Lightroom & Photoshop Workflow Courses

I’m on the Adobe Evangelist team and want to share with you the fastest and most efficient ways to use Adobe Lightroom Classic CC and Adobe Photoshop CC.

Photographers often complain (or brag) about being up late every night retouching. By learning what I share here, you’ll take the “work” out of “workflow” and literally gain hours a day back in your life.

The workflow starts however in the camera. The more we do correctly in camera, the better and faster our workflow is once we open Lightroom. To get the most out of these courses and nail your exposures and color in camera, check out the Lighting courses first.

Then I recommend going through these in this order.


1. Photo Workflow with Lightroom CC & Photoshop CC (4 hours of instruction)
