One of my all time favorite instructors and photographers, Chris Orwig, has just updated his hugely popular Adobe Lightroom video tutorial on Lynda.com with a new tutorial on the features included in Lightroom 1.1. It is a 2 hour tutorial broken down into several small segments. Highlights include a nicely detailed explaination of catalogs and how to use them effectively with several computers, i.e. your laptop on the road and your studio pc, modifying catalog settings, and more.
Chris has a great way of making the most mudane and dull workings of software seem fun and exciting! Wow..who knew deconstructing the Lightroom database workings could be so much fun! But by doing this you have a better understanding of how it all works so you can use Lightroom more effectively - AND in a way that makes sense so you “get it” the first time!
I highly recommend that if you are new to Lightroom that you check out Chris’s first Lightroom tutorial before you see the 1.1. update. Other great titles by Chris on Lynda.com are Adobe Photoshop CS3 Creative Photographic Techniques, and Photoshop CS3 AND CS2 for Digital Photographers. It is a must see!
