Importing & Organization
Lightroom was first developed to be an organizational tool for photographers above all else, and boy does it do this well. Organization is Lightroom’s least “sexy” feature and most people are not even considering this aspect of Lightroom when they decide to buy it. Their minds will soon change. Once you learn to use the full potential of the easy to use import, keywording, ranking and culling tools you will wonder how you ever enjoyed photography without it.

Installation & Setup
- IMPORTANT! everyone’s computer systems are different. Due to our limited time we will not be diving into getting lightroom up and running on your computer NOR organizing files within your own computer’s file system. You must arrive to class with Lightroom already installed on your computer.
- If you need help with things like installation and file management on your computer you should call and see about getting a private lesson instead.
