Where can a find a complete feature list for Lightroom?

I tried the Adobe website and lightroom links. Found some very nice, -but slow to display- graphics, ads for the mobile version, how-to tutorials (the first one was 32 minutes long!), but did not see any feature list, or even a good description of what it does. I did not even see any screen shots. I want to narrow my software choices before I start downloading and trying each one.
A bit of the missing information:
Does it provide for editing IPTC data? If yes, must it be one photo at a time, or can I apply a IPTC data to hundreds of photos at once -for example, the event, date, photographer and keywords.
Does it have dodge and burn tools? I'm not looking for full blown photoshop, but this is very useful when blown background highlights occur near the edge of my crop, or bright background objects distract from the subject.
Does it provide for printing contact sheets with selected IPTC data fields printed under the photos?
Does it provide for uploading photos to Zenfolio? If yes, does it provide for creating new galleries in Zenfolio as part of the upload?
Does it perform exposure (OK -brightness, but it seems like exposure), contrast, and white balance adjustments to multiple files in a batch process -the user able to select the files by thumbnails.
Does it support multiple monitors so tools can be on one monitor, and the photo(s) on the other?
Does it provide side by side comparison of photos?
Does it provide a spot meter for measuring the brightness of a specific area of a photo as compared to neutral grey? (Or classic zones.) This would be very helpful when working onsite with a notebook computer -screen calibration isn't much help when always working in different ambient light.
Does it support multiple processor cores so that more cores equals faster processing?
I shoot sports in RAW format. I use up to three programs in post processing: Photo Mechanic, Canon RAW software, and Corel Photo. It would speed my work flow if I could use one program. Lightroom seems to be a combination of Photo Mechanic and Canon RAW software, with some select Photoshop features that may cover what I do with Corel.
I primarily use Photo Mechanic for post processing: Selecting shots from thumbnails, entering IPTC data, down sampling, cropping, moving, copying, deleting, sharpening, naming, uploading, and printing contact sheets with captions. It converts Canon RAW files to jpeg more than 10x faster than Canon software, with better options for down sampling, but any edits to RAW files in the Canon software have to be (painfully slowly) saved out to a jpeg file because Photo Mechanic can't see the RAW edits.
I use the Canon RAW software for brightness, contrast, white balance, and saturation -but only as the exception. Most of the time I can submit photos as shot -except for the Photo Mechanic work.
I use Corel software for dodge and burn, healing brush, and clone tools. Corel has the same features I use in the Canon software -but those features don't work as well in Corel as in Canon software, so it is no substitute for the Canon software. For example, often brightness won't bring out shadow details -it just turns black to grey, where the Canon software, for the same photo, can bring out the details in the shadows when I adjust brightness. The Canon software has more meaningful adjustments -I can brighten in "stops" instead of arbitrary scales of 0 to 100.
Sorry for the long post. I am used to seeing detailed feature lists and screenshots on software boxes. Surprised the Adobe site doesn't have that. If it does, please post the link.
thanks

This should help. Here is a link to the Lightoom user manual:

  • Where can I find the no-no list?

    As I am learning more and more about app development, it seems a lot of time can be wasted if you don't follow the rules Apple has set forth. I find post here and there about what not to do, such as using private API's, and tried searching in the Dev Center for something. As I learn I want to learn the, your app has more chance of not being rejected way, where can I find the "no-no" list Apple has?

    The obvious document would be the App Store Review Guidelines for iOS and OSX.
    iOS: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/
    Mac (OSX): https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/mac/
    Note that iOS apps can only be distributed via the App Store while OSX apps can be distributed directly by the developer.
    Creating a non-App Store app in OSX has several advantages and disadvantages:
    The App Store handles a number of practical issues for you: like setting up a download page and processing payments. It also (supposedly) gives you access to a larger customer base and is the "default" location for getting apps that Apple pushes new users to. The App Store is also more convenient when re-downloading apps, safer and more convenient as users don't have to keep track of activation codes for purchased apps. 
    You don't need to sandbox your app, this is helpful for certain apps that need to access data from other apps or needed to call other apps e.g. via AppleScript.
    You can use private APIs, although this is generally not recommended as these classes are not documented and may change/disappear between OS releases. But poking around in private APIs and other internals may sometimes be the only way to access certain information or to get certain features.
    Not being a App Store app will also mean that you can't use certain APIs - I think that iCloud is one of these.

    So basically Apple is hiding which networks allow rentals vs. purchase until you buy an ATV2,
    and then find out you can't watch "The Closer", "Men of a Certain Age", "In Plain Sight", etc., etc.
    Or until you spend a bunch of time digging through iTunes show by show...

  • How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

    I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz  Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere,  even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
    Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."   I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

    If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
    As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.
    Regards.

    Where can I find 3D materials add-ons for Photoshop CC 2014? When I pull down the 3D menu to Get More Content, it takes me here: Downloadable 3D content | Photoshop.com.

    Anybody know where I can find 3D materials that are more current, or at least different from what I have already?

    Open Motion, look for lightningin the generators. From there, it's a question of figuring out how it works and what you need to do to make it work for your sequence. That's about as free as it gets and it will ony be as good--even if someone else did the work for you--as the amount of time you're willing to invest.
