So step number 1 would be that you have to commit yourself to doing a thorough job. If you don't then you get lousy organization, or minimal to no organization, regardless of what software you use. You have to put the effort in to achieve organization, no matter what software you use. Lastly, in my opinion, organizing is a very human activity and while software can do parts of the organizing task, it can't do all of it, software probably can't even do half of it. If the original images are RAW, then neither software will allow you to overwrite the original image. But it sounds like you are talking about editing here (are you?) in which case Lightroom never changes the original image, while Elements does allow you to overwrite the original image if it is not a RAW image. Either can handle 100K+ photos, and can organize by whatever criteria you want.įor organizing, neither manipulates the original image. Lightroom gives you more options, and many of the organizing tools are easier to use in Lightroom than in Elements. Not only (again my opinion) does Lightroom have fewer bugs in the Library module than Elements had in the Organizer, but Lightroom has more features as well. I have used both and I would never go back to the Elements Organizer. It is my opinion that the Lightroom Library Module is a far superior piece of software than the Elements Organizer. All of your photos must be stored on your computer or attached disk, not in the cloud and the program itself runs on your computer. I posted this in the Elements forum as well, and they advised it be good to also post it here as well to get the opinion of Lightroom classic users. Thanks in advance for your advice and help in selecting the right product. Not sure if either of these applications do that, or how they handle that. Is that correct?ģ) How different is the experience in both for using as a photo organizer? I don't care much about editing, I'm just looking for something that can take 100k+ pictures, and help me organize by date, location, people, places, and potentially "things".Ĥ) I'd prefer something that doesn't manipulate the original image. Is one particular better than the other? It appears to me that Elements does the smart tagging for things beyond faces, but that LR Classic just does face recognition. Some questions I haveġ) How "smart" is the smart tagging feature in Elements? Is it able to learn anything, or are they limited, pre-canned kind of tags like "beach" and "dog"?Ģ) Both LR Classic and elements seem to do facial recognition. I like some of the features I see in Photoshop Elements, particularly the smart tag that will use machine learning to look for certain scenes, people, places, or things. I want something local, I do not want a cloud based service for now. Both seem to provide photo management and organization, but tackle it slightly differently. I've researched both Adobe Photoshop Elements and Lightroom Classic. I'm now looking to switch to something modern (and supported). For years I've been hanging on to picasa as a photo organizer, simply because it worked and I had invested a lot of time with the facial recognition to tag a lot of people.
