Το Lightroom ωστόσο είναι άγνωστο περιβάλλον για μένα, κάτι που θα επιχειρήσω να αλλάξω, αφού αποτελέσματα των φωτογραφιών που έχουν δεχτεί επεξεργασία με αυτό το πρόγραμμα με έχουν ενθουσιάσει. Το μόνο που έχω κάνει μέχρι τώρα είναι να το κατεβάσω στον υπολογιστή μου, αλλά μέχρι εκεί. Στις πρώτες μου προσπάθειες να του πάρω τον αέρα μου φαίνεται πιο πολύπλοκο από το Photoshop και μάλλον χρειάζομαι μαθήματα για να το καταλάβω.
Έτσι, συγκέντρωσα κάποια tutorals, tips και videos (ηλεκτρονικές οδηγίες) που βρήκα σκόρπια στο διαδίκτυο και τα ανεβάζω να τα έχω όλα εδώ συγκεντρωμένα, ώστε να μπορώ να ανατρέχω στο δικό μου blog κάθε φορά που θα βρίσκω τον χρόνο να ασχοληθώ, αλλά και για όποιον ενδιαφέρεται να μάθει περισσότερα για τις δυνατότητες αυτού του προγράμματος.
