Adobe Lightroom. Edit, organize and classify all your images

Last updated on 20 June 2020

Adobe Lightroom is an all-in-one photo tool that makes it easy to store, view, edit and share all your photos from any device at home, at school and wherever you need it.

This Creative Cloud tool for education offered by Adobe is a valuable sesame for all image lovers, but beyond that, a valuable tool for anyone who has to manipulate banks or series of images of any kind.

Anyone who hasn’t once ripped off their hair to find this damn image of the end of the year, of a snow class or this series of photos of students’ work should raise their fingers. Contrary to popular belief, Adobe Lightroom is not restricted to professional photographers. I would even go so far as to say that those who have a lot to gain from using this software are beginners, whether they are students, teachers or documentalists.

A tool to efficiently organize and classify all your photos.

With Lightroom you and your students will get used to classifying all your images with indexable keywords. Better yet, Adobe’s software uses the power of machine learning to automatically apply keywords. Looking for pictures of the last class of sea? You will easily find in a few seconds the photos with which you can create albums or collections on the theme of your choice.

You will be able to import all images on a memory card into the Lightroom library. It is then up to you to sort, edit this feed to keep only a selection of images. By making this selection with Lightroom, you will save a lot of time. And then you will see that a seemingly missed photo can also be recovered thanks to the editing functions built into the software.

Powerful image editing and enhancement functions for everyone.

In many cases, Lightroom could save you the day by allowing you to use a photo that, without retouching, would have been good to throw away. Light, colour, contrast, cropping, horizon line, filters. With Lightroom, in just two or three clicks, this is corrected. A powerful tool to repair, but also a great way to develop the creativity of your graphic arts students in photography or design.

The central hub of all your important … photos

… and those who are less so too. Lightroom has natural links with Other Adobe tools such as Spark which we were talking about here a fortnight ago or with the must-have Photoshop.

One of the strengths of the system is that when photos are added or modified in Lightroom, all devices connected to the library in the clouds are automatically updated. Practical. Also practice sharing functions. Simple and effective, whether you want to share an image or a series of images on social media, on a classroom blog or by email with students, parents or peers.

adobe Lightroom is a smart super organizer to help you classify, organize and archive all your images. It will also allow you to improve them and share them easily.

You can test free adobe Lightroom, you will then have to switch to a subscription. Lightroom is part of the suite Adobe Creative Cloud for Education*.
