I remember when I started shooting RAW and discovered Lightroom back in 2011. I was thrilled and overwhelmed by all the possibilities that were suddenly before me. And even though I wasn’t all that new at photography, it sure felt like it since this was a whole new world. If you can relate, Nigel Danson has a video for you.

And trust me, they work, and they’ll help you raise your editing to a whole new level.
