Using Lightroom and Photoshop Is Overkill for Most Photographers: Here's Why
1 min read
Summary
For those interested in photography and photo editing, Lightroom and Photoshop are two of the most recommended software options to consider.
While professional photographers often use both, it may be unnecessary for those who take photos casually.
Here are ten reasons why you may only need Lightroom as a casual photographer, including the fact that you only really need Photoshop for retouching, Lightroom’s auto-enhance features are better, Camera Raw is effectively the same as Lightroom, Lightroom is more streamlined for casual photographers, transferring photos from Lightroom to Photoshop can be time-consuming, and Photoshop isn’t great for editing smartphone photos.
Consistency is key when editing photos, so choosing one software and sticking with it can help streamline your workflow and result in better edits.
