Is this course for you?
This course is designed for photographers who want to feel more confident using Lightroom, understand what the editing tools actually do, and develop a simple workflow for turning their RAW files into polished, professional images.
YOU'RE OFTEN NOT SURE WHERE TO START
You open Lightroom and see a range of tools and sliders, but you're not sure what to adjust, when to use each tool or where to begin.

You want to move beyond basic adjustments and learn how to use Lightroom's editing tools and masks to bring out the best in your images.
YOU WANT A SIMPLE, REPEATABLE WORKFLOW
You want an easy-to-follow editing process you can use consistently, rather than adjusting sliders at random hoping for the best.

“I've done several online courses with Meghan & enjoyed them immensely. It has been wonderful to do this at my own pace but have Meghan's full support in the background. Meghan has the skill of using everyday language to break down the technical barriers. I loved the practical sessions on Lightroom and feel like I have already made strides ahead.”

-
This course is suitable for photographers who are new to Lightroom as well as those who already use it but want to understand the program better and develop a more confident, consistent editing workflow. I take you through the process step by step, so you don't need to be an experienced editor.
-
You can access the course on a computer, tablet or phone, provided you have an internet connection. Because this is an editing course, I recommend watching on a larger screen where possible so you can clearly see the tools, settings and adjustments being demonstrated.
-
I demonstrate my editing using Adobe Lightroom Classic which is the desktop version. You can still use Lightroom CC (cloud version) but the names and positions of the tools will look different.
Over time, the layout and individual tools may change as Adobe updates the software, but the core editing principles and techniques covered in the course still remain relevant.
-
No. The majority of the course focuses on Lightroom. I do demonstrate how Lightroom and Photoshop can work together for some more complex edits, but you can choose at a later date whether you want to add Photoshop to your workflow based on your needs.
