What is best photo editing software for pc
Best PHOTO Editing Software for PC and MAC!
hey guys I'm Sarah Allen news leader
let's talk about my best image editing
software that you can use it CC or Mac
to edit your images so if you're unhappy
with the software that you're using for
editing images what if you want to know
about more software or if you want to
change your editing workflow I recommend
to watch the video till the end and I'm
sure it will help you so without wasting
any time let's get started so the first
software we are going to talk about is
Adobe Lightroom now Adobe Lightroom is a
very very powerful image editing
software Adobe Lightroom can be used to
edit RAW files to edit JPEGs let's see
what we are talking about so here is
it's a raw file as you can see dot nef
that's a raw file from anicon so you can
extract details you can play with the
whites and blacks you can adjust the
overall exposure you can change the
contrast and you can also play with
colors so this is the basic
post-processing that you can do in
Lightroom
again you have much more advanced tools
like you have curves adjustment layer
you also have graduated nd filters
remember this is not a very in-depth
video about Lightroom this is just a
video where I cover all the software's
and you get a basic idea of what this
software is about right
so in Adobe Lightroom as you can see
very quickly I'm able to transform the
image and I'm able to bring all the
details and the colors that weren't
present in the raw before
post-processing right so you can also
sharpen the images again the sharpening
algorithm that Lightroom uses is again
very good you can have tons of features
as you can see and if you're new to
Lightroom it might seem a bit confusing
but the thing is you have to practice ok
Lightroom is not very difficult the
overall user experience is very very
good and very easy to understand so if
you're new to Lightroom I have a
separate video on how to edit images in
Lightroom but the point is it's so easy
that with just one or couple of weeks of
practice you will be able to edit images
in Lightroom and you will see that you
are able to edit the MA
in a very very fluid manner the overall
workflow is very smooth and the editing
capabilities is just amazing you can see
with just couple of minutes of editing
I'm able to transform the image from
this to this so yeah it's a huge
difference you also have different
presets here available again you can use
any of these presets then you can tweak
the look according to you like the look
you want so it all depends what kind of
look do you want what kind of editing do
you require but for most of the image
editing for all the color Corrections
for extracting all the details Lightroom
is one of the best software's that in
the market right now so if you're new to
editing I would suggest use the Adobe
Lightroom because it's a very very good
software the next software that we are
going to see is Adobe Photoshop now
Adobe Photoshop is a very different
software okay
Adobe Photoshop is a very advanced image
editing software many people ask me this
question sort of what do you use do you
use Lightroom or Photoshop my answer to
them is I use both of this subject
because both are very different and I
use both the software for different
purpose let's see what I'm talking about
so if you want to open a raw file with
Adobe Photoshop it directly doesn't open
the raw file ok you will see Camera Raw
you cannot open the raw file with
Photoshop if you don't have the Camera
Raw plug-in install Camera Raw is again
similar to Lightroom it doesn't look
like Lightroom the interface of
Lightroom is much better but overall the
set of features that you have in Camera
Raw is very very similar to Adobe
Lightroom right so once you are done
with all the basic color Corrections and
exposure Corrections you can open the
image and it will open in Photoshop as
earlier okay so Photoshop as I said is a
very advanced software let's see what we
are talking about so as I said Photoshop
has tons of features be more than what
Lightroom has and Photoshop is meant for
different kind of image editing not only
for basic Corrections but also for
different things like you can also add
text okay which you can't do in Adobe
Lightroom you can maybe
select certain things with the quick
selection tool and then you can only
affect that particular layer so for
example if I want to brighten up only
the foreground and not the sky then I
can do that now I'm not going to teach
how I do all these things in this video
because that will take too much amount
of time but you get the overall idea
right it's meant for advanced image
processing like for example suppose you
want to add soft blue what you can do is
you can select a color you can just
paint it change the blending mode to
soft light and reduce the opacity and
you get that soft blue the purpose of me
showing you what adobe photoshop can do
is very different okay from image
