    You don't know how much this is appreciated as someone very eager to get into photo editing with no prior knowledge. Watching alongside with a notebook has helped me capture so much good (and free!) advice in under an hour. You sir are a saint. Easiest like and subscribe of my life. Have a good one!

    Kindly talk about presets like how to save your own settings on presets and after editing one photo instead of editing them one by one let's say they are like 10 of them photos how one should copy and paste the remaining 9 photos.

    Thanks so much Zac! Just loaded LRC a few days ago as was able to follow along with you with multiple pauses in the video. One question for you. When exporting, do you ever use the Output Sharpening? My issue with other editing softwares, used in the past, was that Facebook would degrade the photo when uploading it. That has always been a frustrating point with me. Thanks again!

Now I have a 15 one, before an 11, before that.. I forgot! But I have had tons of pictures since 2010. What advice could you give me to chose which photo I can print for my exhibit ? Thank you!

    When I right click on the photo, only the "Remove from Collection" option appears. When you click on the "Photo" section in the menu above, the options "Remove from Collection", "Remove Selected Photo From Collection", "Remove Photo From Catalog" and "Delete Rejected Photos" appear. I cannot delete photos from Disk.

    there is nothing about actually getting files from the HDD into LR - why can't he start with a brand new catalog, and show how to search the drive and find the images? The video shows photos already appearing in LR. . how did that happen. . . .this is not appear to be a beginners video. . .
