Lightroom has hundreds of sliders. You need about a dozen.
Most people open Lightroom, push sliders until the photo looks different, and hope it looks better. Then they can’t find last month’s photos.
This course gives you a clear order to work in, so every photo goes through three steps:
- Import and organizeSo you can find any photo later
- Edit with a planThe few tools that matter, in the right order
- Export for anywhereWeb, print and slideshows, set up once

Questions before you buy
Which version of Lightroom do I need?
The course was recorded in Lightroom 5 in 2014. Today’s Lightroom Classic has the same modules and core tools, so everything still applies, but some panels have moved and newer tools, like AI masking, aren’t covered.
I’ve never used Lightroom. Is this for me?
Yes. It starts with setting up and importing, then builds up one tool at a time.
How do I watch it?
Right after you pay, you go to the course page. The lessons come as three .zip downloads (about 3.1 GB) and a resources pack (about 300 MB). Use Wi-Fi and a computer.
Do the presets work in my Lightroom?
They are classic .lrtemplate presets. Lightroom Classic imports them, and newer versions convert them for you on import.
Is this a subscription?
No. It’s a one-time payment of $49. If you have a coupon code, enter it on the checkout page.
What if it’s not for me?
Email [email protected] within 30 days and we’ll refund your $49. No questions asked.
