How Do You Learn PS and LR ?

Both PS & Lightroom have countless free tutorials. You can also get just about any question answered by searching on YOUTUBE.

Concur, Kelby One can be a major resource since the days of "Photoshop User" Magazine. But it does cost a bit. This is not an inexpensive hobby. Kelby One offers some very useful traveling training conferences.

Like you, I have attended several conferences and purchased three Kelby training books. They are full of very useful tips and easy to understand information. Scott also offers several books on Amazon.

Previously as PS and LR were updated every year or so books were published to help us learn. No with the subscription versions are updated frequently and as far as I can tell no hard copy is being produced. I have tried a few YouTube videos, but found them lacking, thus the title.
Thanks for your input.

Look for a community college in your area. I've taken Art classes in Photoshop. Good place to start, organized instruction, usually written material and someone to ask when you have questions.

Let me add my two cents worth. First, we all have different learning styles and needs. I need a general background initial idea, then a logically structured methodology to put it all in place. Professionally, I enjoyed attending post grad courses with a good syllabus, plenty of time to ask questions and then home study. Long gone with "the on line world." Same has happened to the traditional P/S 2 to 5 day courses. Mark Fitzgerald offers LR classes via his web site, "Digital Darkroom," from Portland Oregon. He offers personal on line tutor help as well. In terms of P/S, I took what I consider the best class ever, "Learn P/S in 30 days" with 10 to 20 min classes at your leisure by downloading them and taking them at your pleasure, reviewing the vignettes as often as you like. The cost was about $60, offered by Blake Rudis at f64 academy. In addition, he covers all sorts of everyday issues with free tutorials on his web site. I would invite you to listen to a few and get a sense of what does. I'm 75 and my brain just doesn't work as well, I really appreciate this methodology. I've tried all the suggestions given above, but none of it stuck because I just didn't get the big picture. I particularly appreciate the remark about learning what the photo needs, that takes a lot of practice and work, at least for me.
