Hello All,

Not very experienced with LR5. Any tips on best/quick,easy way to learn it. Doesn't look very user friendly , but given my experience that's to be expected.

Thanks,
Rich

I am still learning it myself, but the mentioned videos and just playing around with it I am getting a lot more comfortable with it. The Adobe TV has some great videos as well YouTube. There are a lot text based articles as well about setting up import and export settings that are really great, just look up Lightroom presets.

Thanks for the replies, I watched a few minutes of Julieannes' video and it was very good, still feel like a fish out of water ;-)

LR operates on a completely different level than most programs with the biggest difference being the lack of a "save" button. The learning curve is pretty steep at first but once you start to see how LR and PS deals with images it will all start to make sense. Keep working with it because once you "get it" you'll see why it's such a popular program.

Plenty of great videos out there, as mentioned. I am a huge advocate of the Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski book "Lightroom x For Digital Photographers" (there's a version for 3, 4 & 5). It does a great job of explaining the ins and outs of each section of the program. I believe the videos will get you working faster, but it's a nice reference to have. Matt also did a terrific video series for NAPP, but you need to be a member to access it and unless you're looking to dive head first into Photoshop as well it's not worth the price of admission given the free tutorials out there.
