The Lightroom DVD – A Video Tutorial Series
Workshops on Video with Laura Shoe
“A wonderful tool! Laura Shoe is a master at explaining and clarifying the mysteries of Lightroom 3… Her method is elegantly simplistic and even a guy who is one-swing-out-of-a-tree, such as I, can comprehend the topic. This is individualized instruction at its best. One of the benefits of this video series is the user has the ability to go back as often as needed, to truly understand the topic. In short, you are going to hear a pro, who happens to be a superb teacher, explain the steps that will make your experience with Lightroom positive, rewarding and enjoyable. This video series is a 10+++++++++++++” Raleigh H. (on Lightroom 3 Fundamentals & Beyond)
“I can’t recommend this training enough!!! This training was the RIGHT way to learn — teaching concept, theory and practice. I have read several Lightroom books, taken other online training, used it for years and I STILL learned a ton from the DVD. From the first lessons, it is obvious that Laura is a professional instructor (which is rare in this type of technical training). The training is clear and well organized with just enough detail. A very good investment!” Jim L. (on Lightroom 3 Fundamentals & Beyond)

I have never used Lightroom at all. Now I have LR3. Can you video help me learn this software. I feel so frustrated trying to learn it. I don’t have a starting page. I am just jumping around. HELP.

Hi Monica:
I was in your same situation a couple of months ago. I bought Lightroom 3 several earlier and it was of no use to me until I purchased Laura’s Lightroom 3 Fundamental and Beyond. This DVD was a tremendous help in getting me started and a great reference tool for reviewing step by step most of the features. Now I love Lightroom 3 and still have lots to learn but am enjoying the experience. I think the DVD would be a big help to you……….Howard
Thank you for sharing your experience, Howard! I am happy to hear that it has been so helpful to you.
Definitely, Monica! I understand your frustration — there are many things about Lightroom that are not intuitive or obvious to beginners, and things can get frustrating and out of hand quickly. I believe you will find that my DVD/download is well worth the investment, and that once you get past the learning curve, you will really like the program and enjoy using it to manage and enhance your photos. You can pause or stop the videos at any point to practice, and you can watch them multiple times. I have hundreds of satisfied customers — above are testimonials from some.
Best,
Laura
PLEASE make a Photoshop CS5 DVD/Download!!
It’s on the list, Larry! I’m waiting for CS6.
When do you think CS6 will available? I am glad you are workiing on a tutorial for CS6.
I don’t know, Karolyn … I think 2012 is a safe bet!
Hi Laura,l’ve just spent the most informative week workig through your fantastic Fundamentals and Beyond DVD, Only wish l had been able to aquire it years ago ,it would have solved a huge number of problems l’ve been having with Lightroom in the past,especially the filing of images.Thanks to you. l am now looking forward to using LR. with far more confidance in the future. Have a happy Christmas and a wonderful holiday. Cheers from Down Under !
Thank you for the wonderful note, Albert! I am happy to hear that it has been helpful to you!
Will you update the DVD’s once Lightroom 4 is formally released, following the beta testing??
Hi John, yes, I will release a Lightroom 4 version of Lightroom Fundamentals and Beyond. Purchasers of the Lightroom 3 version will receive an upgrade discount. I also plan to release a series on Lightroom’s output modules.
I can’t recommend this training enough!!! This training was the RIGHT way to learn which is teaching concept, theory and really understanding what Lightroom is doing. I have read several LR books, taken other online training, used it for years and I STILL learned a ton from the DVD. I get so tired of other competitive training that teaches “buttonology” and menu memorizing which is not the right way to truly understand a product. From the first lessons, it is obvious that Laura is a professional instructor (which is rare in this type of techincal training). The training is clear and well organized with just enough detail. I found myself taking notes and replaying lessons on issues that I was having trouble understanding. A very good investment!
I have Adobe Lightroom 3, I would like to buy your Fundamental & Beyond DVD, which version I should buy one for Lightroom 3 or for Lightroom 4
Hi Raman, for complete consistency, I would go with the Lightroom 3 one. You might otherwise get confused when I start talking about a feature in Lightroom 4 that you can’t find. The Basic panel controls are also different, and this is a critical panel.
Thank you for your interest!
Hi Laura,
Just bought Lightroom 4 and I am a complete newbie. Is there any way I can preview one of your chapters on the DVD of Lightroom 4 fundamentals? Just want to make sure that I can understand the way you explain things and I like it before I can spend the $50 -$60 on the DVD.
Thanks!
Hi Joe, thank you for your interest in my video series. Here are some samples from the LR 4 series:
A couple on importing — the versions here are not as high quality/resolution as in the product available for sale, but they are certainly good for judging style and content:
