What's the difference between Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic?
■ Lightroom is the new cloud-based photo service that works across desktop, mobile, and web. Lightroom Classic is the desktop-focused digital photography product. While CC ( now just called Lightroom) is the Lightroom for photographers that want to edit anywhere with an intuitive interface. Its suitable for web cloud based usage and for mobiles as well.

■ Classic is the best option for photographers that need the most tools and access to Photoshop. Adobe says that they will continue developing both applications. When it comes to editing images, both Classic and CC are equally good: Classic offers more advanced workflow options, but CC is slicker, and you can edit video. Of course, CC is designed for a different audience to those of us who've been using Lightroom for years.

■ This Lightroom Classic course is tailored for those wanting more control in the editing process and who need much greater control in the export modules.

Do you supply computers with Lightroom Classic on them? Do we bring our own laptop?
■ You definitely need to bring your own laptop.

■ Lightroom Classic is only suitable for desktop & laptops. Not for mobile and web based usage.

■ If you do not have Lightroom Classic you can download a trial version here. https://www.adobe.com/au/

Are the applications installed on my computer or are they cloud based?
■ Lightroom Classic is installed locally on your computer. Lightroom is a cloud-based service with three device-based apps: desktop, mobile and web. You don't need an ongoing Internet connection to Lightroom Classic. You only need to log into Lightroom once every 99 days to validate your membership.

---

Can I use the software on one more computer ?
■ Yes, you can install and run Lightroom apps or Photoshop on two computers, such a home and work computer (Mac, PC or one of each)

---

What happens to my photos if I exceed my allotment of cloud storage in Lightroom ?
■ If you run out of storage, your new photos will be saved only on the devices they came from. They’ll no longer be backed up to the cloud or synced across your devices and they won’t be automatically tagged for easy keyword search within Lightroom. The photos you have already backed up to the cloud will still be accessible on all your devices.

---

Is a 4 hour course long enough to learn all the Lightroom Classic features ?
■ We have structured the course to be an introduction to this powerful and virtually essential image editing program and to de-mystify Lightroom Classic to the uninitiated user. You will learn the basics, how it all works and from there you can self teach yourself through the plethora of self help Youtube tutorials. In short - it gets you going and on the right path.

I was Andrew's wedding assistant for quite a few years and he was always generous with his time and expertise. So thank you! It seems a lifetime ago we shot that wedding at Gunners Barracks in this nasty Covid 19 era.

The course was great. Have done a few shoots since the course with some good results ( I Think. LOL). I’m ready to hit the ground running now. Thanks so much for all your help. The course was well worth it that’s for sure.

I want to thank you very much for the course a last Saturday. It was very easy to learn through this sort of experience. The models were gorgeous! I will be confident enough to do a small wedding and the course manual is incredibly detailed. Thanks.

Andrew photographed our wedding in the English Lake District last August and did a brilliant job! He shot from 10am to 2am in the morning and the thousands of imaging are fantastic. Now I have my own photography business i know what pressure is like on these long shoots

Hi Andrew... Thanks for a fantastic day today. I'm keen to do the SLR 2 and night photography, please let me know dates. Thanks again!

Great to meet you. Christie and I love your work. We think that the 4 attached, at this phase of our project would fit well and we would be keen to see if any of these would be able to be blown up to a large wall art format.

This has to be one of the best value and most comprehensive beginners photography courses. A huge amount of content, outside shooting with 10 workshops, 2 night sessions and an additional 4 hour workshop of our choice. I went from zero to hero in my understanding the fundamentals of photography. Keep up the good work!
