Lightroom helps you import, organize, manage, and find your images. In turn, Lightroom is photo management and photo editing, combined into a single tool. Unlike Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom is a non-destructive photo editor, meaning that you don’t have to worry about that pesky “save as” button.
If you are getting started with photography, Lightroom is the place to begin. You can add Photoshop to your photo editing software later. Both Lightroom and Photoshop are great software packages that have the ability to bring out your post-processing and post-production creativity.
