I like the chipmunk and waterfall most.

Thank you so much. I love chipmunks! When I was a little girl my grandmother would hand feed them but I couldn’t be still enough to not frighten them away.

I like the blue waterfall. Makes it look like it was shot lit by moonlight. Should be a real easy fix with most any PP program.

Thanks, Twowindsbear! Your comment is appreciated.

It was recommended on here that I get Bryan Petersons book, Understanding Exposure. I bought it and have been studying and (hopefully) learning from it.
Here are a few practice shots for cc please.
So much to remember. On the waterfall, while I think I got the shutter speed correct I forgot to move the white balance from incandescent to sunny. Have not yet figured out my style but the 75-300 lens is my favourite of the three I was given.

You don't need your university or the random confusion of YouTube. In the Help menus of both, "Tutorials" are listed. It will take you directly to some of the best training there is.

Thank you, Bill!

Well, Bruce it looks as though I need to go to you tube u in order to make the best use of LR Classic. My local university only offers photoshop.
Thanks!

Its easier to use because it lacks a lot of the core functionality that makes Lightroom so useful. Additionally your subscription also includes Photoshop, the standard that every competitor tries to emulate. If you are planning on just using Lightroom CC and avoiding Lightroom Classic and Photoshop then you will be paying quite a lot of money for your subscription for very little return.

Thank you, MWSilvers. Hopefully I will gain confidence quickly so as not to be wasting money. I did practise a few minutes ago with a couple of photoshop tutorials. Very cool!

Start Lightroom Classic, open the catalog that you used to start the trial, and just enjoy the benefits. LR CC is pretty thin on capability. As far as editing is concerned, anyway. Besides, Lr Classic also gives you Photoshop, an important tool if you want to actually finish what you start in Lr. Lr is my go to for initial editing and proofing, then Ps is where I make the magic happen (at least sometimes

)

So Gene - I’m thinking that if I open the Adobe icon and choose Lightroom cc for now I can choose classic and/or photoshop as my confidence builds. Is that about right?

Open the Lightroom CC program on the Adobe app then. When you open the Adobe CC app, it gives you a choice of what program to open.

Thank you Scott! I had been trying to use the Lightroom icons but the Adobe icon is where I have the choice.

Oh that worked! Thank you so much. Learning all of this plus the camera is taxing this old brain!

I put the pictures on the Lightroom CC. It certainly seems easier to use than the Lightroom Classic CC so I’d rather keep it.

Hello all and help please! I dowloaded a free trial of Lightroom cc and have the icon on my desktop as well as on my phone. Free time was up so agreed to the subscription. Now I still have that icon on my desktop and phone but new icon is Adobe Lightroom Classic CC. The 50 pictures I added to the original are still there although I can no longer do anything to them. The new is way different and has photos that I did not put there. Did I make a big mistake somewhere and is it fixable?
Thanks for any advice!
