Both Lightroom and Photoshop are great software packages that have the ability to bring out your post-processing and post-production creativity.<\/p>\n<h2>Do I really need Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Unless you want to do really complex editing, Lightroom is often the better app to use. It&#8217;s simpler and more intuitive than Photoshop, and much more powerful than apps like Picassa or Photos. If you&#8217;re shooting RAW files (and you should be), Lightroom is the best app for editing them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is there a free version of Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Adobe&#8217;s Lightroom is now entirely free to use on mobile. The Android app is dropping its requirement for a Creative Cloud subscription today, following the iOS version going free in October. &#8230; With that now dropped, Adobe&#8217;s opening up yet another very capable editing app for people to get hooked on.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How can I get Lightroom for free?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>First, go to the Lightroom website and point to the top of the screen. There you will find a button called \u201cFree trial\u201d. Just click here to start the plan selection and download process.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is Lightroom difficult to learn?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Lightroom is not a difficult program to learn for a beginner photo editor. All panels and tools are clearly labeled, making it easy to identify what each adjustment does.

In Lightroom, you can both organize your photo library and edit photos.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I edit like a pro in Lightroom mobile?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Choose from one of the Preset categories \u2014 such as Creative, Color, or B&#038;W \u2014 and then select a preset.
