What a wonderful company for photography training!

What a wonderful company in all they do for photographers! The quality and quantity of training courses here are amazing. Scott Kelby is so talented, funny, and is a gifted teacher. When he is teaching a course or giving us a tip, it’s as if we are listening to our best friend teaching us!

Returning to Lightroom

I am returning to Lightroom after a very long time.I can't believe much it's changed. I can't wait to experience all the new things that have been added. I am sure doing Photography again and using Lightroom will be a great adventure.

Great courses & offers!

I primarily joined KelbyOne as part of a 14-day trial offer. Didn't realize I'd be devouring the relevant courses (there are A LOT of courses) within that trial period, and i'm actually debating continuing the subscription beyond the trial period!
When not listening to a course, I realized KelbyOne offers discounts and freebies to multiple photography tools (be it software or hardware).

Absolutely a must-try, no matter your skill/experience level. There's always something to learn

Storage Overload

All the how to videos are great. Learning a lot. But looking for how to manage storage to avoid paying multiple companies cloud space, ie Apple and creative cloud. Looking for ideas vs how too.

Clear and to the point!

The lessons are short, to the point and very clear. It is nice to be able to go back and review them as many times as you want, as you apply the techniques the first few times. I am very happy that I selected KelbyOne to learn how to use Photoshop!

Kelby has been around forever

Kelby has been around forever. He wrote many books about Photoshop that were well organized, interesting to read with valuable instruction. Navigating to the web, and it's still good. But the thing that I admire the most is the practice of notifying you 30 days in advance of your subscription renewal and providing detailed instructions of how to cancel. WOW! Who does that these days? Only Kelby. I stayed. I wish he would resume in-person Photoshop World, those conventions were the best.

I like the classes

I like the classes. I don't like that classes I purchased outright no longer show up in my account under my classes but only in my purchase history once I've watched even just one, or two segments. The reason I purchased the classes instead of getting a membership is that the membership model has too wide a scope of material of which a huge amount does not apply to me, and I purchased the courses so I can revisit them anytime I want. Taking the out of my account infringes on my purchase and I'm not at all happy about this recent practice. Keep it up and I will demand a refund.

I've used Kelby training before and I liked it.
I recently had to replace my Nikon D300s. The Nikon I bought was quit a bit more advanced than my D300s. I can shoot ok with it, but I wanted to do better. So I tried getting information off YouTub and the internet in general. The information was ok but not what I was really looking for. So I went back to Kelby Training to see what they had.
The courses that they offered fit what I wanted and I signed back up for a year.

Using iPhone during travel

I watched the video lesson covering travel photography with the iphone. Scott explained everything in an easy to understand style. I learned a few important things which will help me when I travel. The content was just right and Scott's teaching style appealed to me a lot!
I hope to learn a lot more from the KelbyOne courses.

Very Organized but Flexible Learning System.

I love the structure showing tracks and appropriate lessons in a thoughtful order. There is enough diversity in the lessons to keep them interesting. Photography has changed alot over the years and it is nice to have a way to get caught up with current techniques.
