A Few Student Testimonials…

“This course is awesome, I learned tons of new tricks. Every single tool inside Lightroom is perfectly explained. I definitely recommend this course.”

~ Cristobal Ascencio

“I am new to Adobe and was interested in learning how to edit my pictures. I went through the LR classic portion (not interested in the cloud version at present) of the class and have learned a great deal. Since the course is so well laid out, it will be easy, as I practice editing, to refer back to any area I need to revisit.

Mr. Parker’s shares, through his teaching style, both his in-depth knowledge of the program and his practical experience with it, which will save you years of trial and errors.”

~ Alina Larin
