Course Description
Are you someone who gets confused when you look at Adobe Lightroom Classic?
Do terms like Catalogs, Importing, Folders, Collections, etc make you really frustrated?
Don't worry! You're not alone.
Even some of the best professional photographers find Lightroom Classic very confusing at first. Even though the editing part inside Lightroom is a lot of fun, the organizing part is the one that frustrates a lot of people.
But once you understand how to use the different organizing functions in LR Classic work, you will realize that not only is it very good as an editing tool, it's also the best image management software out there.
In this course, we will learn this entire process by going through the following 13 steps:
Transferring & Organizing Photos
Importing into LR (1st method)
Understanding a Catalog
Importing into LR (2nd method)
Backing up the Lightroom Catalog
Understanding Folders
Understanding & Using Collections
Culling Using Collections
Editing Workflow Settings
Target Collections for Portfolio
Client Proofing Using Lightroom Cloud
Exporting the Correct Way
Additional Settings To Facilitate Workflow
Going through these 13 steps will make you master the entire Lightroom classic software.
The best part is that you will be getting your hands on all the images used in the course and you'll actually be starting the process by copying the photos into an SD card, just like you would do if you did your own shoot. So everything will be taught from scratch.
I hope to see you inside the course!

Very good intro to LR classic, also for experienced LR users to refresh and uncover some of new features
By Nancy Taxeras on 2/20/2025
I am familiar with most of this, but it helps with organization and I can certainly do that better after watching this. Thank you!

I was surprised to hear "I am not the most organized person with my pictures", on the introduction video for how to organize like a pro. It does not instill confidence.
By Kevin Currie on 10/20/2024
Incredible. Frankly, I've stumbled with LRC for months, taken different classes, talked to people. Kush's so totally answers those stumbling questions and problems. Would love to meet him! Thank-you!
