Advantages

To organize and edit many photos for a short period of time is the most troublesome task for beginning photographers. Luckily, Adobe Lightroom is an ideal software if you need to create collections and lists, classify and arrange your images, and make professional color correction.

But the biggest advantage is Lightroom free presets, their way of speeding up the image editing. LR presets are similar to the Photoshop actions. You apply the selected filter to the image and get a certain effect. In comparison with PS actions, using presets is much faster. Lightroom presets free influence the certain adjustments immediately and the necessary results are achieved at once.  They are fully adjustable and can be applied to all file formats (either .jpeg or .raw).
