The premier asset manager
Adobe’s Lightroom has never been an easy application to explain to the uninitiated, but we’ll give it a shot. Lightroom 4 is, at its core, two things: a DAM (digital asset manager) and a raw-file developer. Sure, it also comes with new or updated modules for mapping and creating books, slide shows, and the like, but the key features are its Library and Develop modules.
Lightroom 4.0 allows you to bulk-edit images quickly so you don’t have to sit in one photo for hours.Unlike a pure photo editor such as Photoshop CS6, Lightroom will change your photo workflow significantly. Gone are the days of “open file A, adjust file A, save file A, close file A, open file B...” ad nauseam. In fact, it doesn’t even make much sense to think of files as being “open” or “closed” when working in Lightroom. This new workflow makes it possible to handle huge volumes of images quickly and easily and in a truly nondestructive manner.
Lifelong nerds may not be comfortable letting Lightroom 4 do all their image management, but once you learn to trust it and let go, Lightroom 4 makes it possible to get a ton more work done. In the end, as you use Lightroom 4, you’ll learn to like the way it organizes things.
Furthermore, Lightroom 4 makes it possible to create multiple versions, and still only save a single master file to the drive. If you love testing different treatments of the same image, then comparing them to find the best, Lightroom 4 will save you a lot of disk space over time.
Major changes in this version of Lightroom include an upgraded process version, a new map module for geotagging, a book module for basic books, and enhanced video support in the Library and on export.
Perhaps the most important feature to a photographer is the new
