Interview with Ric Kasnoff,
Presenter for Total Training for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom: Essentials

How would you describe the Photoshop Lightroom learning curve for those coming from Photoshop or Elements?
The beauty of Lightroom is it's simple, direct, very logical interface... you can get right in and start using it as soon as you install it... Being an Adobe product, the file, naming conventions and keyboard shortcuts should be familiar to anyone who has played with any of their products.

But like any Adobe product there's always way more lurking under the hood just waiting to be discovered... depending on how you approach discovering these features it could take awhile to uncover all that Lightroom has to offer using the poke and play method or you could experience a quick series of "ah ha" moments by spending some time getting a good basic foundation through the video.

What are your favorite features in Photoshop Lightroom?
I guess my favorite part of the Lightroom workflow is the automator action that I integrated to upload my selects directly into unique folders on my Digital Railroad archive. When I chose that "after export" action I know I'm done and my images are on their way up to the DRR Marketplace and available for sale/licensing.
