Whether your photography experience is newsstand magazine-level expert or family picnic-level beginner, there will always be aspects of your photos that can be improved upon. When you're capturing a moving, changing environment with unpredictable subjects and constantly evolving conditions, your images are bound to contain unplanned and unwanted facets that, while not ruining the entire photo, may detract from the final product. Then there are characteristics of every photo that can be tweaked, increased, lowered or adjusted to elevate the quality of the image — things like lighting, contrast, saturation, shadows and more. With Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, you've got the solutions you need to remove those unwanted aspects and make adjustments in an easy-to-use format that puts intuitive tools at your fingertips.You may be looking for the ability to fine-tune your photographs or you may have the intention of adding artistic adjustments to the images you've captured. Either way — and no matter what your proficiency level is — Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 gives you the freedom to edit your photos to your preference. Make unwanted objects vanish from the image with precise swipes of the advanced Healing Brush.

Add interesting and eye-catching vignette effects to emphasize the more important aspects of your image with the radial gradient tool. Take your high ISO images and create amazing, natural-looking results with the state-of-the-art noise reduction technology.

With Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, it's easy to go from simply capturing an image frozen in time to sharing a piece of your art with the world.
