Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a powerful and versatile program for editing and enhancing your photos, as well as compiling them into a slideshow. With an intuitive interface and plenty of built-in tips along the way, this program makes advanced editing features available to all experience levels.

Pros

Nice interface: This app provides you with a large viewing area, which is nice when you're working to perfect an image. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice accessibility of the tools you use the most. Instead, these are nicely arrayed to the left and right of the viewing area, and collapsable menus keep everything within easy reach.

Direct uploads: In addition to photo editing and slideshow creation, this program also enables you to create HTML or Flash Galleries. When they're done, these can be directly uploaded to your website straight from the app.

Photo books: Another nice feature is the option to order physical photo books through the app. You can choose to have these printed by Blurb, or you can format them to export as a PDF and then print them yourself.

Cons

Text color: Some of the text in this program can be hard to read at times because of the lack of contrast with the black background that dominates the interface. This is especially true of the Tips, which are very helpful but are printed in gray in a black pop-up window.

Bottom Line

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a good option for novices as well as veterans. It offers a comprehensive list of features in an intuitive and attractive package, and it has some nice add-ons as well. You can try this app for free for 30 days, although you do have to create a free account with Adobe to do so. If you'd like to purchase a full license, it costs $178.77.

Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4.

Finally, it looks like Adobe's bringing 'real' Photoshop to the iPad and other mobile devices, according to a report today. The cross-platform development effort was more or less confirmed by Adobe's chief product officer of Creative Cloud Scott Belsky, though the 2019 target was not.

Bloomberg calls this a 'strategy shift' as if it's a new development, but it really isn't. That shift really occurred in October of 2017 when Adobe introduced its ground-up reimagining of its batch photo-processing software, Lightroom CC, shunting the more powerful 'Classic' to the back burner. It then followed up last month with a sneak peak of its upcoming video equivalent, Project Rush.

The command to start the silent install: HPImageAssistant.exe /Operation:Analyze /Catagory:All /Selection:All /Action:Install /SoftpaqDownloadFolder:C: HPIA /Silent I've recorded this happening on a ZBook 15 G4 (happens on 840 G2, G3, G4 as well): I noticed the sp79651 HP Universal Camera Driver folder included a install.cmd that had the following code: @echo off rem Switch to batch file directory pushd%~dp0 pushd bin 'HPUCDSilent.exe' popd:done popd exit /b%ERRORLEVEL% So I ran HPUCDSilent.exe and sure enough, it didn't silently install. So I grabbed the same SoftPaq from hp.com, ran HPUCDSilent.exe and it installed silently! So there is something weird with the installer the HP Image Assistant downloads and runs. Hp support assistant silent installation.

While a more complete cross-platform version of Photoshop would likely look like Lightroom CC, it will probably work a lot like Rush: A stripped down, mobile-first interface designed to work across all devices, driven by Photoshop's desktop engine and Adobe's Sensei AI technology, with seamless handoff across devices. (Lightroom CC works in a similar fashion, but it's simply unsuited for at least one major use case, working with raw+JPEG files, so it's not really 'full Lightroom.' )

With iPad creatives defecting to apps like Affinity Photo, Adobe's been under pressure to offer a complete photo-editing solution to compete. But now's probably the right time. The market's changed a lot and the perception that desktop applications should cost more because they're weightier has given way to accepting that anything that comes with an accompanying cloud service will require you to pony up monthly.

But Adobe really needs to fix some aspects of Creative Cloud's syncing if it's going to push Rush and Photoshop as major cross-platform solutions. If you have multiple Creative Cloud accounts -- or need to work with clients who each have different accounts -- it's a major pain. Shared libraries only partially ameliorate it.

And right now, you still can't selectively sync assets. On the desktop, if you've got 50GB of assets, it syncs all of them. The only way around it is to constantly move folders in and out of the local Creative Cloud folder on a desktop. On mobile devices it syncs on demand, rather than keeping local copies of everything. Library assets and mobile creations still exist in a completely separate location from your other assets (though both are 'moving there soon').

If Lightroom CC serves as a model, don't really expect a 'full' version of Photoshop. But you really don't want that; at this point Photoshop is the Winchester Mystery House of software. What it really means is that it will use the current desktop engine (running in the cloud) so that the quality and speed of processing isn't constrained by the lack of power of the device. That's really where Adobe's advantage lies compared to many of its competitors.

The ability to work seamlessly across devices? Great. Begin stuck working in a mobile-optimized interfaces on a full-size display? Not so much. Unfortunately, we're stuck with that, as well as the lack of color management on mobile. At least for now.
