🎥 I Recorded 5 Lightroom Tutorials for Adobe

I'm excited to finally share some news I've been keeping under wraps: I recently had the opportunity to create five tutorial videos for Adobe, now featured on the Adobe Learn site … learn.adobe.com

These videos are designed with beginner and intermediate users in mind, walking through some of the most useful and practical workflows in Lightroom and Lightroom on the Web.

Whether you're just starting out or want to brush up on your skills, these tutorials are built to help you feel more confident with your editing and photo management.

Here's a quick look at the topics I covered:

✨ 1. Edit your Lightroom Photos in Photoshop

Start your edits in Lightroom and then send an image to Photoshop for additional creative possibilities.

🌐 2. Get to Know Lightroom on the Web

Access all your Lightroom photos in a web browser and any edits you make will sync across the Lightroom ecosystem.

🛠 3. Improve Photos with Basic Edits in Lightroom on the Web

Start with an auto adjustment and fine tune your edits with changes to the brightness, contrast, and color in a photo.

🎨 4. Enhance Photos with Presets in Lightroom on the Web

Take advantage of presets to jumpstart your image editing or explore new creative styles.

📁 5. Organize and Share Your Photos Using Lightroom on the Web

Use albums and folders to organize your photos and create a link to share an album as an online web gallery.

How to LEARN LIGHTROOM by Copying ... WITH Permission❗️

Available for ALL Lightroom users (Lightroom, Classic, Mobile and Web) is the Lightroom Community - a FREE Space where users share their edits from Start to Finish showing ALL of the sliders and settings used to create the final look. Also download Presets for FREE. The Lightroom Community is a GREAT resource to learn Lightroom.
