The Easiest And Fastest Way To Learn Adobe Lightroom! The Fstoppers Intro to Lightroom: The Ultimate Crash Course has been designed to give you comprehensive ground-up training on creating professional images within Lightroom. If you are new to Lightroom, or simply want to take your developing skills to a new level, this course will guide you through everything you need to know when it comes to professionally post producing images within Lightroom. With over 40 exercise files and well over 20 start to finish edits, we cover virtually every type of popular post production look and style. From making your high definition images pop with beautiful colors, to creating soft and silky skin tones for portraiture, to realistic vintage and filmic effects.

Learn From The Best Lightroom Instructor

When Fstoppers decided to team up with someone to produce an all inclusive tutorial on Adobe Lightroom, we knew the single best instructor was Pye Jirsa. Pye has been teaching Lightroom for over 4 years now and has become one of the most sought out educators in the business. By mixing humor with concise and easy to follow demonstrations, Pye Jirsa makes learning easy and fun. After watching just a few chapters of the tutorial you will be mastering complex techniques in no time.
Follow Along With Full High Res Files

We understand the best way to learn is by being actively involved in the process. To help you get the most out of this tutorial, we have included every high resolution RAW file. This makes it easy to follow alongside Pye and practice each technique with the exact same files shown in the video.

Improving Your Workflow

One of the most important things for any photographer is creating a streamlined workflow so you can spend more time behind the camera instead of behind your computer monitor. Lightroom has become the premiere software for quickly editing and exporting your entire photo sessions. However, even with this powerful software it can still take a novice hours and hours to cull, edit, and batch an entire wedding or event. Pye will teach you how to speed through your images by optimizing your software settings, building adjustment presets, and automating many of the most common edits you perform session after session.
Learn At Your Own Pace

Watching hours and hours of educational material can be time consuming and boring. We have separated each skill set into its own chapter so you can watch any lesson and learn at your own pace. While each section builds upon itself, we have designed this tutorial so you can skip chapters while still being able to follow along with Pye.
