I enjoyed this course. I've been using Lightroom for years, but from a total novice perspective, using mostly presets. I plan to do an in depth course but wanted to start with some basics because I suspected I was missing some very basic work flow concepts. This showed me some great short cuts, some features I didn't know existed, and was easy to follow and informative. The only criticism I have is too much time was spent on the import methods copy/add/move. It was a simple concept but took a long time to cover and I thought that was unnecessary.

1. I recommend this course especially to people who have already started using Photoshop but didn't have the time to take a look at Lightroom yet. It's not very long, one evening is enough to finish it and know the important things: interface, modules, shortcuts.
2. I liked the part about the structure of files and how the package sees the data in general. There's also this tip on how to build your folder structure at the beginning of using the program so as to avoid problems in the future.
3. There are a couple of exercises on post-processing images. Lr has great functionalities, including hand-painted masks. I love "Adjust HSL by dragging in the photo" tool.
4. PS. If you're using Windows version of the package and you can't find "Lightroom" menu, the options in Windows are in "Edit" menu (Edit: Catalog Settings...; Edit: Preferences...: Presets: Show Lightroom presets folder).

As a beginner, the course explained the tools available in Lightroom and give examples of when and how to use them to get the full benefits. I do wish that the actual editing section was much long with more detailed examples.
Overall, the course is good value for money and can be used as a reference for learning about tool available in Lightroom.

I thought I was already familiar with Lightroom but I'm learning new things in this course that weren't in previous courses I've taken.

I'm working with LR since a few years. But it is interesting to learn more - and you always can learn more in Lightroom!

Sometimes it was a little bit difficult to understand Kasia because my first language is German.

LR is such a powerful tool for editing pictures - I love it!

Thanks for this course!

Great information but a bit too long winded in the beginning. Lecture 22. which contains a photo to follow your instructions was amazing - more of that, please! :-)

Clear and logical. I also like the slower pace of talking (enough time to comprehend and follow).
