Photoshop Lightroom Removal Guides – How Do You Uninstall Photoshop Lightroom?


Are you disappointed to remove Photoshop Lightroom? My mom’s friend downloaded Photoshop Lightroom for a free trial. Few weeks back she changed some setting in the program to apply some “current” settings to all the images that she opens in the future. Now she thinks it was a bad idea because she cannot make this thing stop applying these settings. She could not remember what exactly was changed either. Now, she is looking on her programs and it’s not there. But when she sticks in memory card to upload pictures, it pops up. She needs to delete it so she can upload the pictures with a different program. She has done google/bing/yahoo but so far no luck in disabling this option? Fortunately, there are the best removal tips in this article.
