Photoshop Lightroom – Complete Digital Darkroom for Modern Photographers

Photoshop Lightroom Overview

Lightroom combines photos into “collections” – virtual gatherings of files that can be quickly searched. It stores information about keywords, previews and metadata not in each graphic file, but in a centralized database (SQLite engine). Therefore, the database can be accessed for photos that are currently in the DVD archive. The program is significantly smaller in size than Bridge, it starts faster and takes up less RAM. In general, Lightroom is designed exclusively for photographers who are interested in processing and cataloging photos, and not integrating everything. Another feature of the Photoshop Lightroom package is the division of the process of working with photos into separate stages. Each of them has its own functional module with a corresponding set of tools and settings palettes.

Notes

1. Unzip the archive and place it in a separate folder from where you will run.

5. Does not require installation of libraries in the system. Does not leave traces in the system and registry.
