Welcome

- [Voiceover] Hi and welcome to Lightroom Essentials. My name is Chris Orwig, and in this course we'll begin by looking at how we can import our photographs and video files into Lightroom. Next, we'll cover topics like how we can work with the library module in order to view and compare our photographs. We'll also explore how we can rate and rank our images in order to select and find the keepers. And we'll cover topics like how to use Lightroom and Photoshop together in order to achieve the best results. Then we'll explore how we can work with the develop module.

There we'll cover topics like correcting exposure or converting an image to black and white. We'll examine how we can retouch away distractions or how we can bring light into a specific area of a photograph. We'll also explore how we can change and enhance color, or how we can fix issues like lens distortion. We'll cover other topics as well like creating a panoramic photograph from inside of Lightroom, or we'll look at how we can design a custom book, build a slideshow, or create a custom print layout.

So without further delay, let's begin.
