   Thanks for reminding what I should be doing with my files. I get so wrapped in daily life that I often forget.\n\nThanks! Great info.\n\nthe workflow chart and notes with each step will be very helpful and as a visual person even better! Thanks!\n\nThis talk on digital file management was motivating and inspiring. I'm ready to analyze my old file naming system and make some changes. Thank you!\n\nThis was Fabulous! I really need this. I get lost in figuring out what to do with all my photos/files.\n\nThis was my first webinar. I felt it was possibly a little advanced for me, as far as working with computer files and unfamiliar software, even though I have had some experience with both. I was, however, able to glean some helpful tips and workflow ideas which I hope will get me better organized. I think a beginner would have been a bit lost.\n\nThis was such perfect timing for what I'm doing with a family photo archive. I loved her suggestions and strategies and this pushed me over to get Lightroom CC. I am a Photoshop CS5 user who keeps trying to convince myself I don't need to upgrade. But I see that I do. I use the old Adobe Bridge and can't wait to get the new one. Thank you, Denise.\n\nThis was very new info for me, but I soon understood what the presenter was saying; she explained everything well.\n\nTruly outstanding. I've always wondered exactly how Lightroom worked and this was the best explanation I've heard by far. As was her description of the sidecar. \n\nUntil this presentation, I wasn't aware of the concept of destructive & non-destructive editing. Based on what I have heard thus far, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, probably, will be the photo management software that best meets my needs. Thank you Denise & Geoff! \n\nVERY ENJOYABLE.\n\nVery good information. Will be watching again, since I had to miss the first part. Thanks!\n\nVery helpful for hints regarding my many photos and documents. Thank you.\n\nVery helpful!\n\nVery helpful!\n\nVery helpful, thank you.\n\nVery informative\n\nVery informative\n\nVery informative.\n\nVery informative.\n\nVery practical webinar which definitely helps me think more about how to re-organize/name/file my very messy photo files. \n\nvery useful information and efficiently presented. Many thanks\n\nWell done!\n\nwell planned, pleasant voice, good presenter, knows her stuff, thanks\n\nWell presented & paced; thank you\n\nWonderful!\n\nWonderful! Terrific teacher. Thank you

   I appreciate her advice but as a photographer her (admittedly very good advice) was preaching to the choir for me. Very useful for non-photographers who hadn't already discovered Lightroom and modified their workflow to incorporate it. \n\nI enjoyed the webinar very much. This is something I am just wanting to start doing, and needed the info. I will have to download the syllabus, because I couldn't see the slides in the PowerPoint. Thank you!\n\nI found Denise's file-naming suggestions very helpful.\n\nI have been trying to get my research in order. I think this will help me. Thanks. \n\nI learned a lot about naming and managing digital photos, digital assets, and documents. I will also look into cloud storage. Thank you!\n\nI learned a lot especially that I have a lot more to learn, I really did enjoy this webinar and look forward to watching more of Denise's webinars.\n\nI liked the pacing and thoughtful style of the presenter. Just right for an intro.\n\nI liked the specifics about the different editing systems.\n\nI love Denise's measured voice...not too slow and not too fast. Southerners like myself, have a hard time following speakers who talk rather fast. LOL\n\nI thought it would cover more than just photographs although I did get good information to use.\n\nI thought the presenter was excellent in her detail and thoroughness.\n\nInfomative\n\nInformative about photo handling. \n\nInformative, but I still need to assess my needs and learn more about it.\n\ninteresting though a little over my head. I will check out Adobe Bridge as a starter option. Thank you!\n\ninteresting; will need to review it a few more times to understand completely all that was put forth.\n\nIt was interesting, but a bit over my head.\n\nLearned about Adobe Lightroom. Was not familiar with that. other interesting steps to take to manage digital files (some that I do now, some that I don't).\n\nLot's of useful information for handling digital photos.\n\nMost informative. Thank you! : )\n\nMy husband swears by Adobe Lightroom, so I guess I better learn how to use it.\n\nPleasant and clear presenter\n\nRating this one 4-1/2. Very educational, but very focused on Adobe Lightroom, which is a monthly subscription product that must be maintained moving forward. That being said, Ms. Levenick is a very good educator and was kind enough to include alternative products in her presentation. Ms Levenick also answered questions about software that she previously used, providing her reasoning for moving to her current preferred software. I would definitely enjoy future webinars featuring Ms Levenick.\n\nShe gave me some ideas about products for editing and backup. I am currently using an external hard drive s and several U.S.B. hard drives,\n\nShe was thorough in her presentation. Mirrors handout pretty good. Helpful with planning file management organization, file naming and suggestions on photo software. Excellent with communicating about non-destructive software. \n\nSo logical and informative! Thank you!\n\nSomewhat useful, but technical stuff a challenge.\n\nSort-of over my head. But with the syllabus links I can probably do it. I didn't understand some vital terms like browser. \n\nSuperb!\n\nThank you Denise! I have been working with Lightroom - this webinar gave me new insights into developing a workflow. I'm curious to know how /where you keep your PDF files ... I'll check your blog.\n\nThank you for a relevant, informative and interesting webinar.\n\nThank you for all the advice today!
