My buddy Piet Van den Eynde has just launched a new course on Lightroom. It’s the most concise way for you to learn Lightroom and get the most out of it that you’ll find. Piet has an uncanny knack of getting to the heart of the matter in easy language with great examples. Check out the trailer:
While two and a half hours might not seem like a long time to get to grips with Lightroom, there’s a lot in this beginners crash course. Over the space of 23 videos, Piet begins by introducing the application and by chapter 3 is getting into best practices to make your life in Lightroom much easier.
The first 9 videos deal with file management and Library, with 6 of the remaining 7 of the main block of chapters dealing with Develop. The final main video deals with Export. Then there are a set of bonus videos dealing with different tasks in Lightroom. Here’s the full contents list:
