Nick Kelsh's ALL NEW INTERACTIVE COURSE:
INTERACTIVE FULL PARTICIPATION COURSE:
PHOTO EDITING
with LIGHTROOM
Adobe's Lightroom is clearly one of the premiere photo editing programs in the world. Its combination of editing and photo management features, and ease of use put it in a class by itself. Now, with dramatic new updates there's practically no reason at all why Lightroom shouldn't be your go-to editing program. So we're updating our Lightroom course to keep up with an ever-changing world of creative and technical options. I'll take you there live in our new 4-week interactive online session to help you create, manage and share your photos the way you always wanted them to be.

Ready to Turn Your Photos From Good to Great?
Our ALL NEW Interactive Full Participation Session of PHOTO EDITING WITH LIGHTROOM starts JANUARY 15, 2024 and runs 4 weeks. Register now to be sure you get in our first interactive session so you'll be able to start the NEW YEAR off right by getting your photographic life in order with Lightroom organizing, and learn to edit your photos to create the images you see in your mind's eye.
What you'll learn
We are pleased to announce a new, fully updated and interactive version of Nick Kelsh’s much beloved Editing in Lightroom course. Yes, as in our previous course, we’ll take on photo editing in Lightroom top to bottom through easy to digest (and easy to rewatch) short videos. The videos will be all new content reflecting the current version of Lightroom with all the most recent features.
When possible (which will be most of the time) the example and assigment photos will be photos submitted by the students. This way the pictures will be real world and real life. They will look like something you just might shoot. In fact, they could just be photos you actually shot.
During the entire four weeks we’ll concentrate on the the nuts and bolts of Lightroom and the artistic, creative side which the nut and bolts open up and is really why we’re all here in the first place.
First, we'll teach you the photo management part—importing, storing, naming, folders, collections, selects, tagging, metadata, etc.. So you'll understand how it all works and be able to easily search for, manage and share your photos.
The for the editing part, we'll start by learning how to assess your photos straight out of the camera, how to evaluate them to know what needs editing and why, in order to make them look the way they did in your minds eye when you shot them, or to enhance them once you see them, or to create a particular look or effect to add power or artistry.
And then of course we'll learn the actual tools and techniques of photo-editing, including exposure, contrast, curves, retouching, etc,
4 WEEKLY MODULES:
The Setup / Editing Basics
At first glance the Lightroom interface appears to be a little bit complicated. I'll show you tricks for simplifying it and then move right to the basics of editing which is after all where the fun is. We'll learn the best use of your monitor space, all important key commands, and talk about streamlined work flows
Importing and Organizing
Creating a system that allows you to quickly access your photographs and save them is key to your photographic happiness. How do you get photos into Lightroom? Where do you put them when you do? How do you name and tag them? How do you find them later? We teach you all of that.
Editing and Developing
This is where we talk about judgment and learning what to change and what not to change. It can be tricky. You don't want to go overboard, but you want to do everything you can. There are so many great tools in the latest version of LR, not the least of which is the fabulous ability to select subjects and backgrounds It's a total dealbreaker.
Sharing the Love
This is where it all happens. Learn to express yourself with your camera and then finally with your ability to polish the image and touch the people you care about. Sure, there's plenty of technical obstacles to overcome but they are minor compared to the payoff you will learn here. We teach sizing of images, methods for sharing, slide shows, and printing.

See what Nick's past students have to say:
"Nick, I enrolled in your original self-study course on editing photos in Lightroom. WONDERFULLY informative and a lot of good information. VERY well done. With your instructions I have managed to finally organize all of my photos. Consequently, having them organized and easy to access has inspired me to take more photos. I have been using your Photo Editing in Lightroom course for a couple of years now. You are a wonderful teacher and your explanations are thorough and well illustrated. I learn something new every time I watch one of the episodes, and can honestly say I wouldn't be able to manage Lightroom without the knowledge I received from your course. Your original Lightroom course was very instructive and still has tons of pertinent information, but Adobe has done a lot of updates since then. I look forward to your new Lightroom session—if your new updated version takes into account all of the Adobe updates, I'm in! Thank you for all your help Nick. You've got a gift for teaching. I’m definitely going to sign up for more of your courses."

“Nick, your approach to teaching is by far above and beyond what I expected. You are the type that cares about each person’s knowledge level and strive to reach out individually if needed. Your kind, quirky, gentle manner made it impossible to be afraid to jump in. I learned more than I could have imagined. I love using Lightroom & love your teaching style, I’m in!

PHOTO EDITING WITH LIGHTROOM is for all photographers who want to embrace a wonderful enriching editing and photo organizing experience.
This 4 week interactive course is a series of online videos and interactive resources to help anyone interested in making their photographs everything they were meant to be.
How The Course Works
In our new interactive course we’re adding a key component…students will participate fully in a private Facebook group with Nick and fellow classmates. The facebook group is set up as a learning group with lots of new interactive features, plus "Guides" to organize course content and assignments, and hashtog organization making it easy to find all posts on the same topic.
Each Monday begins a new module, with new topic lessons posted in the form of videos with written components, a discussion board, assignments and the facebook gallery to upload your assignment photos. Nick will post comments and provide valuable feedback on your assignment posts and you'll benefit from the input of your classmates as well. You’ll also get a quiz to test your grasp of the topics with a video review, including the answers, from Nick.
There will be two live meetings with Nick per week. On Mondays, he'll host a weekly webinar class demonstrating editing philosophies and techniques, and reviewing student assignments from the previous week. AND he'll also host casual weekly “office hours” zoom sessions later in the week to answer any questions or address any problems you might hit along the way. Don't worry, all live sessions will be recorded and available to watch any time, so you'll never miss a thing.
Don’t worry about “making class”; each video and all of the resources are designed to be self-paced within the framework of the 4 week syllabus. Ideally, most participants will want to work on the material during the week it’s posted, as that will provide the most beneficial interaction with Nick and classmates. However, if your schedule doesn’t allow that, you can always catch up at your own pace and you will have full lifetime access to the videos and course resources.
And if the live group sessions aren't enough, Nick is always willing to get on the phone with anyone who might feel like they’re floundering during the course. He has actually saved a few photographic lives by talking students in from the edge of the photographic cliff. Nobody leaves Nick's class until everybody is well on their way to moving up the photo editing food chain.
What's new and improved since our original Editing with Lightroom Course?
It's the interaction with real people, specifically instructor Nick Kelsh, but also fellow photography-loving classmates. There will be a fresh batch of videos using the most recent version of Lightroom and all of the new and amazing upgraded features. One of the best parts of an interactive course is that we'll be able to use student photos as examples to teach and reinforce the techniques so you'll have real life editing help with some of your own photos.
Want This Extra Interactive Experience With Me?
I hope so! We start JANUARY 15, 2024, and it's a great way to kick off your new photographic year!
A word from your host, Nick Kelsh
The big questions with photo editing have always been and will always be:
What should I do to this photograph that will enhance my original vision without distracting from it?
How can I remove annoying details without me and my photograph looking silly?
How can I direct my viewer's eyes without seeming manipulative. In other words, how can I stay true to myself and reality?
How can I make this image speak honestly and with heart using light as the medium?
.........................................................................
You can create better photos and I can help you do it. But photography can seem complicated. So it has to be fun AND heartfelt. That's where I come in.
I've had all kinds of experiences as a photographer but the most satisfying thing I've done is help people like you take pictures and then take those photographs to the next level in editing.
I know that Lightroom courses on the internet are widely varied in quality and approach, but my students tell me I make mine clear and inspiring. I certainly do my best to make it fun, which is actually easy for me because Lightroom is a photographic blast.
