10 great video tutorials for Lightroom

This time I'll just let others talk about Lightroom. I've collected 10 video tutorials from Youtube that might be of interest for some of you. Most of us are so eager to start playing around with new software and stuff (cellphones or TV etc) that we often forgetthe "other" great features of it. With this in mind I thought that this list of video tutorials might open your eyes to some features you've might have seen but not yet tested in Lightroom. Learning by practice is always a good way to do it, but to first see it being done by somebody else is even better...

  1. I have tried the luminance trick on blue skies a couple of days ago (and in that sense found how it works before viewing the tutorial). What I discovered is that it adds some color noise to the photo and hence that needs to be countered by increasing the color noise reduction in the Details palette. It does not affect a desaturated photo, of course.

  2. Thank-you so much, these were great and easy to follow. I’m new to lightroom and watching just a few of your tutorials is now saving me HOURS of post work.

  3. Hi Estie,
    Thanks for your comment.
    I’ve tested all embedded videos and can confirm they all work just fine for me.

  4. Great videos. Thanks. If anyone needs help with digital photo library management, you should check out these Lightroom Workflow tutorials. http://mulita.com/blog/?page_id=2
    Not free ($29.95) but so worth it. After watching these tutorials, I finally understand the Lightroom library features.

  5. Very strange … The page display only the titles for each video with a big empty space between them ! I manage to access the video searching the HTML source code for the video link …

  6. You just mentioned about 10 tutorials.softening is not working properly according to your tutorial. Can you just add some contrast to make the softening more attractive? Its the color combination what make the video/picture more attractive. So i expect more Detail video review on light room that really can help me to be good at this topic. By the way i was searching for how to add watermark on video and get this blog. I have solved my query and also learn some new topics. Good wishes with you
