Lots of ways of sorting images and building catalogues; number of creative presets; the Healing Brush is very good for simple areas; considerable control over exposure and colour; nice retrograde geotagging; radial gradient maskin

Available as traditional download; handy new features; smart previews; video slideshows

Abstract: Vous l'aurez certainement lu sur plusieurs sites/blogs, Adobe Lightroom 5 est de sortie après une courte période de béta qui aurait permis de corriger plus de 400 bugs (!). La question que vous allez rapidement vous poser, en particulier si vous utilisez...
Viele Produkte sind vor allem dank günstiger Preise die Amazon-Bestseller. Doch der Test zeigt, dass es die meisten dieser vermeintlichen Schnäppchen nie in die Top 10 der COMPUTER BILD-Bestenliste in der jeweiligen Kategorie schaffen würden. Zwar überzeu...
