May I ask what does Lightroom do over say Photoshop?
May I ask what does Lightroom do over say Photoshop?
That’s a complicated question to answer, but Lightroom has both an editing module (Develop) where you can do similar editing tasks to what you do in Photoshop, and a Library module that allows extensive keywording of your photographs so you can locate photos of a particular subject, date, etc.
There are other features, but – basically – Lightroom is for editing and image organization.
A person who does a large volume of photography and wants to edit many photos with pre-sets and then organize those photos by job or setting is the ideal candidate for Lightroom.

Thank you.
I wondered if it did some clever stuff on image enhancement.
I take photos from a light aircraft, up to 20,000ft up, and more often than not they are very hazy, or with an excessive blue tint.
The tint is probably caused by me being lazy and using the camera (Pentax K5, but they all do it) on auto white balance, but the haze is hard to remove. Auto-levels does a very crude job. I find that doing Levels manually, on R G B separately, and bringing the sliders in to the start/end of each spectrum, is usually better than AL.
A colleague is a semi-pro photographer and he uses LR and says it does a much better job of haze, but he can’t really explain what he is doing. It sounded like he changes the mode to Lab Colour and does something in there. But Photoshop (CS3) has that mode too.

I have both Lightroom2 and CS4. While I am far from an expert in Lightroom2 editing, I don’t think that LR does any better job of editing than Photoshop does. Photoshop allows the user more adjustments.
LR’s primary advantage in editing is in using pre-sets to edit a batch of photos. A wedding photographer, for example, is going to do a large number of shots under the same general lighting conditions. He can process those faster in LR than in PS.
The non-volume photographer can do editing in LR and not need PS, or do editing in PS and not need LR, but the volume photographer may want both systems; LR for most work and PS for more extensive editing on individual photos.
If LR allows you to change from RGB to Lab, I’m not aware of it. I do use Lab mode to tweak the A and B channels in Curves in Photoshop when I want some extra color pop.
Perhaps your friend is shooting RAW and has found some combination of adjustments that he has designated as a pre-set and applies it all images.
You should keep in mind, when looking into the comparative features, that this is an area where people have strong opinions on the value of the system they prefer. Like Ford/Chevy, Nikon/Canon, and Democrat/Republican, people become very prejudiced about their favorite.
I’ve tried to be neutral here, but I use LR primarily for the organization feature and do most editing in CS4. That’s not because I don’t like LR’s editing features, but because I’ve been using PS so long that it’s the method I’m most comfortable with. I’m not a high volume photographer; just a hobby photographer.

Be sure to use a UV filter. Image editing can’t do everything.

I had a tweak of those and the results are interesting, if non life-like on the pics I tried. But I must admit I don’t really understand the principles there.

I do use a Skylight filter already.
One also tries to shoot with the light *behind* the camera, of course.

That’s an issue of white balance and contrast which is easily corrected in software, even Lightroom.

Yes, that pic was mostly the WB. I need to find a hazy one, but I haven’t got any on that PB site because I fixed them all 🙂
To a highly experienced Photoshop user, Lightroom, which I got with a Leia M9, is a disaster. The user interface sucks, the capabilities are less than we can do with Actions. It’s a POS.
John J Stafford was inspired to sayStafford’s comment is typical of someone who has added a fairly complex program, failed to put in the necessary effort to understand how to work with the program, and blames the program for his deficiencies.

I’ve been umming and erring re Lightroom since v2.0 but still can’t decide.
May I ask how you catalogue / track your photos?
If you are an experienced Photoshop user, you can figure out most of editing in Lightroom by just experimenting with the commands in the Develop module. They are different from Photoshop’s, but not all that much different in concept…a few added bells and whistles, and a few missing bells and whistles. All basic editing steps are available.
I’m an experienced Photoshop user with basic – not extensive – skills in Lightroom. I find Lightroom to be extremely useful in image file management, but do my editing in CS4 because I’m more comfortable in Photoshop. I could do most of my editing in Lightroom, though.

You can’t add a program like Lightroom and expect to plunge in and use the program successfully without putting in hours of following a book or tutorials. The same can be said for current versions of Photoshop.

