  • In today's video I'm taking you on a tour of Lightroom Classic! I'll be explaining the interface, how to import and export photos and explain what every tab and slides does to your photographs. If you're currently editing in LR CC, iPhoto or Photoshop, this is going to be a great introductory video that will show you what Lightroom Classic is capable of!

    You are such a wonderful teacher, Katelyn. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the vast amount of educational resources you have created over the years for photographers like me. I am always wanting to learn, grow, and improve as a photographer, and I learn best from organized, encouraging, truly knowledgable photography instructors like you. Please don't ever stop teaching!!!! 🙏

    I apologize for watch 5 other of your videos without subscribing, that ended today, this was the one!!! Great job!!!

  • @candissdelcastillo7863

    Would love it if you would teach on Lightroom classic, one video per category of editing. Really slow, really broken down to the most elementary molecule.

    I've been struggling with the switch from LR to LRC for some time, but you've helped me tremendously, Katelyn just with this video alone ... thank you so much!

    Great video. I love all the things you can do more easily now in LRC, particularly with masking and just selecting people and objects.

    I loved this so much! Thank you for breaking it down a bit. You truly have such a gift in teaching. I'd love to understand more about the color mixer, color grading, and callibration tools.

    I have used Lightroom in the past but not often in recent years and 🤯 Thanks for sharing! I want to get back into it now!

    This was great! I have been wanting to use light room for a while and then I chicken out. I’ve only used P.S. You have made it look so much easier than I thought and so clear in your explanations. I can’t wait to dive in. 🎉

    I'd love to know about color range and luminance range... what can you do with that in masking? This is AWESOME btw. Appreciate it.

  • @candissdelcastillo7863

    Definitely interested in masking in LRC!

    Please do a mini course or another series of CZcams videos on masking! That would be super super helpful!

    Hi Katelyn, How often do you create a new catalog?

  • @adventure_to_abundance
    @adventure_to_abundance Před 4 měsíci

    Great video, I purchased your consistency course a few days ago and was let feeling a little confused as the Lightroom classic version I had did not match what was being taught on the course.
    This video somewhat has helped me fill the gaps.. ie I was very confused about split toning as I could it find it at all in my LRC version. But I not see it’s had an upgrade and a name change.
    Will you be updating your course at all to help with some of this confusion on the changes?

    Do you edit on a laptop or a desktop computer. What do you recommend?

  • @MosleydollMUA

    So what happens if I don’t have a SD card inserted? When I go to import I have so many weird images which pop up which has nothing to do with my photo library. I cannot access my photo library on Lightroom classic whereas on library mobile they were already in there. So far I’ve learned that I’ve had to go into Photos export it as an unedited version and then drag it into Lightroom classic is this easiest way to do it ?? Otherwise I can just plug my camera straight into my Mac and import photos straight to Lightroom from there. I’m just talking about my previous raw photos

    I a right clicking and it doesn’t let me get rid of those other titles. What am I doing wrong?

  • @holdmacat9932
    @holdmacat9932 Před 5 měsíci

    Unfortunately you can't pirate lightroom anymore so have to change it to capture one

    Seems like there are a lot of things you [ don't use ] so for someone like me (a beginner when it comes to using LR), there are a lot of things I am NOT learning from this video. Referring to "masking", as a ardent Photoshop user, I correlate this to Layer masks (and Alpha Channels) and creating either selections or masks in Photoshop........but I can not determine if there is an actual correlation between masking in LR and masking in PS. My particular work involves creating very intricate Selections within a given image and saving these Selections in the Channels palette so I'm not sure if we are talking about the same (or similar) thing or not. ???? You have outstanding teaching skills but if you are not going to touch upon so many things (that you don't use), our "learning" is being hampered. However, I should remind everyone (including myself), your tutorials are "free" so we should not expect a comprehensive course so if you consider my comments out of line, please excuse me. Don't know if this is the place to ask but: How in the heck do you open an image that you're working on in LRC, in Photoshop? ACR and PS have always been my "home".

    I'm your mom and you lost me at about the 4th minute you started off beautifully simple and basic but got sidetracked onto many other features and got too deep.
