🎥 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.

UNLIMITED Presets for Lightroom CLASSIC Users – EASY HACK! 💥

Lightroom Classic users can have unlimited presets too, and it only takes a simple workaround. In this video I show you the hack, which makes use of Lightroom on the Web to give you unlimited presets across every Lightroom platform, Classic included. It's an easy one to set up, and once you know it's there, it opens up far more presets than you'd otherwise have to choose from in Classic.

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

One of the best ways to learn Lightroom is to see exactly how other people edit, and the Lightroom Community lets you do just that, with permission. It's a free space, available to all Lightroom users whether you're on Lightroom, Classic, Mobile or Web, where people share their edits from start to finish, showing every slider and setting they used to create the final look. You can also download presets for free, which makes it a great resource for learning Lightroom, and in this video I show you how to use it.

Back in the Saddle working on my 3945 WW2 Portraits Project

Felt so good being ‘back in the saddle’ yesterday taking another portrait for my 3945 Portraits Project with this one of 100 years young, Iris Jefferies who was seconded to the Admiralty during World War 2 involved in Top Secret planning of the D Day Landings.

Such a wonderful afternoon with an incredible woman and her daughter, Granddaughter and Great Granddaughter 😃

In the picture above you can also see the portrait I took of Iris’ late husband David, whom I photographed at the Bristol Normandy Veterans back in November 2019.

Amateur Photographer Magazine - VE80 Edition (May 2025)

In this months edition, and their Special VE80 issue of Amateur Photographer magazine I was interviewed by journalist / writer Helly Barnes about my 3945 Portraits Project.

It was such a great chat being asked so many things I'd never been asked before; the reason for the project, the emotional roller coaster it quickly became, stories etc ...

I'll admit that it's really nice to have a front cover, but more than anything, it's brilliant that this ultimately means more people will become aware of the 3945 Portraits Project, meaning more people will get to know the names and faces of those amazing people!
