Photoshop Lightroom Feature Highlights

1. Digital Photography Import
   
   

   • Robust tools to handle large shoots
     Speedily process high-volume shoots by automatically importing images whenever media cards or cameras are connected to your computer. Then automatically rename files, organize folders, and make nondestructive adjustments as images are imported.

   • Automatic conversion to DNG
     If desired, automatically convert your images from proprietary file formats to the publicly available Digital Negative (DNG) format as they are imported, or easily export photographs from your Library in DNG format.

2. Digital Photo & Content Management
   
   

   • Easy File Renaming
     Make your photographs easier to find and keep in sensible order using the Lightroom renaming feature. Simply set naming rules, and Lightroom automatically renames your images as they're imported.

   • Metadata Information Stamping
     Organize and annotate your images by adding metadata to a single photo or to groups of selected images. Save metadata sets as presets, which you can apply with one click.

   • Multiple Viewing Features
     Quickly find and select your best shots with flexible display options like the Grid view for groups of thumbnails, the Loupe view for zeroing in on fine detail in a single image, or the Compare view for displaying two or more images side by side.

   • Photo Keyword synchronization
     Make keywords consistent even if you're using Lightroom on two different computers by importing and exporting keyword sets to external, transferable files.

   • Manage Your Images Offline
     Work with your image library in Lightroom even when some or all of the actual photo files are stored on offline media.

3. Photo Development
   
   

   • Enhanced White Balance, Exposure, and Contrast Controls
     Quickly perfect white balance, exposure, and tone curves in your images, including camera raw files, with familiar slider controls, or enter numeric values for the most precise adjustments.

   • Advanced hue, saturation, and luminance editing
     Enhance color saturation and remove color casts in your images with individual control over six color ranges each for hue, saturation, and luminance.

   • Fast Zooming
     Check sharpness, noise, or small details with nearly instant zooming--a simple keyboard command or mouse click toggles between 100% magnification and a full-image view. Smoothly navigate highly magnified areas using the Hand tool in the photo preview pane.
