If there was a simple way to edit your photos in Lightroom so quickly and so beautifully that your friends begged you for prints… would you be interested?
What if you knew you could edit hundreds of photos in minutes, not hours… would you find the task less daunting?
I’m Josh Dunlop, and here’s something few people know… You can edit your photos in Lightroom, 10x better than you can imagine now, just by following a simple process.
Pictures so striking and vibrant that others might accuse you of outsourcing your processing to a professional. You don’t need a PhD in computer science, and you don’t need expensive training.
And I’m going to prove it to you.
Take a look at these before-after images below…
It only took me two minutes to edit this photo in Lightroom. And I was able to copy those edits to dozens of other photos taken in the same location.
The transformation is stunning, and the process is very fast and easy… when you know what you’re doing.
I used the editing process that I developed 10 years ago. It allows me to reveal beautiful details hidden inside my RAW photos.
I’ve been sharing my unique method for editing since 2016, and I’m pleased to say it just got better…
This 7-hour video course breaks down Lightroom processing into 44 bite-sized videos.
Not only does it cover every Lightroom feature… but it also shows you how to use them together to professionally process your photos.
Since version 1 of this course was released in 2016, more than 16,000 students have used it to master Lightroom.
We keep the course up to date with new videos as Adobe releases new features. But after some big changes from Adobe recently, I knew it was time to refilm the entire course (again).
However… as a new dad to a baby boy, I didn’t have time to do it all by myself.
That’s why I reached out to one of the most respected and talented photographers I know, Zach Doehler.
Together we have produced the most thorough, and up-to-date Lightroom training you can find on the internet.
It shows you how to edit magazine-quality images without being a pro photographer and without burning hours away at a screen.
Zach is a Canadian landscape photographer with years of experience.
His style relies on revealing the hidden beauty of landscape photos from his RAW files with simple editing steps.
It’s no wonder he has 161,000+ followers on Instagram and a successful business selling prints online.
He’s developed the perfect workflow to edit hundreds of images in minutes, not hours… keeping his audience captivated and eager for more.
And now, he’s ready to share his secrets with you.
Regardless of whether you use the new Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic CC, Lightroom 6, 5, 4, or mobile…… ‘Effortless Editing with Lightroom 3.0’ covers it all.
In this course, we walk you through the photo editing process step-by-step so you become a master in editing.
You’ll soon discover:
“Effortless Editing with Lightroom 3.0” shows you how to find the hidden details in your photos and bring them to life.
Pictures like this…
One of my favorite tips was on how to bring out the blue skies in a photo that I didn’t even realize were there!
And one of the best parts is that every technique is taught with common language! Even though Effortless Editing with Lightroom gives you an advanced skill set, it shares (and demonstrates) every technique without a bunch of jargon.
Here, check it out for yourself:
Even if you struggled in school… or aren’t the greatest at grasping new skills… you’re going to be shocked by how easy it feels to absorb this information.
Picture this.
Before you even turn on your computer you already know the fastest and most effective way to process your images. You have your presets ready thanks to a nugget of advice, and all you need to do is click start.
You open Lightroom without a single worry about the hundreds of images that are waiting for you. Making the initial selection of your favourite images feels almost automatic now that you know a couple of little tricks.
You open the develop tab, and start moving sliders.
Within two minutes, you have your first finished photo, and a bunch of the adjustments can be shared across the rest of the album.
10 minutes later you’re making some final adjustments to the different colour sliders, clarity, and vignette, to make your photos truly striking.
When you’re done, you have a selection of images so beautiful they command respect from even the most seasoned photographers.
Images with so much “pop” and vibrancy they’re good enough to sell. Perhaps the most breathtaking… crystal clear… and exciting photographs you’ve ever taken.
You’re so excited you’re finally able to show off professionally processed photos, you share them across every social media platform you use.
We’ve created an editing process to speed up workflow, and transform images. And I’m now confident that…
Perhaps the best thing about learning how to use Lightroom like a pro is that you get to go back and add new life to hundreds of old photos. Finally, giving them the justice they deserve.
