Before using Lightroom, it can be beneficial to have a basic understanding of photo and video editing fundamentals and graphic design. Photography, basic image editing and retouching (such as cropping, rotating, and adjusting tone), and basic video editing skills are also helpful to have. However, you don’t need all these skills if you’re eager to learn Lightroom. More than anything, creativity is a must-have for learning the program, as it will allow you to get the most out of Lightroom's photo and video editing features. To best store and manage photos and videos in Lightroom, it’s helpful to know about file organization. Being familiar with other photo and video editing programs, like Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, can make learning Lightroom easier.
