Lightroom vs. Photoshop - Which is the Best Photo Editor in 2023?

Adobe's Lightroom Classic and Photoshop softwares have long been the golden standard of photo editing, but both programs are not made equal. While Lightroom is more traditionally known as a place to catalog and apply basic edits to your photos, Photoshop has been known to have the capabilities to create extreme photo edits, giving users maximum control.

Because of the complexity of tools, many photographers shy away from Photoshop, which is used by more than just photographers. Because of this, Adobe has made some pretty great updates to Lightroom over the last year, making it more powerful as a standalone photo editor.

The question is, do the Lightroom updates make Lightroom sufficient enough to edit photos, or should you still be using Photoshop for photo editing? In this video, we dive deep, comparing Photoshop to Lightroom with all the most recent updates.
