TESTIMONIAL
I found the course to be exceptional. There were aspects of the power of Lightroom that I did not think possible and it showed me that there is a lot more to Lightroom than just knowing how to edit your photos, how the course was presented allowed for discussions, questions, and guidance. The pace of the course was great, and I never felt that the course was being rushed. Rory encouraged “homework” between sessions to practice what we had learned and then took time to explain. SLB
