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.

Target specific areas of your photos for precise adjustments, or enhance overall color, exposure, and tonal range nondestructively on more than 190 camera raw file formats, as well as JPEG, TIFF, and PSD.
