Lightroom for beginners

I found This video about Lightroom for beginners. I thought that this was a very helpful video because the authour detailed some very useful tricks that I used while editing my own photos. 

The biggest thing that the author stresses in this video is to shoot and edit in RAW images to get the best results. Before now I never even knew raw photography was a thing. 

The most helpful thing I gained from this video is that I shouldn’t rely on the contrast slider too much. It’s the first slider I always go to crank up and a careful balance with contrast along with the shadows and highlights will do more for my photos than contrast alone.
