Compared to Photoshop? I have CC2014.

Photoshop isnt necessary.  Light room does 99% of what you need done and gimp the rest

I can also send the shot immediately to the device to post on social media, or text, or whatever. I really got it for several reasons.

 

Works the same on my end, but I shoot raw so they hit my pc first.

I sing a Halsey cover of Justin Bieber at karaoke.

 

I felt the need to share this.  Judge me as you will.

I used to use gimp. When I tried PS I never used gimp again. Everything about Photoshop is worlds better.

I know you and Matt love lightroom. I am just wondering if it is worth it for me to hack... err, buy lightroom.

Huh. I had no idea Lightroom was an Adobe Product.

Plus, why use Lightroom when you can use the Instagram filters?

The only thing processing wise i use gimp for is removing people from merged pictures the rest of all editing i do in lightroom

Yep, released originally as a catalog system for photo's and then everyone realized that Photoshop sucks for general editing and white balance adjustment so they released those capabilities in the "pre" editing software and called it lightroom.  Fundamentally it is a white balance correction software that lets you do 99% of what you would need Photoshop for with a VERY small learning curve.

If you haven't played with Gimp lately you will be surprised, it does 95% of what photoshop does.  It is confusing if you are used to photoshop, but the price more than pays for it and if you run it in linux it pucking rips.

That is a joke right?

[nem 2,019]

Seems legit

[MKader17 332]

Instagram has about 80% of Lightroom's capabilities Id say

So, since I have been super fat there is all this new stretchy work out gear.

 

Where the fuck has this been my whole life.

 

When I used to lift I was forced to use thick ass rash guards or make my own workout clothes.

 

Imma be head to toe spandex.

I just checked and the most critical ones it doesn't.  White balance adjustment is lame.

[///M5 2,833]

The recommendations to overexpose a picture to use one of their filters is pucking stupid as well.  ALWAYS underexpose.  You can crank up the dynamic range in lightroom, you can't get detail back where it is washed out.

That I also forgot Seth.  Set your exposure down 1/3 or 2/3 before shooting.  I use 1/3 for people and 2/3 to a full for landscapes.

Obviously when the lighting is superb you can skip that, but that is in about .0001% of all pictures I shoot.

Please, I know thats why you got the WiFi option .

[MKader17 332]

All about them filters yo.

[MKader17 332]

In all seriousness, if I'm taking a shot of a room, what's the best way to capture it with the light fixtures in the photo and not have them be beacons of over exposure 

[Godsmack 360]

Expose for the darker areas, or use external out of frame light.
