Simplify Photography From Shoot to Finish

Nondestructive editing environment

Set your creativity free in a nondestructive editing environment that
encourages experimentation. Your original images are always safely
unaltered, and it's easy to reverse your steps or save multiple versions
of any photo.

Superior image processing
Get
the absolute best from your images with state-of-the-art image
processing controls that work with raw files from more than 290 camera
models as well as JPEG, TIFF, and other file formats. Make precise
overall adjustments or correct targeted areas for just the look you
want. Dodge and burn, convert to black-and-white, add grain, reduce
noise, adjust sharpness, create vignettes, and more.

Intuitive environment

Be more productive and efficient, and enjoy the freedom and creativity
that comes from working with excellent tools designed specifically for
photographers. The intuitive environment and controls of Lightroom are
easy to master and let you quickly and smoothly accomplish your
essential photography tasks.

Accelerated performance

Get your digital photography tasks done fast and have more time to
shoot and promote your work. Already quick performance has been
dramatically accelerated in Lightroom 3, saving you time from first look
to final image.

Image management
Take
advantage of a powerful suite of image management features to organize
your photographs, flexibly rate and label them, and find them easily
using a wide range of metadata tags and information.

Superior noise reduction

Achieve amazing, natural-looking results from your high ISO images with
all-new state-of-the-art noise reduction technology. You won't need
more than what's built in to Lightroom 3 to get the cleanest images at
any ISO.

One-click adjustments for multiple images

Save time when processing photographs that were shot under consistent
conditions by applying the same Develop settings to all the images in a
group at once using presets or the sync feature.

Flickr integration

Use Lightroom seamlessly with Flickr, a Yahoo! service. When friends or
clients post comments and ratings on your Flickr galleries, you can
immediately see their feedback in the Lightroom 3 Library alongside your
images.

Fast performance across platforms

Speed up day-to-day imaging tasks and process your images faster by
taking advantage of cross-platform 64-bit support. Use the advanced
memory handling capabilities of the latest Mac OS and Windows operating
systems.

Develop presets
Save time by
instantly applying favorite looks to images. When you've perfected a
look that you particularly like for an image—a high-contrast
black-and-white effect or a super saturated color look, for example—you
simply save the settings as a preset and apply it to your other
photographs at any time. Many presets are included with Lightroom, and
thousands more are available from the thriving worldwide community of
Lightroom photographers and experts.

Easy-to-share slide show videos with music

Show your images to clients, friends, or family with more style and
flair using elegant slide shows with music. Slide shows are a breeze to
create, and you can share them easily by exporting them as videos, even
in high definition.

Tethered shooting

Instantly import and view images as you shoot them with tethered
capture, available for select cameras. Use it to make an immediate,
highly detailed check of your shot, the lighting, or the shooting setup.
Or get instant feedback from clients or subjects.

Tight Photoshop integration

Select one or multiple photos and then automatically open them in Adobe
Photoshop for detailed, pixel-level editing or to merge multiple photos
into a panorama, a high dynamic range photo, or a multilayered file.
After making your edits in Photoshop, see the results immediately back
in Lightroom.
