The course begins by guiding students through the process of importing and organizing photos. This includes instructions on selecting images using flags, stars, and ratings, using keywords and metadata for better organization, and navigating through the Quick Develop feature.
Next, the course dives into the Develop Panel, the heart of Lightroom where all editing takes place.

Detailed modules on sharpening, noise reduction, lens correction, vignetting, and the transform panel make sure you understand every nuance of the Develop Panel.

In the next section, the focus shifts to exporting and saving images. Students learn how to export images and open them in Photoshop without damaging the original file.
The course then proceeds to teach students how to create presets and profiles, the secret weapons of efficient editing. Here, they learn to create custom presets, locate them in Lightroom, create custom profiles from scratch, and convert LUTs into profiles.
The seventh section is particularly exciting as it features a real-time workflow, where students can follow along as the instructor edits various types of images such as landscapes, sunsets, family photos, night images, and bridal photos. This immersive experience helps students see the application of what they've learned in a practical setting.
Finally, the course wraps up by taking students through Lightroom's other modules - Map, Slideshow, Web, Print, and Book. These modules offer further tools and features for organizing, presenting, and sharing your photos.
