The editors of the new CreativePro Magazine asked me if I wanted to write about getting started in Lightroom, and of course I said yes. The new issue is out now with my piece as the cover story, and boy is it a doozy! If you’ve decided you want to switch to a professional photo editor, this article is for you. I cover the entire workflow, from editing to organizing to editing to sharing. Just as important, I lay out the differences between the various Lightroom apps, because “Lightroom” isn’t just one thing anymore.
[Update 12/8/2021: The article is now online at CreativePro.com: Take Your Shot in Lightroom.]


CreativePro Magazine is the new magazine for professional creators; it was formerly InDesign Magazine, but since we typically juggle several apps when making content, the expanded focus is a welcome change. To get $10 off a yearly membership, use the code FRIEND when you sign up at CreativePro.com/become-a-member. Normally it’s just $6 a month or $59 a year. And remember that my article is just one of many from the likes of Conrad Chavez and Trish Witkowski.
