Free sample · no sign-in neededInstalled Lightroom today and needed to start with it yesterday? The parts of the program a photographer uses every day – in plain language, without empty platitudes.
The course introduces the parts of Lightroom that are essential for a photographer's daily work. No empty platitudes, but proven techniques and tips. Even as a complete newcomer, after the course you'll know how Lightroom works and won't be lost.
You'll learn to back up photos from a card, add photos you already have to the catalogue, edit a single photo and a whole series so it looks consistent, and export for print, web and social media. The course uses Lightroom Classic, but older versions are fine too.
Editing a photo
We'll dive into the Develop module, go through all its functions and learn to sync edits across other photos. You'll save hours and your series will be consistent.
Import and backup
Why to back up from a card exclusively through Lightroom, and how to add photos you already have on an external drive or your computer.
Export, presets, collections
Exports for the client, your own and downloaded presets, collections and keywords – and the chaos in your photos turns into order.

Buyer reviews
I always floundered in Lightroom and was more friends with Photoshop. Thanks to this course I now know it's really easy when you have a lecturer like Tonda. Thank you so much for this online course, because thanks to it I'm now much more confident in Lightroom.
