Thanks to the excellent quality of smartphone cameras these days, we take so many pictures when we’re on holiday, with friends, or just when we see something that we want to remember. Sadly, the results aren’t always as good as we’d hope, and there’s the problem of how you can easily share the images with your family or friends.
Yes, there are plenty of photo-editing options around that can help fix the problems, but they can be expensive or have too many options and features for someone who just wants to quickly remove something or have the colours and lighting look their best. Well, that’s why Adobe offers its Lightroom app – all the power to make your photos look professional, with none of the complications.
How Adobe Lightroom can instantly improve your photos
One of the main aims of Adobe Lightroom is that anyone can get amazing looking photos, no matter their skill level. This is evident with the new features recently added, which use AI-technology to make editing tasks that were previously only available to experts now accessible to even the least technically adept user.
Here’s some of the highlights of what you can easily achieve with the Intelligent Creative Assistance and Quick Actions capabilities in Adobe Lightroom.
Improve Landscape Photos:
If you’ve taken a great landscape shot, but the image isn’t as impressive as you expected, the new Scene Enhance feature can quickly save the day. This allows you to select specific parts of the image – sea, water, ground, etc. – then enhance those elements. This means in only a few clicks you can have the sky be as blue and stunning as you remember in the actual scene.

Easily remove people or items from the backgrounds of photos:
The Generative Remove tool is a marvel, as it can instantly identify people and items spoiling the look of an image, then highlight them all so you can have them removed with a single click. That’s not all, the generative part of the name refers to how the AI can fill in the areas where the obstacles were, so that it magically looks like they were never there.

Make portraits looks instantly better:
Another of the Quick Actions available in Adobe Lightroom is Retouch Portraits. This tool can automatically detect and suggest enhancements in solo or group portraits. Want to whiten teeth, smooth out skin, remove reflections from surfaces or bring more life into someone’s eyes? Lightroom can do this in a matter of seconds. Plus, you can apply the enhancements to a single person in the shot, rather than a blanket fix.

Adobe Lightroom makes it so easy to share photos
You know the story. After getting back from a holiday with friends, you want to share the photos you captured while away. But this often means scrolling through your camera roll and often missing some of the images due to the clutter.
With Adobe Lightroom’s mobile apps, the edited images are added to dedicated albums, so you’ll never lose them again. These albums can also be personalised, with themes to fit the collection you’ve created.
When you’re done, they can be shared with a link or QR code, so friends can see the collection. Not only that, everyone can also add their own comments, likes or photos to the album, even if they don’t have a Lightroom subscription.
Sign up for a free 7-day trial of Adobe Lightroom
As you can see, there’s so much you can do with Adobe Lightroom, which is no surprise as it was the winner of the 2024 Mac App of the Year in the recent Apple App Store Awards. While a monthly subscription is a very reasonable $11.99/£11.99 per month, you don’t have to pay a penny to try out all the features, as Adobe offers a 7-day free trial which gives you access to the mobile, desktop and web versions of the app as well as Lightroom Classic.
If you want your photos to look their best, but don’t have the time or skills to make that happen, Adobe Lightroom is the answer.
