Learning Lightroom
Apr 13, 2013 06:32:42 #
Lightroom provides 2 methods of sorting your photos. The flag system and the star system. When using the star system consider these labels for the stars.
1 star - Useful Mistake
2 star - Keep for Parts
3 star - Pretty Good
4 star - Great
5 star - Portfolio
Input on how experienced Lightroom users label these stars is welcome

A great idea for your thread Nightski ...... and one which people should follow. You do realise, don't you, that this particular thread, if you keep it going, could break the "thread record" by a country mile. There's so much to learn from that software programme. Great start ! Keep it up !
By the way, I'm a picker and chooser ! I only use the "Develop" part of the software. But that's just me.

Can you download those videos, or are they just online? I'm always wary when I see the word "forever" in an advertisement.

Lightroom Training does not get any better than this:

and this is free. Julianne Kost works for Adobe and has posted most if not all of her training videos for LR as well as PS on her blog, linked above.

It took me a while to check these sites out and I agree with you Nikonshooter. I trust Adobe to be there when others are long gone. Free is good, software and hardware changes. Much of Phil Steele's product reviews are obsolete so why would anyone want to pay for that.

Some great information in this thread. Thanks to Nightski and everyone else who has posted links here. My must-view list has just expanded dramatically.

Please do not consider yourself a " Dummy". I think you are pretty smart for getting everything organized BEFORE using Lightroom. When I began using LR years ago, I just jumped right in. Spent months trying to reorganize. The Adobe website with J. Kost is an excellent resource.

Right. You'd be giving this forum a bad name. :D
I've seen other forums, and this one is not populated by dummies.

Okay, I won't call myself a dummy, but I will call myself busy. I'm a small business owner and I work 6 days a week. I am up at 5am, and I go nonstop all day. I'm sure I could get all the information that I paid for free on the internet. But how long would it take me to gather it all up and learn it in the orderly fashion that Phil Steele puts forth in his tutorials. I don't see how getting organized before you start is obsolete. I'm sure that there are all kinds of wonderful resources for learning to do other things that what I will learn from Phil Steele, and I thank those who have posted those URL's. I will also use those to compliment what I am learning now. I plan to continue sharing the basics on this thread for those UHH'rs who are starting out just like me. I can't post everything, so if anyone has a question on how to do something that I have put forth, please feel free to ask. If I can't answer it yet, I am sure someone will be able to.

Thank-you, I'll be adding a little bit each day. :)
