Being a total of quite a few hours, but broken down into their separate components will let those wanting to become much more proficient in the use of Lightroom to do so. But it will take a bit of commitment on your part to settle in, in front of the computer and watch these. The benefits to your processing will however be enormous. So if you are committed to photography and using Lightroom, they are worth the time and effort to work your way through.

Enjoy!

Some of the info will be out of date now with release updates for LR, but most things in the tutorials will still be worth watching and relevant to editing in general.
