Welcome to your Lightroom Classic Starter Guide video!
When I went to film this video, I pretended I was walking my mom through the process of how to use Lightroom Classic! ….
Why? Because it’s hard to think back to the beginning.
What did I not understand? What was confusing? What did no one explain to me?
I went back to my roots and created this video as if I was telling a brand new photographer the in’s and out’s of Lightroom!
I have broken down the video into chapters for you to make it easier to follow along!
I am going to show you :
- How to import photos
- What features I do and don’t use
- The basic slides that build the foundation of my edits
- New features that I love in Lightroom Classic!
- How to export my final images
- And so much more!
If you are asking yourself these questions:
- “I don’t even know when I am going to get good photos”
- “I don’t know when I am shooting well or not shooting well”
…then the KJ Photography Starter Course is a great place to start for you! I literally created this course around these 2 questions!!
I hope this was helpful for you today!! Click below to watch the full video!
