Lightroom organizes photos into “collections,” virtual collections of files that it can quickly search through. It stores information about keywords, previews and metadata not in each graphic file, but in a centralized database (SQLite engine).

Therefore, the database can also be contacted about the photographs that are now in the archive on DVD.
The size of the program is significantly smaller than that of Bridge, it starts faster and takes up less RAM.
In general, Lightroom is designed exclusively for photographers who are interested in processing and cataloging photos, and not integrating everything and everything.
Another feature of the Photoshop Lightroom package is the division of the process of working with images into separate stages.
Each of them has its own functional module with a corresponding set of tools and settings palettes.


Additional Information:
The functionality of the Lightroom package includes not only a RAW converter and image processing tools, but also a powerful photo cataloging system, as well as tools for creating slideshows and web pages. Like many modern RAW converters, Lightroom uses the principle of non-destructive editing.
This means that information about all operations and settings performed by the user is recorded in a service file, while the original image is saved unchanged. This approach allows not only to minimize the probability of irretrievable loss of the originals of processed images,
but also makes it possible to create and print many different versions of the same image without the need to save the corresponding number of full-fledged graphic files that quickly eat up free space on your hard drive. Upon completion of work on the image, the user can save its processed version as a separate graphic file.

The program has five modules:
Downloading, cataloging and searching photos (Library)
Correction of color and tonal parameters of images (Develop)
Create a slideshow
Print
Create Web Pages to Publish Collections of Images to the Internet (Web)
