Lightroom Overview
Adobe Lightroom provides all the tools to you need to bring out the best in your photography. Lightroom includes powerful new ways to manage and organise your photographs to optimise your workflow. From enhancing colours and make dull-looking shots more vibrant to removing distracting objects and straightening skewed shots.
Our one day Lightroom training course is ideal for newcomers to Lightroom and those with limited experience with the software.
The course teaches you the entire Adobe Lightroom workflow from importing your photographs, to enhancing them, and then finally preparing them for export.
The training covers all the Adobe Lightroom modules including the library, develop, map, slideshow, print, book and web modules. We do not split these modules across separate courses like other providers.
Special attention is paid to the develop module as this contains a lot of the power of Lightroom.
Course Outcomes
By the end of the training course, delegates will be able to use Adobe Lightroom to perform the following :
- Effectively organise and manage large collections of photographs
- Understand the histogram and identify image problems
- Enhance photographs beyond what the camera provides
- Retouch photos and add special filters and effects
- Output photo collections for publishing to print or web
Course Requirements
To attend the Introduction to Adobe Lightroom course you should have experience using either the Windows or the Mac operating systems, be capable of basic file management and know how to use standard menus and commands.
No previous design or graphics/image editing software experience is required, however, a basic knowledge of photography, a bit of creative flair and an eye for detail are always helpful. Previous experience using any of Adobe's Creative Suite software is also beneficial but not essential.
Course Description
The Adobe Lightroom course starts with a break down of the Lightroom interface. We look at what is contained within each of the Lightroom modules. The library, develop, map, slideshow, print, book and web modules are all covered on this course.
The Library module provides the opportunity to view, sort, manage, organise, compare, and rate the photos in your collections. It’s the primary module for cataloging photos after importing them into Lightroom. It also allows us to pick the photographs that we might want to add to our output projects. The Map module is also covered at this point to allow us to add or edit any GPS information provided by the camera.
The Develop module lets you enhance your photo's colour and tone to give them a more professional and finished look. The develop tools also include red eye, spot removal and various filters including graduated and radial types. All the adjustments you make in Adobe Lightroom are nondestructive so any changes can be undone.
The slideshow, print, book and web modules all provide customised output from Lightroom. The course looks at each of these in detail so that you can easily output photography collections in professionally formatted templates for screen and print. This includes video presentations, coffee table style photography books and custom picture packages.

Lightroom Course Feedback - 4.8 out of 5.0 stars
"Opportunity for hands-on use of the various aspects of Lightroom - Very useful information on aspects of Lightroom that I was not aware of, and on the file-handling system, which I did not understand before" - Chris
"A combination of the above items all being excellent. The fact that each student has their own computer for the day is very helpful, and that does not always happen on some courses - check before you sign up ! - An excellent day's instruction which will help me a lot with my photos, and good value for money as well. Thanks very much Bjorn." - John
"As it says on the box, it is a good all round introduction to Adobe Lightroom. - All very positive and thankfully as I expected, I can now develop my skills with a good foundation from the course." - Marc @ Personal
"Relaxed , friendly atmosphere and Bjorn's knowledge of his subject. - Both courses were exactly what I personally wanted and needed to become confident and proficient in using both Lightroom and In-design. Many thanks !" - Chris @ North Lodge Equine
"Easy to understand how to make the changes as we are doing it in real time. It makes a massive difference being able to have a go. I really liked the fact we went from opening up a document and followed the process right through to exporting a picture. - Really good course with lots of helpful hints and tips. I also really appreciated the fact that Bjorn answered a query of mine that turned out to be a Photoshop one rather than a Lightroom one. Excellent delivery from Bjorn and a lovely atmosphere to learn in. Thank you for making it all really easy to understand, it's going to be really useful to me." - Anonymous

Course Software
The trainers of our Adobe training courses are familiar with most previous versions of Adobe's Creative Suite and therefore will be able to guide your learning no matter which version of the software you have. We try to provide course content that is generic to versions CS3 to CS6, but your trainer will also showcase the features of the latest version. Currently we now demonstrate the functionality of the Creative Cloud suite.
