"Where are My DAMN Photos!?" course — Mastering Lightroom Classic's Library Module

Regular price ~~$194.00~~ $138.00 Sale

My "Where are my DAMN photos?!?!" video course details the organizational system for Adobe’s Lightroom Classic that my good friend Rick LePage and I have built over the past decade or more. When people ask why we’re using Classic over Adobe’s cloud-based version of Lightroom, or other apps like ON1 Photo RAW, Capture One, or Luminar, we tell them that it’s Classic’s Library module that really is indispensable to us.

In this 4-hour video course, Rick and I demystify Lightroom Classic's Library module, showing you how to build your own rock-solid organizational system and how to import your photos smartly — and in their proper place every time. We also discuss our culling processes and how Classic's catalog works, showing you how its speed lets us drill down into our photo library to find photos in seconds.

In addition to the comprehensive course videos, we have a number of bonus videos that talk about how to get your old photos into your new system; using Lightroom on the road; syncing with Lightroom Mobile; and lots more, including a slew of Lightroom productivity tips.

Also included is a 67-page ebook (in PDF format) that follows along with the videos, making it the perfect companion to this course.
