ABOUT BEN’S CLASS:

Relying solely on file names, folders and your memory is a formula for frustration. Learn to take full advantage of Lightroom Classic’s organization features so that finding a memorable image is just as fast and easy as performing a Google search. You’ll see how to transform seemingly simple features such as color labels into powerful organizational tools that will change the way you think about Lightroom. Then combine labels with keywords, smart collections and filtering and you’ll be amazed at how much more organized your photo archives can become. Ben will show you the standardized systems, tips & tricks and troubleshooting ideas he has developed by working with over 250,000 images over just shy of a decade and a half of working with Lightroom Classic.