editing perspective and obby photoshop
has tons of features you have Camera Raw
where you can edit the raw files and you
can do a lot of things ok there are
great Photoshop channels on YouTube you
can do a lot of things on Photoshop like
image manipulation you can remove
objects you can add objects you can add
layers so it depends on what kind of
image editing do you want ok if you only
want color Corrections if you only want
to extract the details from a raw file
use Adobe Lightroom I don't think you
need Adobe Photoshop but if you want to
add watermark
if so I have a watermark so if you want
to add watermark you can do it in
Lightroom ok so all these things like
it's very difficult to do them in
Photoshop or sorry I meant Lightroom but
it's very easy to do it in Photoshop
right Photoshop is a very advanced
software again as I said and it will do
the job but Photoshop takes time ok
Photoshop is not an easy software to
learn you will need practice if you're
new again Lightroom will be a very easy
software to learn but Photoshop will
take some practice and you have to spend
some time learning all these different
features all these different tool sets
that's present here so yes if you are
willing to spend the time learn
Photoshop also because Photoshop is
again one of the best image editing
software the next
after that we are going to talk about is
Google Lick so Google Lick I'm not using
it as a completely different software
but but I'm using it as a plugin in
Adobe Photoshop Google Inc was a paid
software but now it is free and the link
will be in the description you can
download it from there
so for using Google Nick you have to
install it in Photoshop and use it as a
plugin you can also use different
software's and use that as a plugin but
I use Adobe Photoshop so Google Nick has
again various features like you have
defined - defined - is used for
sharpening in this video I will show you
color Efex Pro for because that's what I
use most of the times but you have lot
of things you have HDR Efex Pro for
making HDR images you have Silver Efex
Pro that's a very very good software for
making black and white images if you
want to sharpen your images and if you
want more control sharpener Pro is a
great tool so it has tons of tools let
me show what color Efex Pro 4 does so
once you open the Google Nick I mean the
color F Explorer you will see there are
certain tabs and there are lot and lots
of features so let's talk about the
favorite features I have you can select
any favorite feature by just clicking on
the start button and those features will
be visible in the favorite Tab pro
contrast in Google Nick is very very
effective tool for giving different
types of contrast ok you not only have a
single contrast slider like you had in
Photoshop and Lightroom I mean in Camera
Raw and Lightroom but here you can do a
lot of things with Pro contrast you can
again use classical soft focus for just
giving it a soft look so I'm not
explaining you all the features about
the software but I'm telling you what
are things you can do for what purpose
can you use this softwares google nick
is not used for editing RAW files but
once you are done with basic color
correction of RAW files you can then use
google lick to add all these different
kind of effects to add different kind of
contrast right to give that look which
you can't do with Adobe Photoshop and
Lightroom ok
it's very very advanced when compared to
Photoshop and Lightroom to produce all
these effects Google Nick now has been
stopped developing from the Google team
and that's sad but still Google Nick is
one of the best software that I found in
the market right now it's very helpful
to again quickly give it a very dramatic
look with just certain clicks we can
transform the image to something very
very amazing so Google Nick yes it's a
very good tool and if you're not using
it I don't know why you're not you
should use it so if you're not using
Google Nick go ahead and download
because Google Nick has very again
amazing features like color Efex Pro and
HDR effects as I said in the video
before and with just simple clicks you
can transform the image so just see with
one single plug-in that's color if
explore for look at it inside the Google
Nick I'm able to bring out much more
details and make the image look more
natural so I hope you understood what
Photoshop is capable of what Google Nick
is capable of and what Lightroom is
capable of now let's see the next
software in the list that is the capture
one Pro now capture one Pro is again a
very very similar software to Adobe
Lightroom it is also software which will
help you to extract details which will
help you to extract the colors and edit
your RAW files and JPEGs but sometimes I
feel capture one Pro is slightly faster
and better in terms of quality as
compared to Lightroom okay because
Lightroom has not been updated since a
long time
and I personally have shifted to capture
and Pro from Lightroom now and I feel
