Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I tried to learn Lightroom before and got frustrated. How is this course different?
Most Lightroom training focuses on editing digital photos but doesn’t do a great job of explaining the concepts and workflow behind Lightroom catalogs. This course was created by a photo organizer and teaches a complete photo organizing workflow. You won’t learn all the features of Lightroom, but you’ll learn everything you need to organize photos using open standards and industry best practices.
Q: Do I need Lightroom to benefit from this course?
Even if you don’t have Lightroom Classic, there’s a lot to learn about metadata and best practices, but if you want to implement the workflow I teach, you need a license of Lightroom Classic. It’s only $10/month to subscribe to the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan which includes the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic and Adobe Photoshop.
Q: I’m willing to learn Lightroom, but I don’t think it’s realistic for my client to learn it. Is this course still useful to me?
Absolutely! Everything in this course is based on open standards and industry best practices, so all the work you do for your clients (creating a core file structure, assigning industry-standard metadata, renaming files, etc.) is accessible even if they don’t use Lightroom.
Q: Can I use the new Lightroom CC?
Lightroom CC is a cool new app from Adobe, but it’s not the best choice for a photo organizer and won’t help you implement the workflow I teach in this course. You need to use Lightroom Classic to get the most out of this course.
Q: What’s the cost of the software used in this course?
Adobe Lightroom Classic is the core of the course and is available for only $10/month which also includes the latest version of Adobe Photoshop. There are a few other utilities and plug-ins that are one-time purchases and range from $10-50 each. Even if you bought all the other tools I recommend, the total should be less than $150 and will save you countless hours.
