Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for Mac is any photographer's dream application come true.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for Mac allows both professional and advanced photographers to import, store, organize, edit and export thousands of pictures from one uncluttered interface. You can create sets and collections to store your pictures and add tags to every individual photo. The timeline view at the bottom is a great way to quickly browse through pictures.
Editing tools are located on the right of the interface. The Library section works wonders to adjust things like white balance, exposure or vibrancy quickly. For advanced editing you'll have to go to the Develop section though. This is where you'll be able to correct details, camera calibration, split toning and more. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for Mac lets you create virtual copies so you can edit elements without affecting the original.
Adobe's photo management tool also includes a section to create your own slideshow, including transitions and overlays. Although it creates nice slideshows it feels a bit counter-intuitive. We also liked how in-depth the print settings were, letting you adjust things like margins or print resolution very precisely. The last section allows you to optimize your photos for the web and create a flash gallery and a postcard viewer among others. It includes integration with sites such as Faceback and Flickr although not Picasa and iPhoto.
Thanks to an excellent structure, advanced editing tools and features to print, publish to web and create a slideshow, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for Mac is one of the best photo management programs out there.
