Very comprehensive. Recommend it. But I honestly have to admit the longer I am in this one it becomes chaotic and too wordy. I had moments I wanted to quit this one because once it's halfway I miss some structure.

Ben does a good job in reviewing the material as with most of his presentations although it can be a little tedious at some points. Even so, I would be the most people reviewing their keyword list would find typo's and duplicated entries that could be corrected.

Excellent, thorough class. Thank you!

Enjoyed the first class. Checking about the routine of doing a class each day. Can I save each class when necessary? Some days I can't do the class that day (like today with the second class) but can catch up. Anna

A very thorough and well thought out class. Ben covers all details of what Lightroom does and how to utilizes the functions within it. This will teach you the fundamentals of post processing and how to get more out of your photos. I'm very happy with the purchase.

this is very in depth, which i enjoy. but the version he is using is quite a bit different than the most current one, which sometimes can be hard.

This class is an absolute must if you are new to LR. Ben does a great job explaining the features of LR. He breaks them down into understandable concepts and then reviews the concepts at the end of each lesson. If this is not part of your video library, by all means add this class (and many more of Ben's classes) to your learning library!

I love this class! very plain and simple. On question though.What version of LRC is he using?I have the latest version and there seems to be a few changes in the interface. I am using LRC 10.4 / CR 13.4

Great class for absolute Lightroom beginners. Love it so far!

Ben does a great job of explaining the "why" in addition to the "how". He offers the benefit of his extensive knowledge and experience to teach you a working knowledge of the program.

Ben Willmore is absolutely excellent. Explains very clearly all aspects of Lightroom in a very clear and concise down to earth way and even explains how he personally uses Lightroom himself on his own images. I can very highly recommend this course and especially more than anything else Ben Willmore.

I'm a beginner photographer and I always thought LR was too confusing and difficult to learn. I tried different online classes and gave up very quickly. I found this class browsing online (I got lucky!), I'm only on day 4, and I can't believe what I have learnt so far! Ben Willmore, you are truly amazing, you make everything so clear and easy to understand and the learning process with you is very fast and 100% guaranteed. I love everything about the structure of the classes and I can't wait tomorrow for day 5! THANK YOU

What a wonderful Lightroom course! In depth and extremely useful. Ben is a truly great instructor and very generous of his knowledge, plus you can watch and listen to him for hours.. He gives full of tips and tricks of the trade. And the course material and homeworks bring you a step further. I wish I discovered this course years ago. Can't recommend highly enough. Thanks!

It is definitely in my top 10 list of training courses in Creative Live. Ben is knowledgeable and practical, simplifying the whole process. The Facebook group a plus and a great community to continue learning and exchange experiences with others. Thanks, Ben! Great job!!!!!

I was taking a lightroom course from another provider and decided to give Creative live a shot as I wasn't happy with the other class. This class blows that one out of the water! I love the detailed instructions, he goes at a good pace and I love the transcription (I didn't even know that was there until I scrolled down). I would definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn lightroom. Thank you Ben for giving this great class!

This class was a miracle for me. I have had Lightroom for a number of years and had no idea what a great tool and resource it is. Ben provides clear guidance with well designed lessons and demonstrations, and the foundation guidance will set me up for lots of creativity, and more time for photo shoots and expression. Thank you.

What an excellent course! Highly detailed, very organized, seamless teaching. It's very much a "teach a man how to fish" kind of course. Great teacher, excellent homework and very well structured

So far really an opening. I have been using PS sense version 2.0 about 20 years. And Bridge. Learning LR has really sped up my workflow and this course is great! Thanks Ben

This is a great course. Ben explains things very well, with clear illustrative examples for each of the concepts that he is presenting. The course is long and full of a lot of information. It is a commitment to go through the entire class. Several things that helped me, 1) the first few sessions are a bit of a slog in which you are learning the gears behind the photo handling before you really get to the photo processing. But they are necessary. Don't give up too quickly. For the most part, even these sessions are interesting. My only minor criticism is that Ben goes off on a few tangents that are good information, but break the flow of understanding while trying to get the basics (e.g. explaining how to make a graphic logo in Photoshop). But this is a minor criticism, and you can fast forward through anything that you think is not relevant to you. Once you get through the first few lessons, then you will start to get to the interesting meat of the class on developing the photos. I found going back to the early sessions once I have gotten through the whole thing helped cement the concepts into my (admittedly) cement-head. 2) If you have two monitors, set yourself up to have the class on one monitor and LR open on the other monitor so that you can play along on images as Ben is going through the lesson. It is much better than watching the lesson and then trying to experiment afterwards - there is simply too much information. You can start and stop the lesson if you start to fall behind, or rewind if you missed something. I did it with LR on my laptop and the class piped to my TV as a secondary monitor. Ben in full wide-screen HD is a vision to behold (LOL). Because there is so much information, I realized that I can't apply everything right off the bat. But being exposed to it keeps it in the back of my mind, so that when I get to photos that have a particular challenge, I can go back to the lessons and review them. LR is quite intuitive once you have used the features, but since it has so many features, it takes some time, patience, practice and relearning to be comfortable using them all.

Definitely learned a lot, gives a great overview of everything, while also going into details. However, I found it was a bit long and the topics could have been explained quicker. After a while, I got a bit tired and it was hard to concentrate. But now that I've finished it, I'd say it was worth it. Just wouldn't want to watch it a second time.

I had read the only bad review before watching the free class showing. I also had purchased a Lightroom class, but thinking I was getting the Classic, only to find out it was CC, the mobile. It wasn't the authors mis-representing the class, but my own confusion, added by Adobe's way of causing newbies to go 'huh?'. I totally appreciated Ben's teaching style, and explaining from the onset the differences between the two versions, and how to use both together. I had only caught the first few hours of the presentation, and then the next morning with the ending. The total of 24 hours worth of instruction is amazing, but needed one bite at a time. With this course, I know I will achieve my long time goals of learning this product that I've fiddled with unsuccessfully since the old version 3. This is certainly a class worth purchasing! Thanks Ben.

As a beginner user of LR this course was excellent. Ben provided enough basic information for understanding the software, but went into a lot of detail as he described the functionality of the software. The course is very organized and understandable. Excellent course, I highly recommend it!

Entering day 4 and I already feel like I finally understand the process of import and organizing files! This is a great class.

This class is excellent. Ben is a clear, informative, thorough teacher. I have only completed 4 days of the 20 days of instruction. The manual and homework and PDF explanations are very good. The only complaint I have is that the pictures (Bens Smart Collections) files only open on my Mac with one picture. I tried unzipping with Ben's instructions, with internet instructions using terminal application, and using Archive Utility. I know this is a course that was created a few years ago, and now Lightroom has the new 2019 updated edition which I have, so perhaps that's why the pictures are not in the file. too bad, but I have plenty of my own pictures to practice with.