Customers love ‘Effortless Editing with Lightroom’, and here’s what a few of them have had to say about it:
I wish I had discovered the course earlier, it’s just what I needed to finally get started with Lightroom. Your presentation style makes one understand how everything works, and it’s easy to follow each step without getting confused. Plus the quality of production is top class to match.
I finally understand the basics of how Lightroom works. I really liked that the lessons are short and I can fit them into my schedule. My photos are now well organized, and just much more beautiful. The edits don’t look artificial, but rather bring out the natural beauty and best qualities of my pictures.
The course worked beautifully, and I learned a lot. Now my Lightroom-processed images look great! I liked the Lightroom workflow you advocated for all photos. It was simple and straight-forward and gave great results every time. I would say that you can’t do without this product. It explains a lot of post-processing issues, and is well covered.
The lessons were broken down into logical sequences and the videos were short enough to absorb information without getting overwhelmed. The course is well worth it for those new to Lightroom. I shied away from it at first because I thought it might be too complex for me, but your course remedied my concern.
As a fellow Lightroom teacher, I’m always interested in others’ tutorials. I was very impressed by your style of simply explaining without much florid language, and how you cut straight to the chase. Keep up the great work, I will be happy to recommend your tutorials.
Included with the Lightroom subscription are Lightroom Classic CC, Lightroom CC, and Lightroom Mobile.
Understanding how to navigate each one… and organizing your photos across all three can be quite complicated.
Find out which version fits you best in this module.
New: Edit your photos on-the-go from your phone.
Seamlessly organizing your photos is made easy with Lightroom… if you know what you’re doing.
When done properly, you can access your photos from any device…
…and speed up your editing when you know how to:
New: Copy your settings across images faster with new shortcuts.
Before you start fine-tuning your images with brushes… you always make adjustments to the entire photo first.
This is where most of your editing takes place.
New: Use color grading wheels instead of split toning to add more color to your images.
When you want to fine-tune a certain part of your image, you can use:
New: Seamlessly select parts of your image with Lightroom’s Select Subject tool.
This section shows you how to share your photos without damaging the image quality.
You will also master how to safely & securely manage 1000s of photos and collections… to avoid losing hours of hard work.
New: Export multiple batches of images with different settings in a single operation.
Lightroom presets are a great way to speed up your workflow. You can quickly apply adjustments to multiple photos with one click.
Plus, we will show you how to create your own presets to give your photos a unique look.
New: Import presets directly into Lightroom with a ZIP file.
This module will show you how to edit your photos on-the-go… and make sure they’re synced on all of your devices.
This includes Lightroom’s mobile app… and editing and sharing using its creative cloud storage.
So you can easily edit your photos anytime from anywhere.
New: Editing walkthrough video using Lightroom mobile.
If you’ve ever forgotten shortcuts, hit keys that did nothing (or something unexpected)… this is going to help.
I sat down with my designer a few days ago and we came up with a printable cheat sheet for you to use.
It covers photo management, comparison, rating, filtering, developing, exporting and more.
…Everything you need to get started with Lightroom processing.
Processing photos is fun and easy, once you know how to do it. But like all forms of editing, there’s a right way and a wrong way (and in this case, an easy way) to go about it.
In this bonus, we walk you through nine different types of image processing: Landscapes, Portraits, Black & White, Twilight, Nature, Sunset, Milky Way, Food, and Product Photography.
For each walkthrough, we also included the RAW image file… so you can follow along with the edits in real time.
Have you ever wanted to see exactly how the pros process photos in Photoshop?
We do 98% of our processing in Lightroom, but occasionally we make a couple of final tweaks in Photoshop, and we’re going to show you exactly how we do it.
For this bonus, Zach has selected two photos: a self-portrait, and a stunning landscape shot.
He’ll show you how to make changes to the shape, size, and width of your face… as well as how to add an Orton effect to your landscapes, and more…
You’re also getting Lightroom presets to make your photography more powerful. These are pro-level presets, designed to make the most of your raw files.
They’re easy to use, and add more “pop” to your imagery.
Beyond the presets themselves, you’ll get a feel for why professionals use presets. Seeing how we created ours will better prepare you to create your own.
I stand behind every product we offer.
