Filmstrip in Lightroom helps you to easily and smoothly flick between pictures, and check out all the pictures that I’ve imported. Lightroom is ideal when you’re processing lots of photos, and you’re working with raw photos. Everything that you do on the photos is adjusted right on the top. There is no Layers panel available in Lightroom. Lightroom allows photographers to edit photos without going through the steep curve of learning Photoshop. Photoshop is a full-featured app more difficult to learn. Lightroom is a “younger brother” of Photoshop. When photographers come home from a shoot with a bunch of photos, Lightroom may help them to correct the photos the same way and apply quick non-destructive adjustments to many photos.

Such minor edits include color-balance, color corrections, brightness, contrast, exposure, temperature, lens flare, cropping, masking, healing brush, etc. Adobe Lightroom is a photo editing software similar to Photoshop but for making minor edits of large collections of photos, and it’s also a photo organizer.
