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 ----- ### "Simple and a HUGE time saver" — 5.0/5 > **Leighann** | *2 May 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Preset filters are the best\! I don't have a lot of time for photo editing. It's something I've had to learn to do in order to maintain a decent social media presence for my school, but I'm not great at it. Preset filters in Lightroom make all my photos look better. > > **Cons**: I just wish I knew how to better use all the features\! I know I'm not using it to its fullest potential, but it works for my purposes. > > Very satisfied. I am able to edit my photos quickly and easily to make them more presentable on social media. ----- ### "Great software, horrible business plan" — 3.0/5 > **Léandre** | *12 February 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Access between tablet, pc and cellphone. > > **Cons**: The subscription model is horrible. I would love to buy once and would put 5 stars if that was the case > > Everything is great, but the subscription model is abhorrent. The minute I find something similar without a subscription, I'll switch ----- 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
