Diploma In Advanced Lightroom Editing

What you'll learn

The ultimate advanced Lightroom image editing course with 65 comprehensive units on using the powerful image processing capability of Lightroom.

In this course, we take more complex editing concepts and apply them so that you can transform your images in a subtle and considered way.

Advanced image editing is not about creating weird and outlandish effects. It is gently and judiciously enhancing your images so they have the best impact, yet retain their original character. This is what we teach through the modules of the course.
