In the 40 years since Adobe was founded, the company has become a watchword for creativity, innovation and excellence. Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard image-editing software used by creative professionals and passionate amateurs alike.

It gives photographers, digital designers, and artists ultimate creative control. With Photoshop, you can transform images pixel by pixel with powerful image editing software – retouching photos and merging illustration with photography to create contemporary art. Adobe Lightroom is aimed at photographers, with its useful combination of ‘lite’ editing tools and organisational capabilities.

With Lightroom, photographers can manage their workflows – retouching photos and creating easy-to-navigate catalogues of images for specific projects. Professional photographers often use a combination of both – Lightroom for their day-to-day workflows, and Photoshop for detailed editing work. So it’s not always a case of Lightroom or Photoshop or Lightroom v Photoshop – it can be Lightroom and Photoshop together.
