What is the best online place to learn PS LR etc.? Learning everything... from basics to advanced. Learning things I didn't even know existed.
Thank you!

YouTube is the obvious answer, lots and lots of videos on Lightroom at least. I've watched quite a few from Anthony Morgant and like him, but there are others. B&H has a channel, you'd have to root around in there for a while, but they have some longer Lightroom things. Adobe also posts short tutorials on their website.

Thank you. Yes YouTube is great. But I want to learn things i don't know exist so I don't know how to search for it. I was hoping for a start to finish guide. Even if it cost money. Thank you very muchߙ

I think if you start watching some of these things they will throw out stuff you aren't aware of. Or pick some tab or function in Lightroom that you don't know about and do a search for it.

Although not free, I find the Matt Koslowksi Photoshop and Lightroom (external link) courses to be well structured and presented.

When purchased, you get to keep the material on your local PC (maybe Tablet too?) so there is no subscription model or requirement to be connected on-line.

The modules are descriptively and well titled and deal with discrete topics in reasonably short segments so you can usually navigate to what you want to explore quite easily. Matt also provides "cheat sheets" and "overviews" which further make it simple to navigate the downloaded media and material.

Cheers

Dennis

Depends on what you want to do with either program. I navigated towards fashion and portraiture, with the occasional product shot here and there. Took forever to learn on my own, and I've found that there's probably 10 ways to do everything in PS for example, and even now working as a freelancer on some decent gigs I barely use 10% in my estimation of what PS is capable of. I'd say narrow down what you want to focus on, or you'll spend years and years and a ton of money learning things you might never use (source: took calculus and ended up with an art degree....I've never needed to find a derivative in the 10 years since college lol). If youtube was as comprehensive when I started as it is now I'd have saved myself a lot of trial and error, and money.

Lynda seems decent from what I've seen, but I'd say you can learn just as much from youtube. Find out what you're trying to do, ask a forum "what method would you use for x?", then youtube it. I always liked the way Aaron Nace (sp?) from Phlearn did his videos, seemed easy enough to follow and fairly thorough too. Maybe start there.

Yes ... Morganti's You Tube tutorials are really good. And I find he is great at pointing you in the direction of stuff you didn't even know you didn't know.


David.
Comment and (constructive) criticism always welcome.

I've always enjoyed tutvid's You Tube channel:

Tutvideo (external link)

He does other Adobe products as well but if you start under his "Daily Workshop Tutorial" playlist I'm sure there's something in there you'll find interesting.
