Description
One of six digital photography courses by Villiers Steyn >>
UPDATED in November 2021!
Lightroom" and "Lightroom Classic CC" is now known as "Lightroom Classic" only! >>

Adobe Lightroom Classic is by far the best image viewing-, sorting- and editing software available to photographers, and there's no better person than seasoned professional photographer, Villiers Steyn, to teach you how it works. It acts as a one-stop-shop for amateur and professional photographers, overcoming the need to jump between older viewing programs like Adobe Bridge and Photoshop.
Even though it's a very user-friendly program,Â Lightroom Classic can be intimidating to first-time users who don't understand exactly how the software 'communicates' with their computer and hard drives, where their photos are stored. And that's how this course was born: To help beginners who are new to Lightroom Classic to completely understand it right from the start, making their lives a million times easier in the long run...
Â Â
What is Adobe Lightroom Classic and how does it differ from normal Lightroom?
It's VERY important that you don't get confused by the two! Lightroom Classic, covered in this course, is a program that is used by photographers to view, sort, process and export their images for use elsewhere. Normal Lightroom is a cloud-based sharing program that then shares those exported files (or any other photos for that matter), between your devices - your computer, tablet and smartphone. Normal Lightroom is not covered in this course.Â
Â Â Â
SO WHAT WILL YOU LEARN FROM THIS COURSE?
The exact difference between Lightroom and Lightroom Classic.
How Lightroom and your computer 'communicates' with each other.
How to keep your computer as 'fast' as possible by saving space on its built-in hard drive.
How to import existing photos and copy new photos into Lightroom.
How to organize your image folders in the Library Module by moving and renaming images and folders.
How to view your photos as thumbnails, single images, full screen and zoomed in.
How to quickly learn more about each image by viewing important metadata, like settings and equipment used, at the press of a button.
How to assign attributes like flags, star ratings and colors to images, helping you to filter for specific subsets.
How to do the most important basic editing in the Develop Module, including:
Cropping;
White balance changes;
Exposure corrections;
Image saturation;
Image sharpening; and
Spot-removal.
How to export RAW files for social media or print use.
How to use shortcut keys to greatly improve your Lightroom workflow.
