Lightroom or Photoshop: When to Use Which
summary
Clear rules: use Lightroom for bulk and global work—cataloging, raw profiles and presets, one‑button Auto Tone, dehaze, graduated filters, local brushes, spot healing, panorama merge with fill edges, batch auto‑sync (Classic) or copy/paste edits (cloud), plus printing templates; use Photoshop when pixels or layers matter—content‑aware removals, compositing, precise retouching, liquify, cloning and a content‑aware crop for Instagram. Lightroom stores/syncs originals to the cloud (starts at 1 TB); Classic keeps local originals and uploads smart previews.
