In this complete class, we will examine the Adobe Lightroom Classic software from beginning to end. Even if you haven’t used Lightroom Classic before, we will get you up to speed. And if you’ve used the software for some time, we will help you maximize your effectiveness and efficiency. Please note that there are two softwares: Lightroom and Lightroom Classic. In this course we use the most recent (as of 2025) version of Lightroom Classic, not Adobe Lightroom.
We begin with image organization, because this is where most people have significant issues. We will build a catalog and understand how they operate. Then we will use Lightroom to manage the actual data on your machine. Of course, once we use Lightroom Classic to manage your image, we will need to organize images within the software. This is the collection, smart collection, and collection set structure, which we will tackle next.
The next portion of the class is all about image editing. We will explore exposure, contrast, color control, white balance, noise reduction, detail sharpening and more in our editing section. This culminates with a full course on masking and layering. We will end our editing section by editing three images for demonstration.
Lastly, we will need to export variants to your specifications on demand and easily. I hope you join us for a fun time exploring one of the most powerful editors and organizers in the photographic world.
- This course is for any hobby or enthusiast photographer who wants to use Adobe Lightroom Classic as his or her primary image editor.
