[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 564384, member: 34269"] I like LR. I like that when I import the photos I can pick the file it goes in and then separate the photos by date automatically. That is the way that I like to store them. I tend to rename them if I have a group of a specific type that I am importing otherwise I will do it after the fact based on the content. I do not think that there is a down and dirty 10 minute training out there, but I feel like for me it was not to hard to learn. I started out using the standard LR presets on the left column as a starting point. I would click as I went and if I did not like it I would do a Control Z to erase it or make a manual adjustment. The presets impact appear in the sliders on the right. You may have to scroll to see which one is affected. That is why I did one at a time. Sometimes if Ii have a number that appear similar in exposure and color I will select all of those photos,(they will all be highlighted), and pic one to represent them and make my adjustments to it, making sure that the auto sync is checked on the right side. Then you can go and make fine adjustments by clicking outside the photo in the gallery along the bottom and fine tune each picture. I also like HSL and for adjusting saturation and luminescence - you can actually click on the dot to the left of the column and slide it up or down in the photo to increase or decrease the values of the mix in the image. The brushes and filters across the top require a bit more explanation, but that is what YouTube is for. I have not invested in a lot of presets. Most of the time I am good with the LR standard ones as starting points. Just my thoughts... [/QUOTE]
