THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE LIGHTROOM CLASSIC TRAINING



This training is updated to include all the features of the latest version of Lightroom Classic 9.3 (released June 2020)



Do you need to Learn Lightroom Classic? I mean, really learn it. Are you frustrated because your Lightroom catalog is a mess? Maybe you just want to make your photos look better (how about a LOT better, like the ones you see “rockstar photographers” doing). Imagine having all of your photographs perfectly organized and being able to find what you want instantly. Imagine being able to quickly make your photographs look pristine or even push it a little bit beyond the normal, with confidence.



Maybe you have tried other training and it was incomplete, scattered and confusing. You just wished someone would tell you HOW to do it but also explain WHY something works, so you can reproduce it on your own library of photographs. I’m going to guess you are also tired of heady, overly technical instructions and just want a knowledagable friend to sit down and explain Lightroom Classic to you.



This is the A-Z Lightroom training. LIBRARY // DEVELOP // OUTPUT. Three complete courses in one, with zero overlap.






This is what makes this training so unique. You have an award winning (3X Guru award, Time Magazine, PPA awarded) expert, who is known for his calm,

conversational style, that is friendly and easy to understand and follow. This training is now in its 8th version and has been completely (every single lesson) recoded from the ground up for Lightroom Classic. We didn’t assume we know everything about your needs. We asked our very large community (you were possibly one of them) specifically what they struggle with the most and need to learn. We received hundreds of responses and acted on it. As a result, we beefed up the areas that people struggle with the most and produced this, what we believe to be the most complete, finest Lightroom Classic training anywhere.



In 140 digestible lessons, we will go though Lightroom Classic together in depth. This 15+ hour course will train you as well as serve as a valuable reference library for the future. We go beyond just the tools (they are all explained of course and all the latest features are covered in depth. ). You will learn workflows and strategies. How to build catalogs and organize your photos. How to find anything. How to migrate to different computers or hard drives. How to find missing images. How to clean up your Catalog and how to structure it in the first place. Workflows and steps to fix and polish your photos and videos (yes, videos). How to add the finishing touches to make your images stand out from the rest and quickly retouch and finesse details. How to automate many things to shave hours off your workflow. The steps for printing and outputting books, slideshows and much more.



If you are a complete beginner, you won’t be left behind, if you are more experienced, you will love learning the new tools and workflows of Lightroom Classic as well as lots of hidden and undocumented tips and tricks.



No matter your level, you can quickly master Lightroom Classic with effortless ease.









This is the most comprehensive video on the market for Lightroom. This 8th edition is recorded in beautiful HD from the ground-up for Lightroom Classic. Learn how to import, organize, develop and output all your captures with effortless ease. Enjoy in-depth coverage, pro techniques, secret tips and Colin’s way of breaking down even the most complex tasks into quick and easy to understand techniques. You’ll spend less time in front of the computer and more time behind the camera!






If you are new to Digital Photography, an old-hand or someone looking to learn the “correct” way of doing things, look no further. Watch over Colin’s shoulder as he demystifies Lightroom Classic. You’ll learn all the shortcuts, tips and tricks from a true expert. Do you ever get frustrated with tutorials that don’t work in the real world? In many cases Colin shows you multiple methods so that you can choose the one that’s best for your photo.



This is not like other training videos. The techniques aren’t from a classroom bubble. This is what works today in the real-world. There are no monotone presentations with boring uninspiring images. You’ll learn tons, you’ll have fun and most of all you’ll be inspired. See why millions of people are passionate about PhotoshopCAFE training. (30,000,000+ to date).
