Course description

Comprehensive introduction for photographers on how to use Adobe Lightroom to import, organise and edit your photographs.

Which version of Lightroom do you need

Lightroom is the professional’s choice when it comes to organising and editing their photographs. The edits performed in Lightroom never alter or damage the original files.
