How to Install a Lightroom Plugin
Adobe Lightroom is a program that runs hand-in-hand with Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is an image-editing software that gives the user the power to manipulate almost anything in the image, while Lightroom controls the workflow of the images, from how the images are imported all the way to how they are displayed. And like most Adobe products, Lightroom has countless plugins that help increase its productivity.
