Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic
Lightroom Classic gives you all the desktop editing tools you need to bring out the best in your photos. Punch up colors, make dull-looking shots vibrant, remove distracting objects, and straighten skewed shots. Easily organize all your photos on your desktop, and share them in a variety of ways. With improved performance under the hood, Lightroom Classic lets you import photos, generate previews, and move from Library to Develop Module in record time. Use range masking tools to easily select the areas or objects you want to edit based on their color, luminance, or depth. Create HDR panos faster now that you can merge multiple bracketed exposures into multiple HDR photos and then stitch them into a panorama — all in one step. Lightroom is the cloud-based service that gives you everything you need to edit, organize, store, and share your photos across any device. Photography, video, design, UI and UX, 3D and AR, and social media. Creative Cloud has everything you need.
