The newly released Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1 can do some magnificent magic with pictures. What are the special features over the Adobe PhotoShop CS4?
Both Lightroom and Photoshop perform different functions from each other. They exhibit their own strengths compared to each other yet they are not considered as rivals. Adobe Photoshop is well known for being a top pixel manipulator. It can create images that completely satisfy what was on your imagination. Photoshop is a great tool for image enhancing, but organizing those digital images is not part of its functions.
This is where Lightroom stands out. Adobe Lightroom performs functions such as sorting, searching and organizing digital images. It can assist you from the very start of the project up to the end. It also effectively manages your imaging workflow and setting preliminary raw file translation. These are the special features available to Lightroom and not to Photoshop.Â
