First of all, I NEVER take the time to offer praise like this…because I am very busy as a working wedding shooter, etc. But I must tell you how much the Lightroom DVD has helped me, and what a terrific and simple style of explanation Colin has. His voice is soothing and his terminology simple / not at ALL intimidating by being too technical or jargony. I did a nice “attaboy” on my Facebook page a while back. Way to go! I have watched this DVD over and over to flesh-out my understanding of all the nuances and advantages of LR.
