Probably the most flexible is the Pen tool, which users can draw, bend, lengthen, or shorten to create working paths. Photoshop is renowned for its selection and masking tools. Photoshop has no equivalent for this, though you can use Adobe Bridge (which comes with it) to browse folders. You can choose to keep all your file organisation within Lightroom’s architecture (leaving local file directories alone) or manually organise them and point Lightroom in the right direction (the former is our favourite way of working). Images can be searched for in Lightroom Classic with a variety of criteria including camera settings, keywords, and ratings. Collections help to divide up groups of images, and Smart Collections go one further with the ability to input rules which allow Lightroom Classic to automatically group images with minimal fuss. However, delve into the Collections tab and you’re met with a Lightroom Classic-specific set of image folders. In the Library module you can access the same directories that are stored natively on your computer or laptop under the Folders tab.

Photographs are stored in the Library and split into Collections and Folders. Lightroom on the other hand is designed for large-scale image cataloguing and management. It also lists documents saved or shared with you via the Cloud and allows easy recalling of delete files, too. In Photoshop, users can access Cloud-synchronised photos directly from the main window in the Lightroom Photos tab under the Your Work heading.