They are different from Photoshop’s, but not all that much different in concept…a few added bells and whistles, and a few missing bells and whistles. All basic editing steps are available.
Photoshop doesn’t have an image management program like Lightroom’s Library module. (Adobe’s Elements does, but it’s primitive compared to Lightroom’s) Basically, the Lightroom program uses keywords to manage image files. Assigning keywords – and you can add multiple keywords to any image – allows you to sort by subject. You can sort by keyword, or sort by various other factors like file name, shot date, modification date, lens, camera body, or other parameters. Lightroom includes some additional image file management features like Collections.
How effective it is in file management depends on how carefully you plan out your keyword system and how much you put into learning how to sort using the system.
If you buy Lightroom, expect to have to buy a book to learn it. There’s no manual, and the Help function is not a teaching function. There are several good books on Lightroom including books by Scott Kelby and Martin Evening. (These two authors are most recommended) There are also many online tutorials, but going through the entire process in a book is better than specific tutorials at first.
If you want good input on whether or not Lightroom would be good for you, provide good information about what you’re doing and what you expect to be able to do in your post.

Actually, the edit options in the Develop module of Lightroom are 100% identical to Photoshop’s Camera RAW plugin.
That also is the major
difference between the two applications. Photoshop itself is a pixel editor, Lightroom is a metadata editor. Although Lightroom does work with JPEG, TIFF and PSD images as well (providing they are RGB, not CMYK), it is meant for working with RAW images.

You clearly know what both applications are all about, but you should still look into doing more in Lightroom. Edits in Lightroom are non-destructive metadata edits, so you do not change rendered pixels. That makes Lightroom a much better editor than Photoshop. Photoshop can do more sophisticated edits, like working with layers, but Photoshop should be reserved for everything you *cannot* do in Lightroom. Whatever you *can* do in Lightroom, you better do in Lightroom.
The remaining shots are adjusted, cropped, and moved to file where they are uploaded to Lightroom, keyworded, and kept on file. I do burn a disk of all shots taken before the culling-out process.
I’ve tried it both ways, and find that editing in Photoshop works best for me. The advantage of editing in Lightroom is to the volume shooter who can use a pre-set to process many images shot under the same conditions. I don’t fit that description.
At my level of volume, the extra time spent on editing in Photoshop is no big deal. At my level of photographic skill, the extra pixel is no great deal either. I firmly believe that "Which is better?" depends a great deal on the individual’s need.

Maybe I misunderstand what you’re doing, but that sounds like you adjust and crop the RAW images and then upload a rendered TIFF (or JPEG or PSD) into Lightroom. Or do you mean that you adjust and crop the image in Photoshop Camera RAW, just press ‘OK’ rather than render the image and open it in Photoshop, and upload the RAW file (having an XMP sidecar file with the adjustments) in Lightroom? That would be exactly the same as first importing them in Lightroom and then do the adjustments, but it doesn’t sound like you are doing that. It sounds like you are using a workflow based on rendered images.

As Lightroom and Photoshop use the exact same RAW engine and the exact same options for RAW conversion, that is not true. There is no difference, even if you edit only one single RAW image, so it doesn’t depend on the volume. The only difference is when you need to do more edits, for example use layers. You can still do that by using ‘Open in Photoshop’ from within Lightroom. BTW, a volume shooter could also use your workflow, because Camera RAW can also work in batch.
It’s not the volume, it’s the priciple:
do you want to base your workflow on RAW originals or on rendered RGB results.
At my level of volume, the extra time spent on editing in Photoshop is no big deal. At my level of photographic skill, the extra pixel is no great deal either. I firmly believe that "Which is better?" depends a great deal on the individual’s need.
I disagree. There is a fundamental difference between pixel editing and metadata editing, because the latter is non-destructive. Pixel editing is like printing your negatives and then throw away those negatives because you now have the prints. That’s not ‘better’ for anyone.
One major advantage of using Lightroom, even in your case, is that your images can benefit from every future improvement made to the RAW engine.
I understand that you are comfortable with your present workflow, but even in your case I would advise you to reconsider that workflow. I’m sure you’ll find it would be worth it.

I open the RAW (.dng) file in Photoshop and make whatever adjustments, I feel are necessary to the image in the RAW edit mode. I then click "Open Image" and the image is then opened and available for additional edits in Photoshop CS4 if any additional edits are needed. Cropping is done as the last step here. The image is then saved as a .jpg.
The .jpg is then imported into Lightroom and keyworded. Lightroom is only used to store the image and allow me to view or find it later. What *I* want in my Lightroom view is a rendered and cropped finished image.
I don’t see any sign of batch processing or pre-sets in the Photoshop RAW editing mode in CS4. Here’s a screenshot of the RAW editing mode in CS4 of an unadjusted image:
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/cooper213/screenshot2 .gif
My "workflow" is based on RAW originals, but my image organization (Lightroom) is based on the rendered .jpgs. I use Lightroom as a file cabinet for .jpgs.
Nothing is thrown away. My RAW files are retained. I can’t remember the last time I went back to a RAW file and re-edited, though. Why do you place so much emphasis on the need to re-work the RAW file? Don’t you edit the first time around to your satisfaction?
If there was some major improvement, I can always bring up the original RAW file from my burned disks. However, I don’t have a bunch of RAW files of old images where I was unable to process the image with the tools I now have.
Why is it that people who do something a certain way think that the way they do it is the *only* right way? I like my system, but I don’t push it for others to use. I don’t try to discourage others from using a different system. I have tried importing the RAW files to Lightroom and editing in Lightroom. I didn’t feel it works for me.

