Difference between Lightroom and Photoshop
1320872
Lightroom compliments the digital camera and gives you the capabilities of a well equipped wet darkroom. For example: * The camera is set for daylight, Lightroom adjusts the image temperature like using "indoor" film for fluorescent lights or studio lights. * You shoot creating "raw" and "jpg" images, jpg goes right to facebook, raw (which has more information) is used to create that frame-able, award winning print. * You adjust a raw print, Lightroom saves the changes (not the whole image) and the original image. This saves a lot of computer space if you have a dozen variations of the same image. * In the old dark room, you used light (time and intensity) to burn and dodge a print to bring out details in the shadows and washed out feaures. In LR you use your mouse or finger (touch screen). Ditto for tones like sepia and solarization. LR can do pixilation. Try that with an enlarger. * Like the old negative file system. LR stores your `raw' or jpg images in a system of your choice. You can create cross reference list such as "beach photos" or "cute D. coriacea faces" to find your beach or sea turtle pictures without making copies in different directories. It's like use file cards but without the hassle. Changes are not made to the originals (like you can't change a negative) * Of course you can crop, adjust contrast, color, tone, vignette, control convergence, combination print, make contact(proof) sheets, and most of the wet darkroom techniques. Of course with the full-blown Photoshop you can do all this, but LR is for the photographer and is easier on the wallet. I recommend that you take a LR class from a professional photographer. It will be worth every penny.

No it does not. Commenting on the other review, please note that the ebay is a standard version but this is a highly modified aftermarket extreme computer. The screen, graphic card and disc player are stock but the other internals top of the line last year when it came out. Still working well. No issues at all with large RAW photo files in Lightroom or Photoshop.

It's Adobe photoshop lightroom. If you go to Adobe's website it'll assist you with your question.

Both. You can also burn lightscribe images as well. I've been happy with it.

Please check with Adobe for the system requirements for the Photoshop version that you are planning to run and compare it with the specifications of this computer. Most versions run on this model without a problem, but there are some more advanced versions that might need a more powerful setup.

Photoshop Elements 9. It's not as fancy as regular Photoshop, but it works for me.

Hi i don't know how serious you are about photo editing but I have done it for years and find Photoshop Elements 6 to be excellent. I have used it for about a year now. It came out later that the one for windows so when windows came out with PE7 for windows I called adobe and asked them if it had more features in the windows version and he said that PE7 for windows was the same as PE 6 for mac because the mac version came out later it had all the new features first. It has many of the features of the much more expensive full version of photoshop. There are online tutorials to help you learn it and there is tech support. I bought it originally for under $100 and upgrades are cheaper. If you do a search you might find it cheaper. The new version of Iphoto is also very good. It comes free with the new macs or it is part of Ilife 09. I have looked into Adobe lightroom and Aperture 2 and have not been persuaded that they are necessary for me. PE6 for mac has raw support for many cameras . Hope that helps. Ron

Hello, I had a demo version for Photoshop and I had no problem with it so I think you're good:)

Yes most do, but a good photo editing program is best to use. I recommend lightroom.

Lightroom will be a faster program but there are some features that Paint Shop has that Lightroom doesn't. But that doesn't mean you should get Lightroom. Every working photographer should have Lightroom as one of their tools.

(Copied from Photography Q&A site) Subject to the terms of the software license agreement, the primary user of the computer on which Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is installed may install a second copy of the software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable computer or a computer located at his or her home, provided that the software on the second computer is not used at the same time as the software on the primary computer. Lightroom is sold as multiplatform software, which means it can be installed on either Mac OS X or Windows.

Yes. This is the standalone Lightroom application which you pay for once. I am a photographer and use Lightroom most of the time, even though I have CS6. Creative cloud will be useful if you need the power of Photoshop for image manipulation & creation. Lightroom as a stand alone is more than good enough for image enhancement and localised adjustments.

You only need 64 bit if you are running the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Lightroom will install on 64-bit or 32-bit.

It is a standalone product. It is geared towards photo manipulation whereas Photoshop is a full blown digital compositing and composing solution.

No, Adobe XI but no Photoshop. Windows Live\Photo Gallery is the graphic design program it comes with.

i don't know a thing about photoshop, but when i d/l pictures to other programs, it often takes a few seconds for them to "load." this has them starting out blurry and then clearing in a matter of seconds, at most.
