So here’s my quick, basic explanation of Lightroom 5 and getting started. Audio will be better in future videos. Still waiting on a pop filter and mic stand to arrive. Please note and ignore, that I say “Image” a fair bit, and only realised afterwards lol.
Starting off my photography tutorials is a video aimed at those that have never used Lightroom, or have just acquired Lightroom and finding it a bit overwhelming. I go through importing, main processing/editing functions, full processing and exporting.
I used the Fujifim X-T1, XF 56mm f/1.2 R lens.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment. If you liked the video, don’t forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe. I will be following up with more photography tutorials soon.

Many thanks for this information
Excellent video. The best intro to Lightroom on You tube. Thanks.
A+ Lightroom Basic Tutorial. I brought a copy of LR 4 a few years ago and never touched it until recently, preferring to use only Elements.
Great video! I am going to start using Lightroom and this video helped a lot. Thanks, I subbed
Wow, amazed at all the possibilities..and as it was mentioned before, a bit overwhelmed. You definitely were very descriptive and I think I'll watch it again a couple of more times to let it all sink in. Thanks much!
I thought you were photo shopping it
Hi Dean,
Thanks for the video. Very clear explanations of everything. I use gimp 2.8 for post processing but can see that lightroom gives a lot more control over fine adjustments so I think I may bight the bullet and buy it, at least to use for color/light adjustments. Do you use a color calibration tool like spyder checkr as part of your workflow management or do you find that the presets in lightroom are good enough so you don't need to bother?
Thanks again!
Publishing to Flickr I get an error message
"An internal error has occurred."
What is the error: Help PLS.
I've just made the change to Light Room following years of using a combination of Elements and Nikon Capture NX2 and this was just the start I needed. Thanks.
Just started lightroom yesterday and this video is incredibly helpful. Thanks.
This is an excellent video for us beginners thank you so Dean .
Thanks buddy it is very very…helpful to our beginners…. 😉
The work on the eyes and lips can be done much more accurate i PhSh with layers and layer-masks. You do not tell what shortcuts you use to add or remove an effect in the face, how to get the quick-mask effect, or how to use the A and B- brush. You do also not tell how you switch between before and after to see the final result, what is the shortcut?
You are best teacher
Great work mate
Great tutorial….clear, not too fast and concise. Excellent!. I don't have Light room but I am thinking of getting it. I am thinking I can do most of what I need in Nikon Capute and Fuji FinePix thingy so don't need it right now. Do you do a tutorial for PS Elements….I do have that but really cant understand the layer stuff.
My Import Takes Years to come….Any Solutions Man?!
GREAT video
