Streamlined Photoshop CS4 integration
Enjoy tight integration with Adobe Photoshop software for streamlined use of Smart Objects, panorama stitching, high dynamic range (HDR) functionality, multiple layer workflow, and more. See your edits automatically updated in Lightroom.

Retrace your editing steps

Track the changes you make to a photo in the History panel, which automatically enters easy-to-understand text as you edit. Add set points in the panel at any time so you can instantly return to those versions of the photo.

Automatically apply metadata stamps
Easily apply your preferred metadata settings to photos as you import them.

Easily group photos
Store any number of related photos as a collection by simply giving the group a name or specifying criteria that will automatically include a new photo. Recall your collections with a single click and modify them at any time.

Automatically rename files

Quickly set up naming rules, and then apply them to individual photos or groups. Even apply naming rules automatically on import.

Choose the appropriate view
Quickly browse groups of photos in Grid view. Switch to Compare or Survey view to easily and intuitively narrow down a series of photos to just the one you need. Or use Loupe view to zoom in on the finest detail of any single photo.

Organize effortlessly
Find your photos quickly with powerful yet flexible sorting, selecting, and organizing tools. Automatically import, rename, and sort your entire shoot.

Use suggested keywords
Organize your photos the way that makes sense to you. Just type keywords and apply them to individual or multiple photos. Lightroom can automatically suggest keywords based on previous keyword associations.
