New Course: “Lightroom Lectures”

I am happy to announce a new course has been added to the “Mastering Lightroom Classic 10” bundle in the GreyLearning library!

This new course is called “Lightroom Lectures”, and it represents a new approach to teaching photographers how to make the most of their workflow based on my extensive experience and feedback from students.

Each lesson in the “Lightroom Lectures” course provides thorough coverage of a specific aspect of Lightroom Classic, with a typical lecture being about one hour in duration. This provides a series of cohesive lessons that will help ensure you gain knowledge and confidence for using Lightroom Classic in your workflow.

With the publication of this course the “Mastering Lightroom Classic 10” bundle includes coverage of all of the core workflow topics, including organizing, optimizing, and sharing photos using Lightroom Classic. However, there will still be new content added over the coming weeks!

New lessons will be published on organizing and optimizing photos, using the new “lectures” format. In addition, lessons will be added to cover the use of Photoshop specifically for photographers who are using Lightroom Classic as the foundation of their workflow.
