In 2017, Adobe released a major update to its photography toolkit, and in particular, it re-branded the desktop version of Lightroom into Lightroom Classic CC. Every release seems to exacerbate the problems, especially on larger monitors, despite having a fast desktop machine with all the bells and whistles.īecause of this, I’ve become slightly obsessed with optimizing Lightroom so it runs as well as is possible. One thing I don’t love about Lightroom though is how slow and painful it sometimes can be to use, which seems to have gotten worse over the years. The monthly subscription is a price well worth paying, and I recommend it to all my students on my travel photography course. I love the way it handles pretty much everything I need in terms of managing my photos and editing them, and I use it for 95% of all my photography post-processing.Īs a travel photographer, I find Lightroom to be the best photo editing software, and an indispensable tool. Well structured, awesome easy to follow outline, and the bonus materials are top notch.I’ve been using the desktop version of Lightroom for many years as the centre of my photography editing workflow. This class can help a hobbiest or a pro, just the same. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to keep photos of their family or become a professional photographer.

This course was the easiest to follow along with, and I was able to put almost everything taught into practice right along with Ben during the course. Taught by someone who is easy to listen to and watch, in a setting that looks and feels like a real world scenario is a great idea. The foundational understanding of the most basic of photo organizational properties coupled with the actual editing techniques was more valuable than the last 5 courses Ive taken combined. This course took my comfort from low to high in no time. I’ve dabbled in photography for a while, and I’ve played with Lightroom for several years. I anticipated a bunch of lecture on tips and photography techniques, this was something else.

Real world training from someone with experience! This course goes so far beyond some basic techniques we could have learned from a user guide.
