Do you want to learn the basics of Adobe Lightroom editing but just don’t know where to begin? This Photo Editing Workshop With Adobe Lightroom class is designed for you!
If you have done my Beginners Photography Workshop, you’ll know that I’ve discussed the benefits of shooting RAW files because your images can look with even the most basic editing.
This Photo Editing Workshop With Adobe Lightroom is designed for those with NO editing experience.
The aim is to guide you through the essential editing techniques in Adobe Lightroom to get really satisfying results and while spending LESS time doing it! Furthermore you’ll gain the confidence knowing what you capture in camera can be finished off in the editing process in order to really complete your photographic vision.
Yes editing can seem daunting, but once you know what the key adjustments are and why we use them your results will be better than you thought possible. Finally it’ll make sense and you’ll be able to build on the knowledge you gained here and never look back. And the great thing is, once you understand Lightroom you’ll probably never have to learn Photoshop or take a Photoshop class as Lightroom now can handle just about all of our photo editing needs.
In short what I’m going to do is take you through step by step they most valuable editing tools in Adobe Lightroom while explaining in simple terms:
- What each one is
- What it does
- Why to use it
Furthermore, as part of the process I’ll take a basic RAW file of mine and edit it from start to finish using exactly the same tools as you will have.

From Crystal:
Have been on two of Andrew’s courses now and my photos just keep getting better and better. His flexible teaching methods and hands on approach makes the courses practical so you get in there and learn photography faster. Love his classes and will keep going back for more, as I have had so many “light bulb” moments when it comes to my photography that I can’t wait for more enlightening!

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful day I had on Saturday at the Beginners Photography Course with Andrew. I was nervous I would be the stupidest there and not take anything in but I learned so much and had a fabulous day!
