Adobe is excellent for that. Look around, and you'll find them. Julianne Kost is tops.

Lynda.com has a free trial, and then it's $25 for a month of total access - excellent! I sign up for a month, watch all I can, and quit.

The Adobe website should have just about everything you would need. Many here on UHH recommend Lynda.com also. Check the search at the top of the page and you should find many other suggestions as well from previous threads. Happy hunting!

Anthony Morganti has a several great series on Lightroom and is now working on a series on Photoshop from Lightroom. His website is here: http://www.anthonymorganti.com/
and it is free.
He does a very good job of explaining and showing how to do things and his lessons are typically 15 minutes or so each. They are understandable, easy and can be watched over and over.

I agree with Anthony Morganti he's excellent. Another site that's good is The Lightroom Queen at: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/

Here are some FREE resources - Intro - basics to advanced - The catalog (file handling) -
Offered in video and text options... Some are older versions, but the concept is the same and they still build a solid foundation to start with.

Into to LR - an excellent video that covers the package - it's almost 2 hrs long so be prepared for that.

LR4 - Video training package
Scroll down to the lessons - they are free - do not click on the buy link.
For File Handling - focus on "Lightroom Interface", "Import", "Sort", and "Organize"

I recommend full courses over short YouTube tutorials. Matt Kloskowski, KelbyOne.com and Lynda.com are really excellent sources. They are paid subscriptions for very good reasons. I have subscribed to Kelby and Lynda for several years and Kloskowski more recently. Good luck.

If a person knows how to use the tool, but has a question about a specific function, YouTube videos work nicely. But, to learn the tool, the training requires some amount of structure to the learning. Yours is a great recommendation.
