I appreciate this. You start with a sentiment I didn't realize I needed to hear; that you love editing and its your favorite hobby. If I look at my photography journey, I realize thats me too. I have a LONG way to go, but editing holds my attention for hours on end. Excited to watch the rest of your video to contrast Lr with Ps, as I've gotten pretty advanced with lightroom. I'm excited about getting better with multiple exposures and unifying colors in Ps.

Thanks, James for another awesome video. As just starting out as a portrait photographer and editing all my photos in Lightroom. They were good but didn't have that wow factor. Thought I was using the wrong program but you have just summed it all up for me. Thanks 100%

Both are great for different uses. Yes you would do basic photo edits with Lightroom Classic as well as catalog management and things like that, but when you need to do things like removing objects or people from a particular photo, you can only do that in Photoshop.

Cleared things up for me. Good one bro 👍

What a great video. I have never been able to get on with lightroom classic and always found photoshop excellent. Thank you.

This was extremely helpful!!!! I am new to photoshop and was hired to take 1000+ photos for training manuals and while the photos were simply to take, the editing has been taking me so long. I might get Lightroom to see how this helps. I like that photoshop allows me to spot remove anything that doesn’t belong. I’m a bit concerned with the fact that I used a white sheet to shoot and some photos require me to clean up anything that isn’t taught. I need to get these photos out asap

Hi and thanks for this video, I'm going nuts trying to decide which one to use. I'm an olympus user and I prefer wildlife and landscape photography, I want a faster system then the olympus workspace plus there's a few bit it cannot do. I'm now thinking Lrc for me but would appreciate your advice. Peter.

Lightroom locks you into lightroom. The photo edits live in the lightroom catalog, separate from the photo. So lightroom acts sort of like a database. I think this is a problem. Photoshop saves all edits it a PSD file. So, your edits follow your edited files. Much better in my opinion.

I have always used photoshop for editing large amounts of photos because of Camera Raw. I started using it because I had been given a copy of the CS6 master collection by an old collegue and its what I got used to. I recently upgraded camera and to my horror realised that I can't edit those RAW files in CS6 as camera raw is far too old. I upgraded to Photoshop 2022 and realised that, regardless of what I do. It absolutely throttles the life out of my poor laptop which, even though its not the best rig in the world, isnt too shabby (i7,16GB ram etc). I have been looking through the features of this new photosop and I am impressed. I am, frankly, shocked that some of its features are even possible. My issue is, I am just unable to utilise them. Even with 16GB ram and a 10GB Windows patch file, it just isnt happening. I can manage about 10 files at a time but that's just far too slow for me (because I am chronically impatient). I am hoping that switching to Lightroom Classic will help with this since it seems to be a whole lot more lightweight when compared to the sledgehammer to performance that Photoshop is. If and of you guys in the comments use LrC on a lower end PC, I would love to know your experience with it !

I'm totally a photoshop guy. Have you any new news on why delete and fill was removed from PS version 24.1 and when it might return? In the meantime, I reverted back to version 24.0.1

As a beginner to photo editing I found photoshop too difficult. I like Lightroom classic because I have a large library of family photos I want to edit. Many old ones I scanned in.

I used to be a huge user of old Lightroom classic, but I’ve been gone for a few years. What I want to do is edit my photos in the place they are stored and have them saved destructively. I don’t wanna have to export them and send them back to their original place. I want that to happen automatically Lightroom classic let me do this.??

Thank you this video. I am just starting out with bird photography. I need to sharpen and reduce noise and darker backgrounds (around a bird, so it stands out, fir exsmple). Do you have any recommendations? Thank you. Jonathan

Thank you !

can you improve image resolution in light room

It’s not entirely fair to compare Lightroom and Photoshop as competitors because they are tools that do different things. My question that lead me to find this is when would you use photoshop in the editing process and why?

It's "Which" and not "What" one.

It takes longer in photoshop because... you're doing more complicated edits!

As a graphic designer lrc is pretty useless 🫤
