Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Adobe Lightroom
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.
 * I've chosen to edit this article because I think there should be more information specifically about Lightroom Presets. As a photographer, presents are instrumental to the editing process and many photographers have even begun selling their own presents online to audience members. There is a huge market for presets on Instagram, which led to the launch of the Lightroom mobile app, offering photographers more manipulation abilities than creative apps like VSCO or Facetune.

 * its has room to improve. I think it's the perfect article to take on for this project and could really benefit photographers or hobbyists looking for more information on Lightroom.
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * it has a good review of the version history and has a good timeline graphic. the lead is fine and the article itself get a fair amount of traffic (600-700 views per day)
