 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom  eLearning Videos

Lightroom is a powerful tool for organizing and editing photos, but it can be complex if you’re trying to navigate it without guidance. We’ve broken it down into six manageable video series that each address a different aspect of Lightroom. Each series contains between 7 and 10 clips of between 3 and 10 minutes each. Our eLearning series puts you in control of the schedule and the syllabus. Links below will place the series you want in a special eStore cart that will allow you to download the items as soon as your payment is processed. It helps to have a fast Internet connection as some of the files are large.
The eLearning store is pretty new to us too and if it gives you any grief, please call us and we'll help you along.

Get an overview of the Lightroom interface and learn how to navigate around in the program. You’ll learn about the different modules available, with a closer look at the Library module, where you’ll organize your photos, and the Develop module, where you’ll learn how to use Lightroom to enhance your images. And, finally, you’ll learn how to get those enhanced images back out of Lightroom so that you can share them, print them, and show off your new found photo-editing skills to the world.

Workflow and digital asset management. Cameras store filenames in very cryptic ways, and that can make it hard to find a specific image. Lightroom Catalogs give you the power to name files in ways that make sense to you and separate shoots so that you’ll be able to find a specific image, even years after you took it, quickly and easily. We’ll go through all the setup that you need to do on your computer to make Lightroom work for you. Then we’ll walk through the process you’ll need to follow for each shoot to get your images from your camera into Lightroom in a way that promotes proper digital asset management and facilitates the Lightroom workflow.
