For photographers, it is essential to post-processing photos. In today's late-stage software, Adobe Lightroom is one of the most popular. And there are many reasons why photographers like it, such as convenient and fast operation, powerful, simple and easy to get started and so on. And then, let's take a look at its 9 big "kill", and if you know anything else, add him in!

1. Use sync to edit pictures on iphone and ipad

In the Lightroom Adobe 5.4 release, the Lightroom mobile application extends the functionality of the Lightroom Desktop Edition to the IPad. You can download your DSLR photos to the Lightroom Desktop Edition and create a Favorites folder, and then sync the favorites with Lightroom Mobile. After synchronization, you can continue to edit the photos on the IPad. All of your Lightroom mobile edits will be automatically synchronized back to your computer. The Lightroom Adobe 5.5 extends this functionality to the iphone.

2. Can be used on external storage

Lightroom has great flexibility in managing, organizing, and editing photos. Your photos can be anywhere-it doesn't matter whether it's on the same computer with the Lightroom application, on the external hard drive, or even on the network drive. Because the catalog stores a preview of each photo, you can work with photos in Lightroom and view the editing changes while you are working. Throughout the process, Lightroom has not affected the original photo file.

3. A separate model to save time

Lightroom's individual mode is a particularly efficient image processing mode, although the Lightroom interface is already efficient, but there are a number of settings to operate, especially when modifying photos. When these panels are expanded, the Lightroom interface becomes particularly complex, and it is difficult to quickly find the required parameter options. It also takes a lot of time to open the closing panel frequently. At this time the appearance of the individual mode becomes particularly meaningful, in the lightroom of the individual mode, when clicked Open a panel, Lightroom will automatically put up other panels, so that the entire panel area to maintain a refreshing interface. If you want to open a separate mode of Lightroom, just click the right mouse button on the Panel menu and choose a separate mode on the menu.

4. Frequent operation Save As preset

The preset functionality of the Lightroom is a great time saver. You can edit the steps you use frequently to make a preset, so with one click, all of your selected photos will automatically complete the frequently used steps. Also, for a photo to be taken back, you can edit the adjustment steps of one of the photos as a preset so that you don't have to adjust the picture one at a while.

The steps to adjust the picture in Lightroom are as follows: After adjusting the photo, open the left side of the control Panel, in the preset column has a "+", click and give the new preset name, save it. The new presets can be applied to other photos.

5. Download and use Presets

Online, there will be a lot of good friends to share Lightroom preset, so we can also download back to their own use. And for the online download back to the preset to import their own Lightroom methods are as follows: The download back to the Lightroom preset decompression, in Lightroom left of the preset panel right click on a new folder (name yourself), and then right-click the folder, select Import, Find the extracted Lightroom preset files, import on it.

6. Camera Calibration configuration file

Now most digital cameras can set the image saturation, contrast, sharpness and other parameters. And different cameras have their own style in terms of these parameters. When shooting with the raw format, the RAW format specification is not publicly available because the raw format of each manufacturer is closed. So when you use a third party software to open Raw, the Third-party software does not read the camera settings, the color of the picture and the camera can see the effect of differences. To address this problem, Lightroom provides two types of camera calibration profiles for the supported camera for raw processing, namely, "Adobe Standard" and the camera calibration profile that begins with "Camera."

7. Automatic Perspective correction

Usually in the correction of image deformation, many software need to manually adjust their own, and lightroom do not need to modify the photo module has "lens correction" This function, you can automatically correct the image content. Automatically corrects the perspective of the elements in the photo, with four options available:

Automatic: Balance levels, aspect ratios, and perspective corrections

Level: Perspective correction focuses on horizontal detail

Vertical: Perspective correction focusing on vertical detail and horizontal correction

All: Combinations of all horizontal, vertical, and automatic perspective corrections

8. Soft proofing Image

When you open an image in the Modify Photo module, select the Soft proofing box in the toolbar. The preview background will be white, the proofing Preview label will appear in the upper-right corner of the preview area, and the soft proofing panel will open.

With the soft proofing function, you can preview the picture on the screen as it is printed, and modify the photo accordingly for the specific output device. Lightroom's soft proofing features allow you to see how the image is printed and adjust accordingly to reduce unexpected tonal and color differences. In the "soft proofing" mode, colors that exceed the display color range appear as blue in the Image Preview area, and colors that exceed the printer's rendering color range are displayed in red in the Image Preview area, which exceeds the color of the display gamut and the target device gamut, and is displayed as pink in the image preview area.

9. Album Design

Many users know that Lightroom has a module called an album, but it is rarely used. In fact, it is very convenient to use, through the album module, you can design photo album and upload it to the on-demand print site blurb.com, you can also store the album as Adobe PDF or a single JPEG file.
