 Major Features:

1. Organize effortlessly: Find your photos quickly with powerful yet flexible sorting, selecting, and organizing tools. Automatically import, rename, and sort your entire shoot.
   • Efficient importing

   • Automatically apply metadata stamps: Easily apply your preferred metadata settings to photos as you import them.
   • Standardize on DNG: Automatically convert photos from proprietary file formats to the universal Digital Negative (DNG) format on import. Or convert photos already in your library to DNG format at any time.
   • Streamline import/export: Easily save your frequently used settings such as metadata, keywords, naming rules, and more. Apply your presets anytime, including on import, and create custom export presets.
   • Simple categorizing
   • Automatically rename files: Quickly set up naming rules, and apply them to individual photos or groups. Even apply naming rules automatically on import.
   • Use custom keywords: Organize your photos the way that makes sense to you. Just type keywords and apply them to individual or multiple photos.

   • Enjoy comprehensive metadata support: Access and edit a comprehensive set of metadata fields, including standard IPTC, EXIF, and XMP data.
   • Powerful photo management
   • Choose the appropriate view: Quickly browse groups of photos in Grid view. Switch to Compare or Survey view to easily and intuitively narrow down a series of photos to just the one you need. Or use Loupe view to zoom in on the finest detail of any single photo.
   • Rearrange a group of images: Organize photos in Grid view by simply selecting and dragging a group of images to a new location.
   • Take a closer look: Zoom in on your photo with one click of a mouse or a simple keyboard command. Preview highly magnified areas with the convenient Navigator.
   • Create virtual copies: Create as many virtual copies of your original or master image as you want without taking up more than a few kilobytes of hard-drive space.
   • Manage offline photos: Work with your photo library even if the original photos are stored offline. Easily manage images stored across multiple drives.
2. Correct, enhance, edit: Enhance specific areas of a photo, or precisely adjust overall color, exposure, and tonal range. All adjustments are nondestructive, allowing your originals to be preserved.
   • Nondestructive editing
   • • Easily compare before and after versions: View an original photo side-by-side with the edited version as you make adjustments, or split the photo into before and after states.
     • Precisely convert color to black and white: Beyond simple desaturation, convert color photos to grayscale by precisely controlling the color channel mix with six sliders.
     • Fine-tune hue, saturation, and luminance: Enhance color saturation and remove color casts with individual control over six color channels each for hue, saturation, and luminance.
     • Adjust tone with ease: Watch real-time previews as you adjust highlights, midtones, and shadows with sliders or by entering numeric values.
     • Eliminate specks: Erase dust spots with a single click.
     • Remove red eye: Instantly fix red eye in flash photos.
     • Edit large numbers of photos at once: Make the same changes across many photos by applying a Develop setting to them all, or make changes to one photo and then synchronize the adjustments to other photos you select.
     • Retrace your editing steps: Track the changes you make to a photo in the History panel, which automatically enters easy-to-understand text as you edit. Add set points in the panel at any time so you can instantly return to those versions of the photo.
3. Showcase your talent: Present your work in dynamic slide shows and interactive web galleries, or use flexible templates to create prints. Easily upload your photos to popular online photo-sharing sites using plug-ins.
