Adobe Lightroom is the same product as Lightroom, but it is a more advanced version because it includes access to Adobe Creative Cloud and advanced editing tools like masking and adjusting individual colors in an image. However, Lightroom itself is an excellent photo editor, with just as many advanced features as Adobe Lightroom. Ultimately, it's up to the user to decide which version of the software is right for their editing needs.

1. Open Lightroom and select the photo you want to apply the preset to. 2. In the Develop Module, go to the Preset tab in the left panel. 3. Then, click on the + icon at the top of the Preset tab, then select “Import Preset” from the drop-down menu. 4. Select the preset file you downloaded and click on ‘Import’. 5. Find the preset among the available presets in your list and click on it to apply it to your photo. 6. Once you have applied the preset, you can adjust the settings in the Lightroom Develop Module to make further adjustments to the preset settings.

1. Utilize the presets: If you like to keep your workflow streamlined and efficient, then using custom presets is an excellent way to do just that. Presets allow you to adjust a photo’s appearance with just one click and can even be applied across multiple photos in seconds. 2. Get comfortable with your albums: Tags and Albums are great for quickly categorizing your photos. Utilizing these organizational tools can help keep your Lightroom library organized and make editing much more efficient. 3. Copy and paste settings: Each time you make edits to a photo in Lightroom, you can copy and paste those settings to other images. This is particularly useful when you need to apply the same adjustments to multiple photos that you have taken in the same lighting. 4. Smart Importing: Before adding your photos to Lightroom, consider applying Smart Previews. This feature allows you to apply some basic adjustments to your photos before fully importing them. 5. Use your device to grade photos: With the integration of the mobile apps, you can quickly grade photos on your device and make adjustments as needed. This step can save a lot of time since you can grade photos much faster on your phone than using a computer.

1. Open the histogram: The first step to correcting exposure in Lightroom is to open your photo’s histogram. To do this, simply press “Tab” on your keyboard while the photo is open in Lightroom. 2. Adjust the Highlights: Next, move the Highlights slider to the left until you see the highlights in the histogram start to shift to the left. 3. Adjust the Shadows: Then, move the Shadow slider to the right until the shadow area of the histogram shifts to the right. 4. Adjust the Whites and Blacks: To further adjust the exposure, use the Whites and Blacks sliders to adjust the white and black points in your image. 5. Adjust global exposure: Once all of the above settings are adjusted, you can use the Exposure slider to make global adjustments to the image’s exposure. 6. Preview the changes and finalize: Last, preview the changes by pressing “Y” on your keyboard and review the changes you made. If you’re happy with the adjustment, click the check mark to save it and you’re all done!
