This was my first time trying Lightroom (via free trial from Adobe) and I loved it! So fun! The basic editing tools felt very intutive because of familiar apps I often edit photos with, like iPhoto editing tools or VSCO Cam. The real wow-factor came from the advanced techniques and tools- really impressed with the quality and ease of use of Lightroom.
