Lightroom Mobile: A Smartphone Photography Beginner's Guide / Smartphone Photography (ePub)

Times are changing. Big cameras may still be king, but smartphones are emerging as formidable contenders, thanks to rapid hardware evolution and impressive software algorithms. They're no longer just for basic snaps; they're capable of capturing stunning shots with remarkable ease and versatility.

As smartphones morph into multi-faceted tools, even photo editing, once the domain of PCs and Macs, is evolving. With powerful apps and intuitive interfaces, everyday people are unleashing their inner artist, transforming casual snaps into stunning creations.

I'm excited to introduce Adobe Lightroom Mobile. The PC or Mac version of Lightroom stands as one of the top choices for professional photo manipulation, and while the mobile version may not be as feature-packed as its desktop counterparts, it is more than sufficient to fulfill the needs for the three phases of the process cycle covered in this book. Adobe Lightroom Mobile is particularly well-suited for the post-editing and post-processing phases, making it an excellent tool also for color grading your photos. The color grading tools, as you will soon discover, specialize in their intended purposes, giving them an advantage over their competitors in terms of effectiveness and usability.
