Lightroom 4 Mastery with Ben Willmore

I'm transitioning to LR from PS Elements, so I'm familiar with editing photos. I signed up for Ben's class bundle mainly because of this class, and I'll probably be learning full PS in the near future, so the other courses will be helpful later on. Before learning about Creative Live, I signed up for a LR tutorial on Udemy, which seemed very basic & over-emphasized the cataloging features of LR with less instruction about editing. Ben's class was perfect for my needs. I learned enough to get set up and going, plus I can come back and review things that I'm not quite ready for (slideshows and books). I really liked the information about Curves and the gradient tool, since I haven't used those yet. Thank you!

I am new to Lightroom but comfortable in Photoshop. Ben was able to explain the Lightroom process succinctly and with valuable reinforcement. He has an amazing knowledge of every aspect that most overlook. I enjoyed this learning process and appreciate his expertise and willingness to share it.

Best online course taken! Approach is the same as eating an elephant ---one bite at a time!! Took the mystery out of a very complex application and made it understandable and useable.

Outstanding class and the handout material was top shelf. After only one day of using Ben's tips and the handout my photos editing time has dropped in half and are 100% more pleasing to the eye.

I have watched many Lightroom videos and Ben's is the best. He is very careful to describe and illustrate sufficiently to promote learning. Outstanding!

one of the very best classes i have purchased! Clear, concise thorough

Ben is an excellent instructor! The class has a logical flow and the instruction is easy to understand. The class is worth every penny! I'm glad I bought it because I can learn at my own pace and have the class to refer back to as I like. Over a period of a year+ I have learned bits and pieces of Lightroom. I wish I'd known about this class and Creative Live earlier.

Having just opened the package, this course helped me think about organization prior to "launching." It is so easy to start correctly rather than trying to rearrange and correct mistakes. Willmore's description of all phases of Lightroom was clear and easy to follow.

Very recommended! Takes you from the very basics to the most complex things that can be done in Lightroom. The best Lightroom course I´ve found. Totally worth it!

I was completely overwhelmed by the number of tools available in Lightroom. Ben went through step by step and made it easier to understand. Thank you.

If you don't know Lightroom, this is a HUGE help and launching pad. Lightroom is super intuitive, user friendly and quickens editing time by at least half!

I've been using Lightroom for several years. But I learned so much with Ben Willmore's class. He was organized, thorough and really knows how to explain something clearly and slowly enough to understand. This class is terrific!

Great course! Wish I could afford to buy it, so much information to retain on a short time

This is my second class with Mr. Willmore and I believe has has an excellent relaxed approach to his presentations. He along with Mr. Greengo are my favorites at this time.

I started these tutorials with a decent understanding of Lightroom, but even after a few of the lessons, my workflow began to speed-up. After the entire course, I was indeed a master. Ben is a patient and detailed instructor and I was thankful for the wisdom he shared.

First, having this class available means I can refer to new pieces all the time. This class helped me learn how to organize my photos and taught me the importance of keywords and captions so I could index and retrieve photos easily. The tools within Lightroom were explained well, and I feel like it has upped my game a good deal by understanding this program. I used to used iPhoto and thought it was "enough" but now I see how my own work has improved by being able to understand and control aspects of it - all things I learned in this class.

Awesome class! Help me to improve my skills in Lightroom like no other. Thank you so much!

Very thorough and clear explanations along with good examples and illustrations. I appreciate that when Ben isnt sure of something he says so, but follows up on providing the answers....there is so much capability in this program it is amazing. I am very glad to have the supplementary materials as it provides a quick recall of the key functions and how to use them. The bionus is that my previous mess of files in lightroom is now nicely organized and synced with my hard drive...yay!

This guy can flat out teach - he's up there with Greengo. I've watched a lot of different LR instructors and he's the best. Have him do another Lightroom course

I've been listening to the replay of this workshop and have learned so much already! Can wait to hear the rest to it!

Ben Willmore is such a warm and patient teacher who really knows how to teach what and in which order. Teaching is really his 'thing', unlike some other teachers who are mainly giving 'lectures' on how to do things, Ben is really compassionately showing the how and when without being preconceived, without assuming that you already know some thing. This makes me really feel at ease and at home! Coming from a Photoshop/CameraRaw/Bridge background, I was looking up against learning yet another complicated app for 'doing photo work', but felt comprised to do so because Adobe is heading in that direction where the old work flow will soon no longer be (fully) supported, and Lightroom will be ever so more. Though I still feel a little more at ease in the old work flow (doing it for so long), I know 'dig' the Lightroom buzz much more and consider going over. Thank you so much, Ben Willmore, for yuor (com)passionate teaching!

Since most photographers give classes on PS, it's just great having such a great teacher teaching LR. I don't have the time or money for PS and teachers like Aaron Nates work only with PS like most others. They all are great teachers and I watch even though I can't use what they teach, I don't consider it all a waste of time. Bill Willmore is one of those great teachers and goes into great detail. I would love to have the money to purchase this class as it's impossible to retain all the detail that he goes into.

Ben Willmore is a fantastic teacher. The PDF download is superb and worth the price of admission. If there was a way for me to do the techniques that Ben is teaching, with him, while he is teaching the technique, then that would be a perfect learning experience.

great class and well worth the money - I keep going back to the videos and have learned so much

I teach Lightroom 4 to beginners and I learned lots of new stuff in the first couple of hours :) I bought Ben's CL Photoshop and now I can use my CS6 software. Now thanks to Ben I can full use everything I need in LR4 as well. Not every teacher can be an online instructor but Ben is a master of long-distance learning. The hours fly by as Ben makes understanding complex software very easy. The only reason I bought both courses is there is so much content I couldn't take notes fast enough. Thanks Ben and thanks CreativeLive.com.
