Q: What if I am new to editing?
A: This course is designed to teach you even if you have never opened Lightroom or Photoshop. You’ll learn an incredible amount in just two days!
Q: Do I need to own Lightroom and Photoshop
A: NO, Adobe offers a free 7-day trial of these programs. This course is designed to get you started from scratch - no prior experience with Lightroom or Photoshop is required.
Q: What if I own a different version of Lightroom?
A: There are several versions of Lightroom. Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic and older Lightroom 6. 90% of what will be taught in this class applies to ALL the older versions of Lightroom Classic. If you have Lightroom CC you may find much of the first day frustrating as the organization tools are quite different.
I teach you how to edit most photos in just a few easy steps. This quick portrait of my son was completed in 15 seconds! I show you how to use Lightroom’s tools to quickly get the results you want without spending hours editing.
