Congratulations! By far... the best Lightroom tutorial for beginners I've seen so far. I've been using Lightroom for a long time and I love to watch how people try to explain "how easy" it is to use lightroom, and no one does really. 🤣🤣🤣 You simply nailed it. Great job. For sure I'll be watching more of your videos and will share them with my friends. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from those. Huge thanks. 👌👌👌

I have been using Lightroom for two years now and have been just winging it. This is the first time it has made sense! So glad I found you!

I'm a total newbie with LR Classic and photo editing in general, always shot JPEG and never edited. Finally shooting RAW and had no idea how to even start with LrC. This video was significantly helpful... Thank You!
