(Even if You're a Total Beginner at Lightroom)
"The pace, length and tone of each video was just right - with each step clearly explained with the beginner in mind - and SO many tips and tricks that I use now on all my photos. THANK YOU! I feel it was money well spent and I love that I can go back anytime and rewatch the videos."

It took me two minutes to edit this photo in Lightroom. Then I copied the same changes to dozens of shots from that location.
That speed comes from the repeatable editing process I built 10 years ago. The same process reveals beautiful details hidden in my RAW files.
I've shared this process since 2016. For this new version, I partnered with a world-class landscape photographer to combine our editing skills in one completely updated course.
Zach is a world-class landscape photographer from Canada, with years of experience. His simple RAW editing steps reveal the hidden beauty in each landscape.
His work has drawn more than 149,000 Instagram followers. The same work has helped him build a successful business selling prints.
Behind it all is a repeatable workflow that lets Zach edit hundreds of images in minutes, not hours. Now he's ready to share that same fast, practical process with you.
Edit hundreds of photos at once, in 15 minutes or less. This recently updated course shows you how in both Lightroom and Lightroom Classic.
The 7 core modules contain 33 short videos and run for 5 hours 5 minutes. The 11 bonus videos bring the full package to 44 videos.
But this isn't just a tour of Lightroom tools. Zach shows you how they work together in one fast, repeatable editing process.
Since the first version launched in 2016, 18,562 students have used it while we've kept adding lessons as Lightroom changed.
Lightroom changed enough that we rebuilt the course from the ground up.
Zach and I combined the process I've taught since 2016 with the fast workflow he uses in his own print business.
The result is a current course that helps you create polished, natural-looking images without being a pro or losing hours at your screen.
Whether you use Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, or Lightroom mobile, the course shows how to turn separate tools into one smooth editing workflow.
From your first import to your final export, each lesson builds on the last and moves you through the process step by step.
Here's What You'll Be Able to Do:
“Effortless Editing with Lightroom 3.0” helps you find the hidden details in your photos and bring them to life.
Here's what that can look like.
One of my favorite tips brought out blue skies I didn't even know were in the photo.
Every technique uses plain language. You can follow each step without fighting through a wall of jargon.
See how it works in this example:
You don't need past Lightroom experience to follow this process.
Picture this.
Before you open Lightroom, your presets and plan are ready. You know which photos to keep and where to start.
You open the app without that old worry about the full album waiting for you. A few simple shortcuts make the first picks feel almost automatic.
Then you move into the Develop module and make the main changes.
Within two minutes, your first photo is finished. You can copy many of those settings across the rest of the album.
By the 15-minute mark, you're shaping color, clarity, and the vignette. The whole set begins to look polished and consistent.
When you're done, the album looks bright and natural. Each image has a clean finish that feels consistent across the set.
Instead of hiding the results on your computer, you feel ready to share the full set and proud to put your name on it.
And because the process moves faster, you can get back behind the camera sooner.
This Workflow Helps You:
Old photos get another chance when you open a forgotten RAW file and bring out the scene you remember.

After completing the course, the color and clarity of my photos improved immediately -- thank you. You have made me a better photographer. Not only did you teach me how to use Lightroom, but you also taught me about the attributes of photos such as hue, saturation, luminance, et al.
StudentIn the past year or so, I have tried two other paid tutorials and this one finally hit home. I had a little photography knowledge, but zero experience with Lightroom, but the easy teaching style really helped! The pace, length and tone of each video was just right - with each step clearly explained with the beginner in mind - and SO many tips and tricks that I use now on all my photos (or at least I'm not scared to experiment with). THANK YOU! I feel it was money well spent and I love that I can go back anytime and rewatch the videos.
StudentEverything was very clearly explained at a good pace - not too fast! I liked the order in which the lessons were arranged, going from the nuts and bolts of importing images and organizing them to the more 'fun' elements of editing. With this too I found that the complexity of the tutorials increased gradually - from global to local adjustments - making them easier to follow. All-in-all a very interesting and enjoyable course, thank you.
StudentI am new to Lightroom and was very confused after purchasing. I found Effortless Editing with Lightroom and bought it. I absolutely Love it! After going over tutorials from others I found yours to be very clear about how Lightroom works and honestly even though I've completed the course I now go to it for specifics on what I intend doing to a photo. You've made it easy for anyone wanting to learn the program from a beginners stand point.
StudentAn interesting and useful course. The lessons were well presented and easy to follow. Very useful tips and a good introduction to Lightroom for the beginner.

Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, and Lightroom mobile play different roles, so this module helps you choose the right app and use it with confidence.
Keep your photos organized across all three. Then you can edit from your phone when you're away from your computer.
With the right setup, Lightroom keeps even a large photo library in order. Your images stay easy to reach from any device.
You can also speed up your editing when you:
Simple shortcuts copy settings across a full set, so you don't have to repeat the same work.
Most of your edit takes shape when you start with the whole photo, then move to the fine details.
Color Grading wheels replace Split Toning. The newer tool gives you more control over the colors in your image.
When one part of your image needs extra care, these tools let you adjust it without changing the rest:
Lightroom's Select Subject tool also helps you isolate a subject with far fewer clicks.
Share your photos without harming image quality, then keep thousands of files and collections safe, so the time behind each edit isn't lost.
You can also export several batches in one step. Each batch can use different settings.
Presets apply the same changes to many photos with one click. A full set can feel consistent from the start.
Make your own presets for a look that feels like yours. Then import new presets straight from a ZIP file.
Lightroom mobile and Creative Cloud keep your photos in sync. Start at your desk and keep editing elsewhere.
This module walks you through a full mobile edit. You can edit your photos from almost anywhere with confidence.
Bonus #1Value $49
Have you ever forgotten a shortcut or hit a key that did something odd? Keep this printable cheat sheet beside your screen.
It covers photo management and comparison, along with rating and filtering. Developing and exporting commands are there too, ready when you need them.
Bonus #2Value $199
Watch a full edit from start to finish. The whole process becomes much easier to picture.
The nine walkthroughs start with landscapes, portraits, and black-and-white photos. Then you'll work through twilight, nature, and sunset images.
Milky Way, food, and product photography complete the set. Each walkthrough includes the RAW image file, so you can follow every change as it happens.
Bonus #3Value $99
Have you ever wanted to see exactly how the pros process photos in Photoshop?
We do 98% of our processing in Lightroom. Some photos still benefit from a final touch in Photoshop.
This two-photo bonus follows Zach through a self-portrait and landscape edit, from adjusting facial shape, size, and width to adding an Orton effect.
Bonus #4Value $99
These Lightroom presets are easy to apply. Your RAW files stand out with more "pop".

Adobe updates Lightroom often, so we've kept the course current with new videos since the first version launched in 2016.
That first version covered desktop Lightroom. Today, the course also helps you edit on tablets and phones.
In 2019, Split Toning was the tool for shaping colors in an image. Adobe later replaced it with Color Grading, which looks very different.
Changes like these are why the course keeps evolving.
Since the first release, we've added 29 videos. Existing students received free access to the new content.
The whole course has now been filmed again. Current students keep the same free-update access.
Lightroom will change again. You won't need to start from scratch or buy the course again.
We'll keep the lessons current. Your automatic updates come at no extra cost.
RAW photos need processing before you share them. Lightroom gives you many ways to shape the final look.
You will learn how to edit black-and-white images in this course. But if you want every photo pushed into an obviously artificial look, this approach might not suit you.
The goal is a bright, polished image that still looks natural.
Our rule is simple. If the edit overwhelms the photo, we've gone too far.
A proven process can bring out the best in your photos. What would that be worth to you?
Good processing helps every photographer. A clear method can make your portfolio more consistent and bring detail back to your RAW files.
The thing is, Lightroom processing is such a powerful area of expertise, that training can be pricey. Private workshops of $1,000.00 aren't uncommon. That's the reason so few master it.
What's fantastic is this course covers everything you would learn in closed-door workshops (ones I attended)… And more. We've expanded the content while making it easier to grasp and use.

One week from now, your Lightroom routine could feel faster.
A finished set could be ready to share.
And you would know how to do it again.
That first good edit makes the next one feel less like guesswork.
Soon, the tools stop getting in the way.
The picture you had in mind starts to come through.
But nothing changes while those full folders stay untouched.
Put this off, and the same unfinished edits could still be waiting three months from now.
You do not need to transform every photo today.
Start with one.
Bring it to life.
Then let that result pull you into the next.
I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't chosen to act.
That first step gave me a faster way to edit well—and enjoy the process.
You can choose the same kind of start. Effortless Editing with Lightroom gives you a clear path to stronger photos. Only you can take the first step.
The choice is yours.

Five Ways Your Editing Changes
Lightroom has a tool for everything. The course gives you one clear sequence to use them in. The difference shows up the first time you sit down to edit.
Open a folder of hundreds of photos and know exactly where to start.
Finish a full shoot to one standard so every photo comes out consistent.
Bring out the detail and color hidden in your RAW files so your photos look alive.
Keep your edits natural so your images stay believable instead of over-processed.
Go back through old shoots and give them the edit they deserved.
Taught by a Pro
Zach is a Canadian landscape photographer who sells his prints online. His edits rely on simple steps that reveal what the RAW file already holds rather than heavy effects. He built his own workflow to edit a shoot in batches.
Adobe made big changes to Lightroom. So Josh Dunlop asked Zach to refilm the whole course. Together they produced “Effortless Editing with Lightroom 3.0”. You learn the steps Zach uses on his photos.

The Three-Step Workflow
Bring the shoot into Lightroom and keyword it as you go. Rate and filter with a few shortcuts so your favorites rise to the top in minutes.
Edit one image in the Develop module until the light and color look right. Then sync those settings across the shoot and tweak the photos that need it.
Use brushes and masks on the parts that matter. Remove a blemish or blur the background behind your subject. Then export without losing image quality.
A Faster Lightroom Workflow
Finish one strong image in a few minutes, then share those adjustments across the rest of the shoot. The course gives you a repeatable workflow so hundreds of files stop feeling like hundreds of separate jobs.
Rate and filter a large shoot with a few shortcuts. Your keepers rise to the top without opening every file twice.
Finish one photo, then copy the shared adjustments across the whole series. Only the exceptions need individual attention.
Use the same process on the photos already sitting on your drive. Reveal the colour and detail you missed the first time.
