User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Very good resource for Lightroom 2 users
I’m a subscriber to Lynda.com and do not own the DVD. That said I have watched most of the videos on this DVD online and they are very well done. I can’t see how anyone would be disappointed. I wanted to post an outline of what the videos covered so those considering purchasing the DVD set could make a better decision.
