The Samsung Galaxy S23 is a premium device, with improved specs and features that make it hard to ignore. But it has also been receiving a lot of criticism for its defaults that have users of the device stuck with Adobe Lightroom as the default photo-editing application. Whether you like it or not, Adobe Lightroom comes pre-installed on the Samsung Galaxy S23, and it’s hard to avoid if you want to take advantage of the camera features.
Adobe Lightroom is a great software for making quick edits to your photos. It has a simple and intuitive interface and is packed with features like crop, rotate, and select tools, filters, presets and more. It also supports RAW files, which is great for professionals, as well as allowing you to sync your work across devices.
Unfortunately, on the Samsung Galaxy S23, Adobe Lightroom is the default photo-editing application, and it’s hard to avoid if you want to take advantage of the camera features. Samsung has not officially detailed the reasons behind their decision to make Adobe Lightroom the default photo editor, but it’s likely that they see Lightroom as the industry standard and a reliable choice for professionals.
However, this one-size-fits-all approach that Samsung has taken with the Samsung Galaxy S23 doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. Smartphone photographers have varying needs and preferences when it comes to editing their photos, and not everyone will be comfortable with the preset editor that is Adobe Lightroom.
Fortunately, there is a way to change the default photo-editing application on the Samsung Galaxy S23. To do this, you need to go to settings and tap ‘Default applications’. Once you’re in the ‘Default applications’ menu, you can choose which app you want to set as your default editor. Keep in mind however, that setting a new application as the default editor will disable some of the editing resources that are provided by Adobe Lightroom.
Overall, setting Adobe Lightroom as the default photo-editing application on the Samsung Galaxy S23 is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it provides users with an industry-standard photo-editing suite that makes basic edits quick and easy. But on the other hand, it may not be the most suitable photo-editing solution for all users, and so there is the option to change the default editor.
