Hi! In addition to crafting TH-cam videos about creating more interesting photos, I teach photography at Highline College in Seattle, Washington. I got my first camera in 1979, soooo, I’ve been on the journey to more interesting photos for over 40 years (yikes!)
I enjoy helping people (re)discover their creativity and expression through photography.

Thank you so much for this video! It was clear and easy to follow along. I have been trying to learn LR for months off and on. Top notch teaching and quality! I will be watching all of your LR videos from here on out. Thanks a millions for sharing.
I am soooo glad you found the video helpful! Lightroom can be a little intimidating at first, so I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable. Have fun with your photos! Thank you so much for your kind words :)
Thank you! just what I needed👍
Your very welcome! I’m so glad the video was helpful. Many thanks for taking the time to comment and let me know! Have fun in Lightroom!
Enjoyed! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome, Julia! I’m glad the video was helpful. Have fun creating photos!
I have watched nearly all of your lessons, this one several times. It has been the best experience in learning. I was so apprehensive with LrC, it was so intimidating. You have broken it down into bite-size pieces so I can understand and implement what I have learned. Thank you for allowing a newbie photographer to be able to learn in such a simple to understand language.
Hi Roger! Your comment pretty much sums up why I make these videos! I am so glad you found the Lightroom videos helpful. If you have any ideas for topics I missed, just let me know. Except the tone curve - I kinda know how that works, but not enough to teach it yet 😎 Here’s to lots of Lightroom editing fun in your future!
Hi Michael, thank you for this teaching video.
Hi Emilio! Thanks for watching and many thanks fir sharing these kind words. Have fun with your photos and Lightroom!
Great video-Tx-professional, but friendly, accurate and easy to follow. Tx much
Hi! Many thanks for your kind comment. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
Thanks Michael for this video! This is soooo helpful!
Hi Yasha! Yay!!! I'm so glad this video was helpful. Here's to all your photo adventures ahead!
@@MSladekPhoto Thank you!
I learned so much from this video, i don't think no one explained this before. Thanks
Hi Leidy! I'm so glad this video was helpful. Best wishes on your future photo and Lightroom adventures!
Thank you so MUCH!!!!!! Your a life saver seriously =}
Hi April! Yay - so glad the Lightroom Import video was helpful!!! Best wishes on your Lightroom adventures.
Thank you for sharing step by step instructions and making learning how to use Lightroom classic so easy.
Hi! Thanks for letting me know the Lightroom video was helpful. Here's to many days of photo editing!
@@MSladekPhoto what order would you recommend watching your video?
@@besweet7533 For Lightroom? Start with "Why Lightroom?" then: Import, Basic Panel Edits, Export, and then any order you prefer for the other ones... Hope that helps!
@@MSladekPhoto yes sir for Lightroom. I’m sorry I didn’t make myself clear. Thank you for sharing your knowledge I do greatly appreciate it.
@@besweet7533 You're welcome!
I really appreciated this video. thanks Michael. Even though the Adobe support documentation is very good, I sometimes get frustrated and just jump into the software and try to work it out by myself. However, your advice regarding which settings are best and why, are much appreciated. I found it easy to mostly listen to your soundtrack whilst following along and working through the LrC program whilst listening. I especially appreciate that you don't talk too fast, like some of your fellow countrymen do ! here in the UK we often struggle with rapid spoken instructions. Good teaching pace, thanks very much.
Hi! I’m so glad your found the video helpful and greatly appreciate your feedback. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for future videos. Cheers! P.S. I’m glad to not be a typical American fast talker ;)
Thank you for your video. Jura from Prag
Hi Jura! You're very welcome. And, thank you for watching the video and sharing your thoughts. Cheers!
This is brilliant. I am just working out the best membership option?
Hi Mike! Best channel membership is the one that fits your budget, I guess ;) I appreciate your support so much! If you have questions, send me an email here - msladekphoto.com/contact
Hi Michael, I just found your tutorials here on YT. I'm having an issue and wanted to ask you a question. I wanted to import old, captioned tiff files so I can refresh the look of some images. After importing I'm losing all the titles and descriptions (keywords are still in place). I'll be happy if you help me with this... Thanks. Henryk.
Hi Henrik! Welcome to the channel, glad you found me. This is a really great question, that I do not have an answer to. I see that Lightroom has a field in metadata for "Title" and "caption" so that data should be preserved on import. I wonder if the program that was used to generate the title and caption is labelling those fields in a way LR does not recognize? I did a brief online search on the topic, and found this possible answer on Adobe forums: community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/titles-tags-captions-deleted-from-files-on-import-to-lr/m-p/9992749 Good luck out there!!!
@@MSladekPhoto Thanks a lot! It was all about the LR importing settings...
I am new to editing in Lightroom and have loads of unedited photos on an external harddrive, where I would prefer to keep them instead of having them stored on the computer. I guess it is just a matter of selecting another destination/location in the relevant process step of this tutorial or am I confused?
Hi Bettina! Yes, you can save your photos to an external drive (either as you import in Lightroom, or before) and then point Lightroom to their location. This is what I do, as I my photos take up more space than the internal drive on my laptop. Hope that helps!
@@MSladekPhoto yes, absolutely. Thanks a lot.
Hey Michael,
Why are my pictures uploading to my laptop storage instead of LRC?
Hi! Lightroom doesn’t “store” your photos - they have to be stored on your computer. Hope that helps!
How do you import photos from one drive to Lightroom classic
Hi Donna! I don't use One Drive, so I am unable to directly answer your question. However, since One Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox all work the same and are synchronized to a cloud service, I can recommend this - don't import photos from a drive that's synchronized to a cloud service. Lightroom "needs" the photos to always be in same place on a local/static drive (can be an external drive - that's what I do.) Best wishes!
This was a great video but I’m sitting here in a puddle of tears because it’s not working on my end. I have used Lightroom and photoshop for years, how is this so ridiculous?!?! Ugh!!!!!
Hi! Ugh!!! No fun when importing to Lightroom is not working the way you want. Would you please give me a little more info about what specific problem you're having, and I'll try to help?
You do too much talking and not enough teaching
Hi Jo. I’m glad you feel comfortable and confident enough to share your critique of my teaching style. I hope you’re able to find content that has the right ratio of talking and teaching. Take care!
@@MSladekPhoto I hope so too. But as of this evening I haven’t been lucky enough. I simply wanted someone to teach me how to import pictures into Lightroom from the desktop and the other video I watched claimed they’d teach the viewer how to import from the desktop, but changed their mind to teach how into import straight from the memory card. My pictures weren’t on a memory card... they were on my desktop.
The process for importing from desktop or memory card is almost exactly the same. The main difference is the source you choose. So, for source, at at top left of Import window, choose “Other Source” after clicking on the “From...” Then, navigate to location or your photos. If you don’t want a new copy of the photos to be organized by Lightroom, choose “Add” from the options in the middle top of the Import window. Hope that helps!
@@MSladekPhoto Thank you for the help Michael.
You’re very welcome! Have fun with Lightroom.
