Is this course right for you?
Whatever stage you're at with editing, there's a row here for you
| This sounds like me… | How the course helps |
|---|---|
| I've never used Lightroom or any editing software | A perfect starting point — we begin from scratch, no experience needed. |
| I've dabbled with Lightroom but struggle with the tools and the library side | We build both properly — organising and cataloguing, plus the develop tools, step by step. |
| I'm now shooting in RAW and need to edit it properly | RAW is where editing matters most — you'll learn a proper, repeatable workflow for it. |
| I want a consistent style and look across my photos | We cover how to develop and apply a repeatable editing style across your images. |
| I'm doing some paid work and need to batch-process images | You'll learn efficient batch editing and export to handle client volume. |

Why a structured class beats teaching yourself
Lightroom is huge, and it's easy to lose months going round in circles with random tutorials. In a small class you get:
- A logical order to learn it in — import, organise, develop, export — not scattered videos
- Someone watching your screen to fix the exact thing you're stuck on
- A repeatable workflow you can actually stick to afterwards
- Honest feedback on your own edits, not generic examples
Your three weeks, step by step
Organise & import
Catalogues, importing, collections, keywords and star ratings — get on top of your photo library for good.
Global adjustments
The histogram, exposure, white balance, contrast, tone curves and sharpening — the core develop tools.
Local adjustments
Graduated and radial filters, adjustment brushes, spot removal — and building a consistent style.
What's included for £150
- All tuition across three two-hour evening sessions (maximum three people)
- Class and course notes for each module
- Practical assignments to work on in your own time
- Constructive image review and feedback throughout the course
What to bring
You'll need to bring your own laptop with Adobe Lightroom Classic installed and an active subscription. Please install it and sign in before the first session so we can get straight into editing. No prior editing experience is needed — we start from the basics.

"Great Lightroom beginners course — brilliant course covering quite a lot but giving enough practical exercises to take away. Excellent content and Alan is a very knowledgeable trainer."
"Really enjoyed the Lightroom course — an excellent grounding of all the 'tools in the box' and a great workflow process to get the best out of your pictures."
"I had thousands of missing photographs in the Lightroom Classic catalog. This is fixed now. An excellent experience entirely — would recommend Alan to a friend."
Your place is risk-free
If the first session doesn't meet your expectations or suit the way you like to learn, Alan will refund your course fee, less a small administrative charge. No one has ever needed to use it — but it's there so you can book with confidence.

Lightroom photo editing course — FAQs
What do I need to bring, and what software do I need?
Bring your own laptop with Adobe Lightroom Classic installed and an active subscription. Please install it and sign in before the first session so we can get straight into editing. You don't need any other software.
I've never edited before — will I keep up?
Yes. The course assumes no prior editing experience and starts from the very beginning — importing and organising — before moving on to adjustments. With only three people per class, there's plenty of time for individual help.
Do I need to shoot in RAW?
No — the course works whether you shoot RAW or JPG. That said, editing is where RAW files really come into their own, so you'll learn how to get the most from RAW if and when you start using it.
Lightroom Classic or the cloud version — which do I need?
This course uses Adobe Lightroom Classic (the desktop catalogue-based version), so please make sure that's the one installed. If you're unsure which you have or which plan to choose, get in touch before booking and Alan will point you the right way.
Why only three people per class?
Editing software is more technical to teach, and everyone needs space for an open laptop and hands-on help when they hit a problem. Capping the class at three (smaller than the beginners camera course) means Alan can support each person individually on their own machine.
Is there parking at the venue?
Yes — there's space for two to three cars on the premises, plus free roadside parking on the cul-de-sac.
What if I miss one of the three weeks?
The course runs as a fixed three-week block, so a missed session can't be repeated within it. You'll still receive the full course material for that week, and if you'd like to cover it properly you can book a one-to-one private lesson (1–2 hours) with Alan to go through what you missed.
Is the venue accessible?
The classroom is on the ground floor with step-free access. Please note the toilet is on the first floor, up a flight of stairs. If you have any specific access needs, get in touch before booking and Alan will do his best to help.
Can under-18s attend?
Yes — younger photographers are welcome, but anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a paying adult on the course.
What can I do after the course?
Many students go on to monthly mentoring for ongoing feedback, or 1-2-1 lessons to focus on their own work. If you started here, the beginners camera course pairs perfectly to strengthen your shooting too.
Ready to take control of your editing?
Three evenings, a small group of just three, and a proper Lightroom workflow from import right through to export. Choose a start date above — or if the fixed evenings don't fit, take the same content one-to-one in Coventry, or online over Zoom with screen-sharing. Either way, you'll come away able to edit your photos with confidence and a consistent style.
