Digital photography is developing in a great way, in which manufacturers of digital raw photo file processing software are seeking to continuously update the software and provide it with capabilities that provide the photographer with the speed of working on digital raw photo file processing while achieving the maximum possible quality of output, which leads to an increase in the effectiveness of digital raw photo file processing.
Adobe, since its founding in December 1982 by Charles Geschke and John Warnock, is considered a leading manufacturer of software for editing digital photos and videos, special effects, and animation. The company has provided two programs, Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop can both edit raw photo files of different types, which made the professional photographer confused, making him resort to editing raw digital images in either of the two programs according to his personal preference Thinking that they are similar in accomplishing that task, so this research attempts to shed light on the differences between them and to identify the areas in which each program is distinguished and to make the most of each of them achieve maximum effectiveness in terms of editing digital raw photo files, coinciding with the issuance of the latest update for both programs The Adobe Lightroom program is equipped with many new features that make the user able to perform more complex processing to the digital raw photo files, without resorting to another program without compromising the quality of the raw digital image file.
