Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 2 software is designed specifically for professional and advanced amateur photographers. It is an efficient, powerful way to import, process, manage, and showcase large volumes of digital photographs. Lightroom
enables you to spend less time sorting and organizing images, so you have more time to actually shoot and perfect them.
Who uses Photoshop Lightroom 2?
First and foremost, Photoshop Lightroom 2 is a product for serious photographers, especially those who work with large volumes of digital images. These include fashion and portrait photographers; photojournalists; and wedding, landscape, and
commercial photographers as well as passionate amateur photographers who aspire to achieve the same results as the pros and who demand the same level of quality in their tools. Lightroom is also used by educators and students, as the next generation of professional photographers hone their skills in the classroom.

Work even more smoothly with Adobe Photoshop CS4 software (sold separately), switching with a single click to perform pixel-level editing.

What file formats does Photoshop Lightroom 2 support?
Photoshop Lightroom supports more than 190 native camera raw file formats, in addition to DNG, TIFF, and JPEG files — in
other words, the formats primarily used in digital cameras. In addition, Photoshop Lightroom 2 also supports the Photoshop
PSD file format for enhanced integration with Photoshop CS4. For a complete list of manufacturers and models supported in

Is Photoshop Lightroom 2 a photo-editing tool or a workflow productivity tool?
Photoshop Lightroom 2 provides a single environment that has all of the functions photographers most commonly need to
perform on their images, in the cleanest, least cluttered, easiest to use package. Lightroom contains a focused set of features
that are intuitive, powerful, and easy to learn. It is an image-editing tool and a workflow productivity tool. Photographers who
require extensive painting and compositing tools and need to edit their images at the pixel level will still use Photoshop CS4 to
achieve their additional goals.
How does Photoshop Lightroom 2 differ from Adobe Photoshop CS4?
Adobe Photoshop CS4 software is the industry standard in digital image editing. Photoshop holds an important place in the pro
photographer's toolbox, for detailed pixel-level editing and compositing, but photographers face a variety of workflow concerns
beyond image editing. Lightroom 2 addresses these needs in a photographer-centric way. Each module in Lightroom is
dedicated to an essential photographic task — use the Library for importing and managing photos; the Develop module for
fundamental photographic adjustments and processing hundreds of photographs at a time; and the Slideshow, Web, and Print
modules to easily present photos onscreen, online, or in print. Lightroom also goes further, enabling you to manage raw files,
even if they are offline, with automatic importing from the folder on your computer used for tethered shooting.
Lightroom excels at processing large volumes of photographs, creating the perfect negative, and outputting collections to the
web, print, and slide shows. Photoshop remains the ultimate pixel-level, individual image-editing, and compositing application.
Together, Lightroom and Photoshop are the comprehensive software duo for post-processing and editing of digital imagery.
For example, you may have 2,000 photographs and need to quickly preview, sort and rate them, embed your copyright on each,
correct white balance, change tonal and color values, and make monochrome copies (or add a wide array of other special
effects). Then, you need to output to a slide show, print, or the web, and all under the pressure of time constraints. For this
common type of photographic workflow, Lightroom is the ideal solution.
Now perhaps some of your photographs are destined for an advertising layout. After choosing the best images, you may need
to add a special effect to a model's eyes or change the pattern of a dress or pull the model completely away from her
background to create an intricate, multilayered composite. For this, Photoshop is the ideal solution.
