plot a photo journey. Automatically display location data from GPS-enabled cameras and camera phones.
• Fast Cross-Platform Performance: Speed up day-to-day imaging tasks and process images faster with cross-platform 64-bit support for the latest Mac OS and Windows operating systems.
• Tight Photoshop Integration: Select one or multiple photos and automatically open them in Photoshop to perform detailed, pixel-level editing. See your results immediately back in Lightroom.
• Highlight and Shadow Recovery: Bring out all the detail that your camera captures in dark shadows and bright highlights. Now you have more power than ever before to create great images in challenging light.
• Selective Adjustment Brushes: Expand your creative control with flexible brushes that let you adjust targeted areas of your photo for just the look you want. Selectively adjust brightness, contrast, white balance, sharpness, noise reduction, moir removal, and much more.
• Superior Noise Reduction: Get amazing, natural-looking results from your high ISO images with state-of-the-art noise reduction technology. Apply noise reduction to the entire image or target specific areas.
• Non-Destructive Environment: Set your creativity free in a non-destructive editing environment that lets you experiment without limits. Your original images are never altered, and its easy to reverse your steps or save multiple versions of any photo.
• Advanced Black-and-white Conversion: Gain powerful control over the tonal qualities that make or break black-and-white images. Precisely mix information from eight colour channels when you convert to grayscale.
• One-Click Adjustments to Multiple Images: Save time when processing many images. Apply the same Develop settings--exposure or contrast, for example--to all the photographs in a group at once using presets or syncing.
