Can someone recommend trainers/training courses in Lightroom.

I use it and can do some basics but obviously I am missing a lot.

Where are some good places to go for training?

I would agree. Start with her videos; she dos a great job teaching and is easy to follow. There may also be a LR Summit in early 2024 - https://www.lightroomsummit.com/ . If so, I would sign up when it is announced. Lots of good instruction. There are other videos out there if that is what helps. If you want to read, the LR Queen has several books and e-books - https://www.lightroomqueen.com/ . The forums are also a good place if you need help. There are instructors out there like Laura Shoe https://laurashoe.com/ and Dan Hartford https://www.danhartfordphoto.com/ if you need 1:1 assistance.

Good luck,

Of course there is someone named Steve Perry who has offered lightroom courses on dedicated subjects. I think you can even find them on this site somewhere.

I am about half way through Steve's courses. He as usual gets to the heart of things and I usually find his advice sound.

Yeah his course got me started.

Besides @Steve Library module course I have found Matt K Light Room courses very helpful. https://mattk.com/about/

Just an FYI that Matt is in the process of adapting his workflow from LR Classic to LR Desktop. He ruffled some feathers with his announcement and it required some clarification after his initial post, so I am not sure how devoted he will be to LR Classic going forward.

I know. Matt and I had some e mail exchanges early on before his clarification posts. Matt agreed that for some like me who works with a lot clients that want specific bird images (heavy heirarchial key word user), map data (important for my e bird stuff) and I use the print module all off the time with my canon pro 100 and it works great that LRC is still the way to go.

As he has said in a lot of follow up vids etc. the editing stuff he teaches is still done on LRC. He got me convinced to try out LR Desktop for initial culling where I now use Photo Mechanic. I bought his new course but have not had time to go through it but if LR Desktop is as fast to use it just for initial culling then I can skip paying for that extra app.
