Before you start looking at the content on this page, you need to decide what you need this content for in the first place. They will be useful to you if you are:

  • A beginner photographer who doesn't know where best to start. Such people usually have questions along the lines of, "What can retouching even be? What is it for?" etc.
  • The self-taught photographer who doesn't want to waste time gathering knowledge from various articles.
  • The skilled retoucher who wants to earn remotely from photo processing and learn how to fulfill orders faster and better.

So, that's the point we've dealt with. But you may well have had another fairly reasonable question: "Which utility to choose - Photoshop or Lightroom?"

So let's answer it as well, so that you have the fullest possible picture.

Photoshop VS Lightroom

First of all, you need to understand that these are two programs created for completely different tasks. Thus, Adobe Photoshop was developed (and is still developing) primarily as a graphic editor. Lightroom has become a kind of niche tool for photographers who need a convenient utility for selecting, cataloging, and processing raw photos.

Professional photographers, as a rule, select and catalog their work in Ligthroom, do the initial processing there, and then export the photos to Photoshop, where they perform processing of details, retouching and other operations.

There are also a large number of photographers who use Lightroom exclusively in their work. And this is in general a justified approach, because if you look closer, it becomes clear that the possibilities of Lightroom are quite enough to create something extraordinary and beautiful from a very mediocre and ordinary photo.

We can say that if your goal is to perform artistic processing, retouch complex portraits, create collages, make various captions or clean up photos, then your choice is definitely Photoshop. But if you just need to process raw photos (work with color and light in them), then you can easily get by with the regular Lightroom.

What am I going to learn after studying local guides?

Once you read the content on this page carefully, you will be able to:

  • Process photos qualitatively in Lightroom and Photoshop.
  • Use sophisticated retouching techniques.
  • Apply airbrush, brushes, and Dodge & Burn techniques to make even the ugliest photo look good.
  • Adjust color grading.
  • Make your images more expressive by adjusting brightness, saturation, and contrast.
  • Use trends in processing.
  • Promote your work.

Find out where to get ideas and references.

To summarize, we can say that our guides from this subcategory will help you understand why it's so important for printers, designers, photographers, cartoonists, architects, etc. to have a complete set of tools for correcting multimedia files. Photoshop and Lightroom are extraordinary editors in which you can not only correct and retouch images, but also transform shapes, save GIF animations, use various layers and effects. These features make it easy to enhance images and apply various filters to create a colorful, sellable picture.
