Hi, I'm Theresa Jackson.
I'm a photographer, a graphic artist, and an instructor.
And I use Lightroom Classic every day for my personal
and professional photography.
I can't wait to share my knowledge and my passion
for Lightroom Classic with you.
I'd like to share with you
the fundamental essentials of Lightroom Classic.
You'll learn about two of Lightroom Classic's
most important modules, the Library and Develop modules
to organize and edit your photos.
The lessons in this course are presented
in the order of a real world workflow
so that you can easily follow along from start to finish.
We'll begin by understanding
what a Lightroom Classic catalog is.
Then we'll go over ways to organize and store your photos
on local hard drives.
In Lightroom Classic, we'll look at import methods,
create a copyright metadata template,
and learn the best practices for keywording.
We'll also explore how to review and rate your images,
create image stacks, collections, smart collections,
and collection sets.
This course will address those burning questions
like "What is good file management?",
"Where should I put my photos?"
and "What happens to them during an import?"
"How can I edit faster and more efficiently?"
"How do I get my edited photos out of Lightroom?"
"And can I sync my mobile device
"with my Lightroom Classic photos?"
We'll finish it up with some troubleshooting tips
just in case something goes wrong for you along the way.
Are you ready now to learn Lightroom Classic?
Well, come along with me, as I lead you through
