This the one I just started using as it uses Ligjtroom 6, the latest.
Lightroom CC has several features not present in Lightroom 6.
Hi Val5,
I'm in a similar position. I have had LRCC installed for several years. I hardly used it. Lately, I've begun using it and have lots to learn. I subscribe to Kelbyone.com - (Monthly charge).I also have his LightroomCC book (Scott Kelby). I have viewed a few of Anthony Morganti's LR tutorials - he is excellent. However it is not easy to find his tutorials on LR, becasue they are on youtube, not his site. Here is the link to his 30 videos on LR.

I think it is important to get "organized" before embarking on learning LR. That means you should have an organized way of storing your photos. Many ways to do it, but your plan must be well defined and fit your photography. LR will definitely help. If you already have an organized scheme, you could begin by creating a new catalog in LR and importing all of your exisiting photos into that catalog. Feel free to PM me.

I am new to UHH form and have enjoyed the topics I've read very much. I love snapping birds and wildlife near my home in western Washington. My hope is to upgrade my "snapping skills" to actual photography, as well as to learn Lightroom CC, which I just acquired.
All advice on learning LR will be greatly appreciated!

I HIGHLY recommend Laura Shoe's two DVDs on the subject. They are about $ 50 each. They are separated by input and output. I bought these, along with Scott Kelby's book, and fine them invaluable. Although the book is good, I find I learn easier by seeing.

The best and fastest way to learn LR is to buy this course from CreativeLive.com
It's taught by Ben Wilmore and I can attest to his great courses. He is the best teacher by far.
I have his earlier LR 3 day class (the version 6 LR class before CC) and now I would consider
myself to be an advanced user of LRCC. Here's the link to CreativeLive

I've taken a few Lightroom courses and this was, by far, the best:
http://mattk.com/category/lightroom/Matt was an instructor for Scott Kelby and went off on his own. He's also starting a Photoshop course soon.
It's not free, but you can download it and proceed at your own pace.
See
http://www.anthonymorganti.com And find him on YouTube. He has an incredible teaching series on Lightroom 6 and CC, that takes you from the very basics into the very complex aspects of Lightroom. THe first 13 or so of his teaching series are videos that are 30 minutes and longer, and beyond that are about 60 more shorter "tips." You can subscribe to get tips sent directly to your email--pretty much weekly. THe best part is that all of this incredible training is FREE! Check him out. Anthony Morganti--a tremendous resource.
I use Phil Steele's online video course. He covers all LR versions starting with LR4 up to the present CC. I go back as needed
anytime I want. I like his system even though I use a different one.
Others have already mentioned Julie Kost from Adobe and countless YT videos.
I've seen Creative Live previews of their LR courses. It's too much for me, it's geared toward professionals rather than amateurs like me.
You'll have to decide about your storage system and stick with it. The most important module is Develop, you can go there as deep
as you like.

Look up Laura Shoe, 15 1/2 hours of training on 76 videos.
Laura Shoe Lightroom. Not free but very thorough. Updates via email.
You should try creativelive.com. I have learned so much from this website. Look for photoshop week ( LR IS INCLUDED) classes are free but then you can buy them also! I love this website! Have fun! Klm414
I'll give it a look. Thanks.
Once I figure out my new camera (Olympus OM-D EM-10) my next step is to move to LR processing. It does not appear from reading the above that is a shortage of instructional help. I kinda miss my Brownie Box camera. Not Ansel.
