Scott's classes are really amazing and inspiring! I struggled using Photoshop and Lightroom with my images because I was very lost when I first started and stopped when I couldn't get things right. But, after Scott's courses they aren't that scary anymore. Hope to see more videos from Scott. Thanks!

This was honestly one of the best training sessions I have ever taken, including some of the live seminars! I love how Scott took the time to show the various techniques even if it might have seemed 'long' or too slow. Really enjoyed the HDR/fake HDR/preset section. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I would like to see a class dedicated to those techniques; I hadn't thought to look for one, but now I will look through the courses to see if you've already done one. If not, just a thought, because it would be rewarding to know how to achieve that super-crisp, saturated look that does not look "HDR'ed". And how to make our own presets (though I have to admit that having tried the HDR in PS-CS6, the Scott5 was the only one I liked--even before I watched this video!) Thanks again for a super class!

Scott, I really enjoyed the Paris series you put together. Following your thought process on photos you took, learning about your camera settings and seeing Paris was great fun. The one big surprise was the post processing series. I had viewed Matt's series on Lightroom 4 a few weeks ago. Watching you use Lr4 and PS to work with your photos brought those programs alive and turned out to be great reinforcement of Matt's series. Thanks for a great series - your enthusiasm is catching!

This two part course was without a doubt one of the very best of all. I love Scott's friendly, laid back, self deprecating style.

Thanks, Scott. I travel most of the year, and this course has covered every aspect of bringing home the experience with me. I can't even put into words how much I have learned in terms of preparing, conceptualizing and finishing with a bang. Cheers!

What a great learning session. Scott is an absolute joy to learn from. One suggestion: Don't forget the little things. I know things but not all. This is a great way for me to learn and LR is one area I am lacking in. THANKS!!!!

Terrific, I very much enjoyed going through the whole process from what to bring to how to shoot to the editing. I will use this as my primer for reviewing anytime I travel. Well Done. Marq Linden

Excellent! I have been using LR3 about an year, and now LR4 for a month (shooting RAW of course). This course really helped me a lot how to use Lightroom4! I really like the relaxed feeling here, don't be afraid of trying and really pushing the sliders (I have been far too mild and scary at it!). Kelby is so easy going and natural, and he really knows what he is doing and talking about. And I enjoyed very much the lightness of it all: it is not so serious stuff (and not difficult either)! It is FUN! :) I really enjoy looking videos, my books often stay in the shelf when I am going to read them a bit "later" and "soon". This is such an easy and fun way to learn!! Thanks so much.

Dear Scott It's my honor to be one your thousands of learners through your brilliant books, your magnificent website and wonderful online courses. Actually most of what I have learned in photography and all of its relatives! are because of you and your respectful colleagues. I like many of your courses but this one was a unique one by its comprehensive coverage of the subject, practicality, step by step education, and as always your simple and friendly kind of speaking. I hope you continue your way because you have had an important imprint in the world of photography (an achieved Darma). Congratulations Regards Hamid Payombarnia

It's one of the best tutorials. Very instructive and with a lot of advices. Scott have to take a lot of other trips around the world with the camerateam. Scott's voice is very easy to hear and understand for me as a danish customer. Some other instructors could learn from this.

Fantastic Scott! I went to Paris a year ago and hired a tutor for 4 days and $750 and didn't learn anything like you've just taught me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so willingly.

This was probably the best course I've taken. Has a lot of good information for those traveling and those who are just out for a day in their local area. Well Done.

Outstanding! This is a great crash course in using Lightroom and Photoshop to quickly enhance photos. The workflow is illustrated, and explanations are clear. Well done.

I went to Paris this past April, so I of course thought I was an expert on shooting in Paris. All I can say now is, I wish this video had been available then! This course on Lightroom is especially great, because I can now go through my Paris images and apply what I've learned. Even if you watch this video for Lightroom alone, regardless of travel photography, it is very helpful. In general Scott's style is great. It appears as though he sincerely wants to help you learn! All-in-all this post production tutorial AND the accompanying travel tutorial are both first rate, viewed together or separately.

Love the series! One point, I believe DxO also applied noise reduction to the raw file. In the Nighttime Photos section Scott asserted Photoshop and Lightroom were the only programs that did this.

1 of the best! like it a lot. Thanks!

This course is fantastic! Scott Kelby's teaching style makes anything worth watching. The chances of me traveling anytime in the near future are zero, so the subject wasn't high priority for me. However, I watched it because Scott Kelby taught the class. I learned so much and am now very interested. It doesn't just include things about travel. There are great general post processing tips for any photoshop learner. I can't recommend this course enough.

Excellent course with some really cool tips. I can't wait to put all of this into practice the next time I travel....

I only watched the course for fun after watching the Shooting Travel course because I don't own Lightroom (ducks and hides) - now I really, really want to buy Lightroom... =:-) Very well done course!

This was an awesome course! I've been shooting for about 5 years now and absolutely love watching your tutorials because I always walk away with something new to try and enough inspiration to fill a semi trailer! Thanks Scott and all at Kelby Media. Keep up the great work!

This is probably the best course i have watched on this website (don´t get me wrong, almost every course here is amazing).... Congratulations on that trip Scott, I have been fortunate to travel to Paris twice (and some other beautiful cities), i have learned a lot with all the tips, specially with Lightroom 4 and the book tool. Too bad here in my country (Chile) we do not have the print service....yet. Again.... congratulations for such an amazing site Greetings from Chile Pablo

Once again a great tutorial with some fabulous new techniques. Creating a book is such a nice idea & LR makes it straight forward & easy. Thanks a lot Scott.

Jul 26 2012

Scott, I absolutely loved. You're such a good teacher and I learned cool new features. I mostly work in Lightroom 4 (which is outstanding) and you taught me stuff I will use A LOT. Now I need to go to Paris!!! But Paris aside, your course is inspiring as well as informative. Thank you so much Scott. P.S. Your French pronunciation is very cute (I am French Canadian). And yes, you spelled "Versailles" just right.

For an enthusiastic amateur like me, this is a great lessons to bring home a great photos from our travel... just can't wait to have another travel in beautiful places and applied what have been learned here...
