Excerpt

Lightroom: Cloud Based Photo Editing

Adobe Lightroom is a cloud-based photo service. It is a much pared down version of

its fully-featured cousin Lightroom Classic. There is no doubt it is a faster and more streamlined product for enthusiasts to use across multiple desktop and mobile platforms, with plenty of powerful features so you can stay synchronised and edit your photos anywhere.

Less is Often More

The cloud-based version of the Lightroom program is as powerful an app as you could wish for. It gives you complete control of your images and you can turn a lacklustre Raw file into a colourful and dramatic photograph. We will cover the basics and get you up to speed on the new image processing benchmark.

Photographers as a general rule do not tend to like images that are way over- processed and have every preset and colour effect thrown at them. The truth is, if you want to go crazy with your processing, Lightroom has the power to do that but it also has the subtlety when you need it. The kinds of adjustments shown here, which we cover in more detail over the following pages, are a good example of less being more; allowing your images to look their best.