capture one Pro is able to produce
better quality results let's see what we
are talking about so this is again an
unedited image and this is how it looks
in Lightroom so if you compare the
original look of the raw file in
Lightroom and in capture one Pro you can
see the colors are bit more saturated
and it looks a bit better in capture one
straight out of the camera again
you can achieve the similar looks with
both these software's don't get mistaken
but
out of the camera the raw files look
better in capture one true so again in
capture one pro you have all these
shadow sliders you have all the
highlights sliders you have contrast
saturation you have the same curves
adjustment layer I mean curves layer you
have a lot of things in capture one Pro
like you had in Adobe Photoshop you have
sharpening tools you have again Hallows
operation that's not present in
Lightroom so I really like the Hallows
operation that's present in capture one
Pro and that's not present in Adobe
Photoshop as well and not in Lightroom
you also have color balance so you can
change the colors as you want I'm not
doing that of course but I'm just saying
you have color balance and you have all
these options that you don't have in
Adobe Lightroom okay color correction is
very very superior in capture one Pro as
compared to Adobe Lightroom now this is
my personal preference okay you might
like Lightroom better than capture one
Pro but I still feel for professional
use capture one Pro is slightly better
than Adobe Lightroom okay as I said
capture one Pro is a similar software to
Lightroom but Lightroom is a software
which is very easy to understand because
the UI the user interface is very very
easy and very very nice so whereas in
capture one Pro it might seem a bit
overwhelming because the settings are
the same but the UI is a bit different
so if you're new to editing I would
suggest directly don't go to capture one
Pro learn Adobe Lightroom and if you
feel Adobe Lightroom is not giving you
the results you can try capture one Pro
to the next software that we are going
to talk about is Lumina Lumina was
exclusive for Mac but now the beta
version for Windows has been released
and soon the full version will be out
and I have tried luminaire for the last
week and I think it's a very powerful
software although it's a very new
software comparatively when you compare
it to Lightroom or Photoshop but I think
the features might excite you let's see
what we are talking about so when you
open luminol you get this particular
screen what you see in the right hand
side is very similar to Lightroom or
Camera Raw or capture one Pro
you have all the similar sliders as you
would get with any other image editing
software okay this is nothing new it's
the same thing that you saw in the other
softwares but this software has certain
different set of features which again
you might like because it might make
your image editing workflow a bit more
smoother and bit more quicker so why I
am saying this is because you also have
different kind of presets so for example
if you want more presets you can click
here and it will take your link so from
there you can download more presets and
you can also use presets like for
example if I like the look of sky
enhancer I can then again tweak the
plug-in so you can use a plug-in you can
tweak it settings if you want the amount
to be less you can dial the amount to
the amount that you want and you will
get a preset look but with your
adjustments on it so this is a software
which can be used for raw editing as
well I'm not saying that this is as good
as capture one Pro or Lightroom for
editing RAW files but it is
comparatively a very good software
because not only it has roiled eating
capabilities but also you get different
presets so if you're a fan of presets if
you want something quicker if you want
something faster and easier
try luminar ok lumina is again a very
powerful software and if you feel you're
not happy with the software that you're
using right now switch to Lumina and see
if it's helping out
so all these softwares are great and
what is the best depends on what kind of
image editing do you need what are you
comfortable with what do I do is I take
the raw files in capture one Pro or
Adobe Lightroom I slightly prefer
capture went pro now then I color
corrected I correct the contrast the
exposure and then I bring it into
Photoshop if I want to add some
watermark or want to do more advanced
manipulation more advanced editing I use
Google Lick a lot for getting those
local contrast for getting that dramatic
look and that's it probably I do not use
any other softwares most probably I feel
these are the software's that are
very good right now for editing and I
hope this video will help you to select
the D software that you need for your
image editing so I hope this video
helped you to decide what software
should you use for your image editing
and if this video helped you and if you
