Rushed my way through all the videos on LR, now it’s time to go over them again…but in a more relaxed way. I really enjoyed them. I thought I had a decent knowledge of LR but you have given me a new insight. Well worth the money.

Jim Kirby

I have just finished Peter’s online workshop. It was brilliant and I learned loads & loads. I have even got my head around the ‘range mask’ thing. Now I understand it. If you use Lightroom he shows you what all the buttons etc do. I even might try the manual blending in Photoshop !! It was the best money for photographic training I have spent in years. Now I hope I put into practice what I’ve learned. The great thing is I can go back to it anytime I need too. Thanks again Peter.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Should I get the Photoshop or Lightroom online course?

    The Simple Tools Powerful Outcomes course is available for Lightroom and Photoshop Camera RAW users. While the interface is different between Camera RAW or Lightroom they have essentially the same engine when it comes to the actual processing of the images. Therefore we suggest you enroll in the course based on your experience. If you already use Lightroom go with Lightroom. If you are comfortable with Photoshop Camera RAW go with this. If you are a total beginner we suggest going with Lightroom. While Lightroom and Camera RAW have the same engine for editing Lightroom has additional functionality around photo organisation for example that might be of use when starting out.
