Photoshop Lightroom 2 is a professional image-editing and workflow
productivity tool for importing, processing, managing, and showcasing
large volumes of digital photographs. Professional photographers,
photojournalists, and advanced amateur photographers use Photoshop
Lightroom to process many photographs at once and output collections to
the web, print, and slide shows. Users can manage and organize video clips from most digital SLR cameras alongside still photos.
Each module in Photoshop Lightroom is dedicated to a specific task:
- The Library module allows users to import and manage photos. Batch processing tools allow users to import large quantities of photos from cameras or camera cards and automatically rename files, organize them into folders, and make nondestructive adjustments. The Library's Publishing Manager allows publishing of photos to Flickr, SmugMug, and Facebook and downloading comments from those sites back to Lightroom.
- The Develop module allows users to make fundamental photographic adjustments to single photographs or groups of photographs. Among the adjustments available are tone, hue, saturation, luminance, contrast, brightness, sharpness, noise reduction, and profile-based lens correction.
- The Slideshow, Web, and Print modules allow users to present photos onscreen, online, or in print. Users can display photos in an HTML or Flash-compatible web gallery and export the gallery directly to the web. Flexible print packages allow users to quickly arrange a photo for printing multiple sizes on one or many pages with customizable templates.
Photoshop Lightroom uses a catalog model to store information about images, meaning that files can be offline and photos do not need to be moved or copied when they are imported. The Photoshop Lightroom catalog keeps track of where original photos are located, whether they are on a local hard drive or not.
Photoshop Lightroom supports more than 190 native camera raw file formats, in addition to DNG, TIFF, and JPEG files. It also supports the Photoshop PSD file format for enhanced integration with Photoshop CS5.
For some Canon and Nikon cameras, Lightroom supports tethered capture, meaning that photographers can use the Lightroom interface to trigger the camera shutter and capture photos directly to Lightroom, with specified color balance adjustments, metadata, and keywords.
