About This Class
Hi! My name is Dan Scott and together you and I are going to take your photographs and transform them into beautiful dynamic images using Adobe Lightroom CC.

I am an Adobe Certified Instructor and I've been working as a creative professional and photo retoucher for over 16 years. I enjoy combining creative work with teaching.

I've won many Adobe teaching awards and recently reached a huge milestone....I have now had over a million people worldwide who have studied using my online courses like this one!

Soften and smooth skin texture
Highlight eyes and whiten teeth
Enhance hair and make eyes and lips really stand out in a portrait
Remove unwanted elements from a photograph

The same great tools you will have worked with for photographs will also work with video clips.

You will learn how and why to switch between Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom to achieve optimal results.

One of the most exciting features is learning about presets which will speed and enhance your workflow.

Lightroom is a powerful tool for organising, sorting, color grading and backing up your images.

Who will benefit from this course?
This course is aimed at people who are brand new to image editing and photography in general.

We start right from scratch and work through topics step by step. It doesn't matter whether you are using an  expensive 'state of the art' digital SLR camera or a very basic mobile phone - Lightroom will work well for both!

During the course, we will be working with Adobe Lightroom CC, not the older version known as Lightroom Classic. Many of the techniques we will learn will work with both versions of Lightroom software but our focus will be on Lightroom CC desktop.

I will be setting class projects throughout the course so that you can practice the skills you have learned. By working on these projects you will create stunning images to add to your personal portfolio or CV.

Whether you have never used Lightroom or you have opened it and struggled - follow this course with me and together we will take your images and transform them into beautiful, dynamic photographs by using Adobe Lightroom CC.

I'll see you in class!
