Lightroom gets you there with the tools you need to create great images, manage all your photographs, and showcase them with style and impact.
Create brilliant images
Above all, it's your images that matter. Make them as great as you imagined they could be using the leading-edge image processing tools in Lightroom.

State-of-the-art editing tools Create the perfect look for every image whether you shoot raw or JPEG — Lightroom includes a comprehensive range of leading-edge image processing tools. Make precise overall adjustments to color and contrast, use a flexible brush to edit targeted areas of your photo, convert to black-and-white, reduce noise, adjust sharpness, and much more.