That’s why I advised you to learn a bit more about Lightroom. You *will* see the cropped and adjusted image just the same if you import the DNG’s right into Lightroom. A DNG contains all the adjustment settings (including cropping!), but in a non-destructive way. Lightroom can do exactly what you want with RAW images. It’s just that you apparently never really took the time to learn how.

You can do it in CS4 too, you just have to know how.
Even if you do not accept anything else I say, this will be a huge time saver for you. This way, you can adjust one image and then quickly apply the adjustments to the other images you took in the same situation.
My "workflow" is based on RAW originals, but my image organization (Lightroom) is based on the rendered .jpgs. I use Lightroom as a file cabinet for .jpgs.
I think this costs you a lot *more* time than if you would organise the DNG files in Lightroom, because you would not have to render JPEG’s for each of them and because you didn’t even know you can batch-adjust the images, even in Photoshop.
If there was some major improvement, I can always bring up the original RAW file from my burned disks. However, I don’t have a bunch of RAW files of old images where I was unable to process the image with the tools I now have.
I’m not suggesting that you cannot process them right now, I’m suggesting that you could get a *better result* with improved software. That is one of the reason software gets improved in the first place. The noise reduction improvements in Lightroom 3 are stunning.
It’s like you bought a new camera when you look at high ISO images.
As you are using Photoshop CS4, you can’t
benefit from that improvement at all right now. You may not even know about it! Assuming you’ve got Lightroom 3 (and if you don’t, you could update for a lot less than updating to Photoshop CS5 would cost you), you could benefit if you used a RAW workflow in Lightroom.
Why is it that people who do something a certain way think that the way they do it is the *only* right way? I like my system, but I don’t push it for others to use. I don’t try to discourage others from using a different system. I have tried importing the RAW files to Lightroom and editing in Lightroom. I didn’t feel it works for me.
Don’t get upset. It’s just some friendly advice. Advice from somebody who wrote several books on the subject, so who took some time to look at the pros and the cons of different workflows. Don’t worry, I won’t come over and push it down your throat. If you don’t want friendly advice, that’s fine with me too.
I also wrote this because I assume more people are
reading this than just you and me. Maybe someone else does appreciate the advice.

I do appreciate that you have been generally polite and informative, and I do listen to suggestions. Reading comments is what prompted me to buy Lightroom2 when I did.
However, there’s a bit of doorstep missionary fervor to your comments. It’s like you’ve become a True Believer and you feel you must convert everyone to being a True Believer.

The batch processing is not in the RAW editing mode that I sent the screen shot of. The batch processing is in the Photoshop mode after you leave RAW editing. You are no longer working with the RAW image when you are in the Photoshop mode. You are only working with the results of the RAW editing mode. The format will be determined at the Save point.
CS4 has two editing modes. When a RAW file (.dng, in my case) is opened, it opens in the Adobe RAW editing mode (screenshot) When you open the file from that, it goes to the Photoshop editing mode. That’s where the batch commands are and where you can use actions. Actions can take the place of pre-sets.
In that case you will be surprised to learn that I don’t even use Lightroom myself. i use Apple Aperture instead.
Do you use a CS version of Photoshop? If not, that may explain why you did not understand what I meant about the Photoshop RAW editing mode.

You are correct. I had not tried to open several images at the same time in this mode. No, I did not know this existed.
I must have mentally skipped over your earlier suggestion.
I’m sure this is not the only feature of Photoshop that I’m not aware of or proficient at. I don’t care how long you use Photoshop, there always seems to be some new feature or technique to learn.
I do not only use Photoshop CS5, I wrote several books about it (and about Lightroom and about Aperture). Unfortunately they are in Dutch and I don’t suppose you speak that language, otherwise I would advise you to read my book called ‘RAW’.

Give your photos a professional finish with sharpening in Photoshop. Learn to enhance details, create contrast, and prepare your images for print, web, and social media.
Nice and short text about related topics in discussion sections
