Adobe Lightroom 5: Harness the Develop Module for Creative Impact

[@CaoNguyenLamVien70]

This presentation is a few years old but still very up-to-date and useful. Robert's presentations and teachings are always no-nonsense. You can learn a lot from the creative perspective. Thank you Robert and B&H for making this available and for your generosity. Wishing you all the best!

Not only was this informative and full of tips, it was the best edited video I have seen for B&H Event Space thus far. This was the only video where I didn't say to myself, "I wish I could see what he was doing on the computer as he talks about the options he is choosing." Well done!

This is my 3rd time through this Band H workshop and I am getting more and more out of it. After 3 years of photography this man has cleared up Lightroom 5 for me as I have struggled with it for some time. Thank you Robert! and Band H

Another excellent tutorial Robert; I've been using Lightroom for 18 months and I've picked up lots of tips from watching this video. Thanks once again.

Robert Rodriquez is a gifted teacher.

[@clearlyed]

great to see such a large company producing free tip based training. great.

[@jonathanbrady2013]

FANTASTIC video! I learned an INCREDIBLE amount from it. I couldn't count the number of times I said "WOW" and/or paused the video and immediately jumped into LR to try one of the techniques. Thank you so much!

[@feramaheen]

This is how stuff should be explained...Bravo! Very well done.

[@NIK516]

Best workflow tutorial I've ever seen thank you for upload

[@fungussa]

This video was all I needed to see, to be persuaded that Lightroom is the way to go!

[@valarezoo]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks B&H and Robert Rodriguez.

[@mshavrot_math]

Excellent tutorial! Thought I had a pretty good handle on Lightroom 5 but there always seems something new to learn and Robert is the guy to show you! Just adjusted a picture following along with his techniques and it looks awesome! Thanks so much!

[@GaryMaddockGreene]

Thanks Robert for sharing. Great workflow tutorial. Some great techniques.

[@howardberliner9073]

Great instructor, easy to follow, helpful and informative

[@barlow2976]

Excellent tutorial, well presented and now on my favourites list. B & Q lectures are a fantastic resource, and I wish we had the equivalent of their New York store here in London.

[@williamphilcox2781]

Great video. Very informative. Thanks B&H

[@roundballrolls2762]

Great tutorial. Loved it. Thanks a lot Robert.

[@bryeap]

PetaPixel brought me here! Thanks for this awesome tutorial, I learned something new. :)

[@bryanmanio_]

Some great tips in here for a new photographer.

[@michellenolan6292]

I like getting some shortcuts for the keyboard. The info was great.

[@garysmith5838]

Excellent Lightroom tutorial

[@johnc6919]

I thought this video was going to be too long and that I would probably lose interest. In fact I didn't want it to end, excellent tutorial, thank you.

[@jimjulian]

Very nicely done. Thank you!

[@robbeard6929]

Love the picture @ 7:18. The horizon is not even horizontal....

[@gskowal]

dropping points using the picker is a great tip I didn't think of before... 59th min

[@chrisj5110]

When I try and use the points for the tonal curve they don't stay showing on the curve as it did in your video (I think you have 5 points showing). Is there a setting I need to adjust to have this happen? I tried a google search but couldn't turn up anything helpful. Thanks

[@BandH]

On the Point Curve tool, you have 2 options to set points: on the point curve or with the target adjustment tool. On the target adjustment tool, click on the area in the image that you do not want to adjust. This will show up on the point curve and lock this area down and not be affected. Once you have established a couple of these points on the point curve, you can make a point between the 2 on the point curve, and by clicking and dragging on this point, you can make tonal adjustments by moving it up or down to increase or decrease the midtowns between these 2 points.

I am unable to see the thumbnail image of Raw file in my PC explorer? So i am unable to check it which image is that unless i open LR and see them through LR.Is there any other way without opening LR?

[@BandH]

+Ajit Sunder If your computer does not natively support the RAW files of your camera you would have to open them in some kind of program, be it Lightroom or another. Often cameras will come with basic software, or the software is provided by the manufacturer online that will allow you to view RAW files. Aside from this you could update the operating system to a more recent version, as the current versions generally allow you to view RAW files. I would suggest sending us an email to [e-mail] and let us know the camera you are working with and current operating system you are using. We’d be happy to see if any alternative measures can be taken. *Andrea

[@ajitsunder1]

+B and H Thanks Mr Andrea

[@BillyNewmanphoto]

Lightroom 5 is really close to a complete photo editing solution.

[@tydad1]

Bravo Great tutorial

[@StevenScholten]

Super tutorial thanks!!

[@comeontars]

Great tips!

[@SteveAmaon]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@malikbinbek582]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@pkbose2000]

nice stuff but audio quality is bad. Please re-release this video with better audio if possible.

[@BandH]

Unfortunately, we had a mic issue on a few of these videos which has since been resolved, but unfortunately it's not possible to improve the existing videos beyond what we've done. Thanks for understanding.

[@aprofromuk]

সুন্দর প্রদর্শনী :)

[@MartinFritter]

Highly recommended although not introductory level. LR is intuitive enough to be useful right away. But this tutorial opened my eyes to many features not discoverable by experimentation. Mac-centric however. So use the alt key where he refers to whatever Apple calls their control key. I would stop the tutorial and try duplicating what he did on my copy of LR.

[@mariathomas1819]

my knowledge about lightroom just quadrupled!

[@AskTheSilentWriter]

Is it me or does he really look like Barrack Obama? LOL. Great Lecture by Robert! Kudos!

[@Hassi1972]

Great video but it is kind of funny when he uses the wrong before and after switch to show how he sharpend and reduced noise in the image:) Around 0'42.

[@BryonLape]

Can't too far into this video. Sound is very unbalanced.

[@chuckradford9424]

I watched this video in 5 minutes. Move the slider to the left move the slider to the right. Waste of time.
