Chrissy does a great job of explaining things in easy-to-understand terms and the structure of the course is very logical, thorough, and well-organized. Especially loved the insights into culling/categorizing and keywords. The exhaustive starter keyword list provided is a big time-saver and almost worth the cost of the course alone!

"Especially loved the insights into culling/ categorizing and keywords."

Brian S.

Great, thorough course, Chrissy. I have spent countless hours, even years learning wonderful processing skills but found myself with 21,000 photos very poorly organized. This course was exactly what I needed. I wish I had done this years ago. It makes sitting down at my workstation a pleasure and allows me to focus my time on processing images.

"This course was exactly what I needed. I wish I had done this years ago."

Steve B.

"Although I’ve been using Lightroom for more than a dozen years, this course introduced me to shortcuts and functionality that I hadn’t used before. It also provided an opportunity to revisit some of the Lightroom preferences I’d set years ago and hadn’t updated to reflect my current workflow. The course presented many ideas that will help me to more efficiently review and organize my photographs after capture. and I highly recommend it."

Rob D.

"You have helped me immensely. Now, instead of my Library panel being more than a foot long, and having to scroll a lot, it is much more compact and manageable. I would have never figured this out on my own. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am sure I will learn a lot more as I work through the course, but this alone gave me more than my money’s worth. using Lightroom!" 

"You have helped me immensely. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Paul R.

"This was a great course for any level. It helped me understand and set up Lightroom. It covered topics and areas that I didn’t even know existed in the program. Chrissy has also gone above and beyond answering questions and providing additional tips."

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Can I download the videos?

The course has been designed as an online course so I can make necessary updates as Adobe Lightroom Classic introduces new features. Therefore, downloading the videos is not an option and prohibited. The only portion which is downloadable is the keyword list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share the videos with a friend?

My answer: If you benefit from this course, the highest compliment you could possibly give me is to encourage your friends and peers to also make a purchase. This product took years to produce and way too many hours which I dedicated to planning and compiling the lessons. With that said, it is appreciated that every household purchases their own copy, and it is not shared with friends, enemies, frenemies, and pirates. Please know your support is greatly appreciated in helping me produce future content.

My lawyer’s answer: As agreed upon in the terms and conditions and purchase agreement, you are purchasing the product with a license of intended use. This license is only for your own personal use and cannot be shared with other individuals not living within your household.

What do I need to watch the course?

You will need a high-speed internet connection to take the course. The course has been designed to be compatible with all devices, including Apple and Windows desktop computers, laptops, tablet devices, and mobile phones. If you are able to watch the course preview video, then you will be able to stream the videos.

What form of payment do you accept?

To ensure the transactions are in a safe and secure manner, the website transaction is through Stripe, a large and widely used e-commerce company. The credit card companies accepted through Stripe are Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and Amex. In addition, I understand it is more convenient for some to use PayPal for online purchases. Therefore, there is an option to select PayPal as the payment method.

How can I leave feedback?

I am always happy to hear the good, the bad, but hopefully not ugly feedback on my products. If you benefited from the tutorial and would like to contribute a testimonial, there is a feedback form in the last module. Alternatively, please reach out using the contact form on my About page. If you have suggestions for improvement, please share that too! My goal is continuous improvement so I welcome constructive criticism.

What if I have an older version of Lightroom Classic?

The course focuses entirely on Lightroom’s Library module. Many of Lightroom Classic’s Library module features have remained consistent with smaller changes and tweaks throughout the years unlike the Develop module updates which have received massive overhauls.

For example, the Let’s Get Organized! course lessons on working with folder structures, catalogs, importing, flags, color ratings, stars ratings, view types, spray paint tool, keywords, smart previews, regular collections, smart collections, and exporting would still be applicable to the older version of Lightroom. The overviews on catalog settings and Lightroom preferences even remain largely the same in previous versions of Lightroom.

To take full advantage of every single course option, yes, you would need the latest version of Lightroom. Although, even if you are using Lightroom Version 5.0 released back in 2013, you can take advantage of 90% of Let’s Get Organized!.

What Modules of Lightroom are covered?

This course focuses entirely on the Library Module of Lightroom Classic.
