Perfect Exposures from Histogram through Lightroom with Jared Platt

Jared provides very clear, very specific suggestions on how to make the best use of your camera's histogram. The only suggestion that I have to improve the class would be for him to talk about the basics of the histogram first: what it is, what it shows, how it works. He gets there, but you have to wait for it. Overall, a useful class about an important photographic tool. Jared's photos do an excellent job of illustrating his points.

I know I like a class when I come away learning something I thought I knew but really didn't. For example, the section on camera presets was something I could never see myself using, but now I could see how they could be very useful. There were other examples of when my understanding of exposure were expanded or made clear and that made the class well worth the cost.

Great class! Very clear and straight to the point. There is a lot of incorrect information related to histograms out there, but Jared explained perfectly! I recommend doing the assignment he suggests with your own images (third lesson), this really helped me to understand what my camera´s "proper exposure" is. A real game changer! Thanks!

I LOVED this class! I am not a newbie but learned a ton of valuable knowledge that I can use to strengthen my skills.

A lot of good information to understand how to use the histogram and get the best exposure. I think I will have to watch it over again, to get the most of it...!

My Favorite CreativeLive Course! I am a lower-level intermediate photographer and this course was right on point for filling my knowledge gap. I have been plagued with exposure issues since beginning and this class helped so many things finally "click." He was dropping nuggets like gold! I especially loved his tidbit on white balance in a dark theater and using the Kelvin setting. That is going to be a game changer for me with my architecture photography and dealing with color cast.

Jared gives clear info on understanding the histogram and how to adjust your settings accordingly in the camera - I'm finally comfortable reading and using the histogram info! The section on making adjustments in Lightroom based on the histogram was also helpful, but the in-camera info was what made this class so valuable to me.

Very comprehensive for non fluent english. Very smart tips!

Great information! I'm going to need to watch this a few times and practice to get it to sink into my thought process.

Awesome class. Learned a huge helpful hint for my real estate photography,

One of his best! Packed full of information and presented very well!

Finally I found a class focused on understanding and explaining Exposure. With so many examples and visual aids, Jared does an excellent job of conveying his ideas and concepts. This class absolutely filled in the gaps of my understanding on how to correctly compensate the camera's exposure settings to achieve great pictures. He also is an awesome instructor. I rate the course 100%. Not an expensive course either.

Perfect! Highly recommend watching this. He's straight and to the point. Learned a lot in a short period. 5 stars for sure.

Lots of great information. I thought by the preview that I wouldn't pick up much, but boy was I wrong! Very informative. Stuff I never learned that will help me for years to come. I would watch more courses from Jared Platt, he's good at teaching.

Jared broke down the histogram and its impact on exposure for various levels of photographers to understand. Great class!!!

Insightful info about histograms, but I wish there were one more lesson that dealt only with exposure settings in Lightroom as the title of the class implies. This class focuses primarily on camera settings and how to create perfect exposures with only your camera.

This is the class one Exposure I've been looking for! Jared is a wonderful teacher very clear and concise. Great at expressing his thoughts and ideas. I was hooked from the first lesson and sad when the last one ended.

This course contained much more than I expected. Particularly good if you've started in film and need to drop old rules to take advantage of digital. Jared is clear and knowledgeable. Excellent

Jared definitely goes into some depth explaining the histogram and why it's important to understand and ALSO adjust the exposure settings based on what the histogram is showing. It is quite technical at times, but he explains things in several different ways so most people will "get it" in the end. I'm quite a lazy photographer at times: I either bracket or rely on Lightroom to cover up my less than optimal exposure settings. I think Jared has encouraged me to think about this a little more when actually taking the shot.

Awesome class! Jared is an excellent instructor. Recently, I heard about over exposing my images to better prepare for printing. This class addressed that topic and covered how to determine the right amount of exposure for my camera.

Jared is quite technical in his explanations of exposure and using the histogram, but he makes it all very approachable and understandable. He explains it multiple ways using examples and showing the back of the camera until you really "get it". Even when I think I already understand the topic he's discussing I always learn more, not only about my camera, but also photography and post-processing. His classes are always filled with nuggets and take-aways, and he's fun to listen to.

Many instructors "talk" about the histogram, I've never found one who has broken it down into such an easy subject. I just watched the class for free during Photoshop Week but will also be purchasing to watch again. Thank you Jared!
