  • DV Magazine

    DV Magazine

    "Lightroom is the ideal application to store, organize, adjust, crop and prepare stills for video editing."

    DV Magazine, Oliver Peters, July 2012

     

  • Arkansas Democrat Gazette

    Arkansas Democrat Gazette

    "Lightroom is great for pros or even for not-so-pros who are looking to show off their photography skills and share them with family and friends."

    Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Melissa L. Jones, June 18, 2012

    "There's a lot to like about the latest Lightroom. Maybe the biggest news, though, is the new lower price—the full version of Lightroom 4 is just $149 (down from $299), or upgrade for $79."

    Digital Photo, Wes Pitts, April 24, 2012

    Digital Home Thoughts

    "Adobe's Lightroom 4 has now matured quite a bit and, for me, the biggest piece of news is in finally getting Nikon NEFs right. The workflow is fast, and I can see why many photographers are enamoured of it."
    Digital Home Thoughts, Lee Yuan Sheng, June 5, 2012

  • ASMP Quarterly

    ASMP Quarterly

    "Lightroom 4 is an amazing program that keeps improving in meaningful ways with every new release.  For new users, Lightroom 4 is a perfect time to come aboard. For existing users, the $79 upgrade price makes it essentially a non-decision."
    ASMP Quarterly, John Jerney, May 31, 2012
