Overall, that feels quite powerful for a mobile app. > > **Cons**: For the desktop version, even on my strong PC, Lightroom Classic sometimes slows down when I change modules or start a large export. The face‑recognition tool is not always accurate; it often marks my cat as a person. ----- ### "Great for a beginner" — 5.0/5 > **Nick** | *21 February 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lightroom has been an easy start into editing photos for my new photography business. > > **Cons**: It's quite intense on my hardware and slows everything down while using it. > > I've used it on and off in the past (the mobile version is fantastic). I might look at using Photoshop or something a little more technical at some point in the future, but for now, I really enjoy it. ----- ### "Great for photographers" — 4.0/5 > **Crystal** | *29 May 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a very in depth software for editing photos. It can make adjustments from the most miniscule changes to the most extreme and everything in between. If you can learn the software, it will be a gamechanger for your photography > > **Cons**: It has a semi-steep learning curve, the subscription costs can be hard to justify for those just starting out, and my least favorite thing, is the black lettering on a dark gray background for 99% of the menu options making it extremely difficult at times to pick out what you are looking for > > Overall, I'm a huge fan of the software and would recommend it for any photographer, but the costs and the learning curve can take some persuasion to want to jump in ----- ### "Best software for photographers" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *27 January 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Best cataloging software on the market - Easy to use - Many options for development and editing > > **Cons**: - Sometimes painfully slow, especially with large catalogues - Only subscription model available, if newest version is needed > > I am using lightroom for almost 15 years now and still stick to it. There is no other software that is capable of Lightrooms cataloging features combined with development tools. Unfortunately, it sometimes is painfully slow and unresponsive and Adobe does not really seem to do anything about it nor implement feedback - even if there are thousands of votes for it. ----- ### "Lightroom Classic user for years" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 March 2026* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple yet powerful, intuitive interface. Handles photo library well. Excellent and powerful suite of tools. > > **Cons**: There is not a great deal to complain about for me and my photography workflow as it pertains to using Lightroom Classic. I will say that some of the tools that are available in both Photoshop and Lightroom are vastly superior in Photoshop. > > It works and works well. Delivers what it promises and what I need to get photos culled, edited, and exported to spec. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1016102/adobe-photoshop-lightroom?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1016102/adobe-photoshop-lightroom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
