Welcome to the Adobe Lightroom Corps.

Thank you so much for enrolling in this video.

I just want to cover some of the different questions you might be wondering about this course first.

Is this really the right course for you.

Let me explain a little bit more about who designed this course for John and I came together to make

this course for beginner to intermediate photographers who might have a DSL are or mirrorless camera

that they've played around with.

Maybe you're just shooting photos on your phone but you want to make your photos look better.

You see those photos in magazines and online that just are amazing.

Most of those photos I would say ninety nine point nine percent of those have been edited and a lot

of those have probably been edited in Adobe Lightroom.

So we want to help you take your normal not so amazing photos and make them look amazing.

So for anyone that just loves photography this is a great course for you now that you know a little

bit more about who created this course for why should you take this course from us.

I know what it's like to pick instructors or try to pick instructors in college high school or just

with an online course or a YouTube tutorial.

And I know how painful it can be to sit through a boring instructor.

So we want to make sure that we are as engaging and excited about later as possible so that you can

get excited too.

To this day I've had over 200000 students enroll in my courses and most of them have enjoyed them.

And John is a professional photographer who runs his own photo studio.

Together we have years of digital photography and instruction experience.

But most importantly we just love photography and we love seeing students of ours go through our courses

and really achieve their dreams with the instruction that we give them.

You may be wondering is this course going to be boring or not.

If you're excited about this topic of photo editing and photography in general this is going to be a

great class for you if you're only mildly interested you might get bored fast.

Does that make sense.

But I think if you're excited about photography you're going to want to binge watch these lessons just

like you would a TV show that you're really excited about.

And then lastly just a few quick tips for taking this course.

We've included practice photos that you can download and edit along with us in this lesson we've included

some downloadable zip files that include all of my sample photos and all of John's sample photos throughout

the course.

We kind of flip flopped from section to section all teach one John will teach one.

Sometimes we split up a section but you'll be able to find the photos just with the photos that you

download in this lesson.

Also we've added MP3 audio files for all of the editing lessons so that if you want to listen to the

lessons on the go or if you want to just listen to them while you're at it using Lightroom you can do

that too.

Those can be found in the next lesson.

Adobe Lightroom is always changing and growing.

We're going to be teaching this with the latest Adobe Lightroom Creative Cloud version and there's lots

of different buttons and aspects of the course that we go through.

But there's a couple of things that we skip over.

For example they have a maps tool a way to organize your photos based off of the map of the globe.

It's a cool feature but it's not the best way to organize photos.

So there's things like that we might skip over in this course.

But if there's ever anything that we did skip over or we didn't go into as much detail about let us

know we would be happy to either explain it further with the Q&A forum on the course or creating a completely

new tutorial for you because if you're wondering about it there's probably other people who also want

to know about it too.

Please give us any feedback you can to help us make this a better course with all of our courses that

I've ever created.

I know it's not perfect in the beginning and I depend on feedback from students like you to make it

the best course that it can be.

Thank you again for enrolling.

And we'll see you in the next lessons.

I hope you're excited because we sure are.
