Getting Started with Adobe Lightroom CC Takes Some Forethought

Thank you for listening to episode 44 of The Photo Flunky Show. In this episode, Lee and I talk about our very different styles of using Adobe Lightroom CC.

You may find out that much of what you've learned becomes irrelevant if you don't need the benefits of the systems and techniques that we're taught.

A Tale of Two Lightroom Users

When I first saw how she used Lightroom, it was almost blasphemous to me. Her style goes completely against the grain of every bit of Lightroom training I've ever seen.

Yet, it really works for her.

When I thought about it, Lee's style makes a lot of sense. It saves her time by eliminating steps that she doesn't need. It saves her money because she doesn't have to buy a bigger computer or more storage for her photos.

On the other hand, I'm meticulous about my Lightroom CC organization. While I don't follow every convention I was taught, I can find what I need rather easily.

I've also invested a lot of time and money to make my system work.

The difference is because of our purpose. Lee shoots for family memories. I have some of that, but I also shoot for business purposes. Listen to this episode to see which style of getting started with Adobe Lightroom CC is right for you.
