Matt is amazing! I've been struggling to really learn all that Lightroom can do and his tutorials are so informative, clear, and to the point. Thank you!

OK - I really do need to make the leap to lightroom. I know it will save so much time, but I have been reluctant to learn the new program. Heard horror stories at WPPI a couple years ago about people not being able to find files, etc... Anyway, I bought the book about layers by Matt K. a couple years ago and it was written so well and so easy to follow and understand, that I figured I would watch the lightroom video because he did it. I just finished part 1 and I felt that it was easy to follow, he does't go too fast, assume you know things you don't or skip over things you need to know. I am looking forward to trying out what he went over and then watching part 2. I am thankful for Kelby Training, a place where I can go when it fits my schedule and I can go through the menu and find what I need to know.

For months I struggled to find a good learning forum to enable me to understand Lightroom 3. I have now found one - Matt is a great teacher and puts things over in such a clear fashion. I have just sampled one of the 24 hour test drive offers and I will definitely be signing up to the full Kelby suite. Absolutely fantastic! Keep up the great work! Great to see that Moose Peterson is also a tutor.
