Adobe Lightroom
I just got this program. It seems pretty daunting with all the features. Any free online tutorials or beginners how to guides? Apr 24 13 08:29 pm Link Yes. All over youtube. Apr 24 13 10:44 pm Link Adobe offers a ton of free online videos for all its products at http://tv.adobe.com/ Here is the link for Lightroom videos: http://tv.adobe.com/product/lightroom/ Apr 25 13 12:17 am Link CreativeLive and KelbyOnline have great classes, and are better organized than trolling youtube. But they aren't free  Apr 26 13 08:42 am Link MC Photo wrote: This Apr 26 13 08:54 am Link Buy a book. Creative live is free to watch when they are recording, but you have to buy them after that. Totally worth the cost as they are very good and you will learn super fast and get great techniques. Apr 26 13 06:19 pm Link Adorama channel on YouTube have some dedicated LR tutorials by Dave Wallace. It's not daunting at all compared to photoshop.

I was in your position about four months ago when I decided not only to change over to a Mac platform but figured I would learn Lightroom as well. It is daunting at first, but you will figure it out quickly enough. Apr 28 13 06:31 am Link Lots of good advice above. Worked with one of the Beta testers. Best advice I got was to set ALL the files on an external harddrive. Name the first file Master Photos and then create sub files. IE People, Travel etc. Later, after you have imported all your pictures, they are much easier to find. Plus you can take the external and plug into another computer with lightroom and immediatly go to work. Apr 28 13 06:47 am Link Not free but Scott Kelby's book on Lightroom, step by step instructions for anything you want to do in LR and why you want to do it that way. Apr 28 13 09:24 am Link |
