Having used both apps extensively, I’ll compare their AI features in this comprehensive guide.
From basic edits to advanced fixes, you’ll get the full scoop.
Let’s now cover both of these in detail.
Adobe/Adobe/ Adobe Firefly
Lightroom
Lightroom’s best basic AI editing feature is its noise-removal tool.
Lightroom also uses AI to automatically adjust your white balance.
Lightroom has an automatic straightening tool, which I use quite often, and it usually delivers accurate results.
The app also has red eye correction.
Photoshop
Photoshop has many of the same AI editing tools as Lightroom.
For example, if you use Camera Raw, you could automatically adjust the brightness and colors.
Lightroom’s automatic straightener is really useful, and I particularly like using Auto Contrast in Photoshop.
By far my most frequently used AI repair tool in Lightroom is the Healing feature.
It’s pretty helpful if you only have a few small adjustments.
Photoshop also has a handful of AI retouching and healing pictures.
From personal experience, I have found that its Spot Healing feature is much more efficient than Lightroom.
After tapping your screen, the image will fix itself within a few seconds.
So, if you have multiple areas to change, it’s a much better option.
Since Lightroom doesn’t have these kinds of features right now, Photoshop wins this one.
In Lightroom CC, you get generative removal tools.
Meanwhile, Photoshop lets you remove the background in your images if you’d like.
Photoshop also has Generative Fill and Object Selection.
Winner:Lightroom
Photoshop narrowly beats Lightroom when tallying up the points for each section.
However, both apps work better together rather than against each other.
The Spot Healing tool in Photoshop is excellent, but I like Lightroom’s Denoise tool.
Meanwhile, Photoshop’s automatic color and tone edits are better than what Lightroom offers.
And if you want to make more advanced AI photo edits, you should pick Lightroom.
