Adobe editing suite

Lightroom is Adobe's photo editing and management software, widely used by photographers to organize, process, and enhance digital images.

The name evokes a darkroom—the traditional space for developing film—updated for the digital age.

I spent the evening in Lightroom adjusting exposure and color grading.
