I've been doing most of my drone photo editing in Lightroom but keep seeing people mention taking certain shots into Photoshop for finishing touches. What's your typical workflow between the two programs? Do you do all basic corrections in LR first, then move to PS for specific stuff?

Also curious about what specifically you can only do in Photoshop that makes it worth the extra step. I shoot RAW so I have plenty of data to work with.

I do 90% of my work in Lightroom - exposure, highlights/shadows, clarity, graduated filters for skies. Only jump to Photoshop for things like removing drone propellers that snuck into frame or major object removal using the patch tool.

Honestly, Lightroom handles 95% of what I need for aerial shots. The new masking tools are incredibly powerful now. I rarely need Photoshop unless I'm doing something really specific like focus stacking or complex compositing work.

Same workflow here! Lightroom for global adjustments and basic local work with radial/graduated filters. Photoshop only when I need precise masking or want to blend multiple exposures for extreme dynamic range scenes.
