Most of the time when someone talks about RAW photo editing, Lightroom is the name that pops into mind. Lightroom is one of the most popular photo editors used by photographers of all experience levels. Containing a wide variety of editing tools, Lightroom is easy to use and quick at what it does.

Luminar is also one of the best you can use. It adds its own set of features and easy controls to Lightroom’s interface, allowing you to add a little more flair to your photos. It’s especially recommended for those who want a quick and simple way to make their photos look like they’ve undergone some serious editing. Luminar allows this with its impressive collection of presets that provide one-click editing solutions. Aurora HDR Sometimes, you’re presented with a great scene but the lighting just isn’t working for you.
Your photos come out either too bright or too dark, leaving much to be desired. In these situations, HDR photography is the best solution. Simply take multiple photos of the scene at different exposures and blend them using an HDR editor to get a balanced exposure. Lightroom can do this, but it doesn’t provide in-depth controls like a dedicated HDR processor does. That’s where comes in.
Aurora HDR is one of the greatest Adobe Lightroom plugins you can use if you’re a landscape or architectural photographer, as it puts easy-to-use controls at your fingertips. Photolemur If you’re a beginner photographer and find Lightroom’s controls a little too daunting, then the is just the thing you need. This photo editor is famous for its automatic editing powers. Once you drop your photo into the application, it analyzes multiple elements of the image and makes its own enhancements automatically. With the Photolemur Lightroom plugin, you can quickly change how your photos look without having to do anything. Its Color Recovery, Sky Enhancement, Exposure Compensation, Foliage Enhancement, and Smart Dehaze tools each focus on a particular aspect of your photo, and the Artificial Intelligence engine does all the work for you.

The redder a photo, the more in focus it is. If you’re an avid Instagrammer, then this plugin is for you.