So I’m putting my money where my mouth is with these two guarantees:
Guarantee #1: If you don’t think “Effortless Editing with Lightroom” is the best $ you’ve spent on your lightroom skills… send me an email. I’ll provide you with a full refund.
Guarantee #2: If you DO what’s recommended, and your results aren’t great, I’ll refund double your money. All I ask is that you give it an honest effort. How’s that for fair?
And these guarantees are good for 90 days after purchase!
As Adobe regularly updates its software, we’ll continually add new videos to the course… as we’ve done for the past 7 years.
When we first filmed the course, Lightroom only had a desktop version. But now you can also edit your photos from tablets and mobile phones too.
And back in 2019, you could still use Split Toning to enhance certain colors in your image… but now it’s called Color Grading… and looks completely different.
We know how difficult it can be to keep up with the constant changes… that’s why we’ve been updating our course material too.
Since its first release, we’ve added 29 new videos… and all our Lightroom students at the time got free access to the new content.
Now the course has been completely refilmed, and the same treatment goes to our current students.
If you buy today, you don’t have to worry about Lightroom updates anymore.
We’ll make sure to keep ahead of the curve and provide you with automatic updates… free of charge.
Shooting in raw is like shooting on film. You have to process the photos before you publish them.
And in this modern era, we have so much freedom to process our raw files, that it can be hard to know where to stop.
You can have great success as a photographer by using selective black and white, and unnatural contrast, but that’s not what this course is about.
We will provide you with the tools you need to make your pictures look stunning, but we always follow one simple rule:
If National Geographic would turn down the photo for over-editing, we’ve gone too far. After all, they are the gold standard for magazine-quality images.
If I could give you a proven method for editing the most powerful photos of your life, how much would that be worth?
Processing great pictures is an essential skill for all photographers. This simple skill will transform your portfolio and make your raw photos shine.
The thing is, Lightroom processing is such a powerful area of expertise, that training can be pricey. Private workshops of $1,000.00 aren’t uncommon. That’s the reason so few master it.
What’s fantastic is this course covers everything you would learn in closed-door workshops (ones I attended)… And more. We’ve expanded the content while making it easier to grasp and use.

As you can tell, this is a staggeringly low price. This course together should retail for $1,000.00+, and you’re getting it all for only 10% of that.
But like I said, there is a catch.
You see, in exchange for this discounted rate, I’d like to ask a small favour. When you get your copy, can you email me your feedback on it?
This will require no effort on your part – you’ll receive an email a couple of weeks after you get your copy, and you can reply directly. A single sentence would be helpful.
And that’s it. Pretty easy “catch”, right?
I just want to get as much feedback as possible on our new and improved version of Effortless Editing with Lightroom.
For that reason, I only plan to offer this deal to the next 500 customers. I expect about 30% to respond to our email, and feedback from 150 people is more than enough to get all the customer feedback I need.
Your portfolio will have some of the most vivid and vibrant pictures you’ve ever taken.
Your loved ones will be amazed by how much you’ve improved. Your confidence will have grown immensely, and you’ll realise just how easily the skills you gained through Lightroom processing translate to photography in general.
In short: You’ll be a better, more exciting, and more excited photographer.
But only when you choose to act.
You see, some might choose to do nothing. They won’t “do nothing” on purpose, it’s usually procrastination. They bookmark a page like this and think they’ll come back to it later.
Three months pass and they find themselves in the same exact position they were before. Still thwarted by software that feels too complicated. Taking pictures that are not up to their full potential. Feeling the creative urge but unable to turn what they “see” into real pictures like this:
I wouldn’t be where I am today, processing my photos to a professional standard while saving time and having fun, if I hadn’t chosen to act.
You have a chance to do things differently. Effortless Editing with Lightroom is your path to becoming a much better, more fulfilled photographer. But it’s up to you to take the first step.
The choice is yours.

If you have a DSLR, Mirrorless, or Bridge camera, then this course was designed for you! We cover settings that you will find in your camera.
We recommend Adobe Lightroom Classic CC because it has all of the newest (and some of the greatest) features that the software has to offer, such as dehaze, and boundary warp for panoramas. You can still use Adobe Lightroom 6, which is a one-time payment, but they’re not adding any new features to it.
