Similar to the desktop version of Lightroom, there are many options to allow you to edit your photo as you wish. Lightroom allows you to tweak many aspects of your photos, including exposure, highlights, shadows, saturation, contrast and more. Along with options to fine-tune your photos, the Lightroom app also has presets edits that have those changes built in. These preset edits can be extremely useful when editing a photo as they allow you to get that final look you were looking for when you started editing the photo.
