If you need a professional application to cover every single step in photo management, from editing to publication, look no further. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is exactly what you're dreaming of.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom could be defined as the perfect application to import, manage, store, edit and publish images, all from one single interface. It's aimed at both serious amateur and professionals photographers, so I guess basic-skilled users will find a bit more complicated to use – especially the interface, which can be a bit overwhelming.
Once you explore the program and become familiar with it, you'll start discovering all the great features Adobe Photoshop Lightroom hides. You can import your whole photo collection automatically and browse very easily, thanks to the thumbnail gallery or the timeline view at the bottom of the screen. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom supports tags and image ratings, and also lets you create sets and collections to organize your photo library.
Editing tools are located on the right side of the interface. You can do some basic editing in the Quick Develop sections, such as adjusting tone and exposure, or simply apply one of the saved presets included in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. For further editing though you'll need to go to the Develop section, using the module picker strip in the upper right corner.
When you're finished editing your images, it's time to prepare then for delivery. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom lets you create slideshows, generate web galleries and also prepare your images for printing, all of them with the possibility to use predefined templates, which makes the job much easier.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a top of the range photo management too, thanks to its great interface structure, advanced editing tools and choice of publishing options.
