What People Are Saying About This Course

“Lori is on top of her game. I have taken my skills on Luminar to another level.”

“Lori has a special gift in teaching technical and artistic perspectives that's invaluable. I didn't fully understand the full capabilities of Luminar 4, and Lori did an excellent job in deciphering what tools to use and when.”

“Lori is a great instructor. This was my 3rd course and I found her techniques to be helpful and well thought out.”

This was just what I was looking for at this time. I've used Luminar for a couple of years, self-taught and having an instructor go through all of the features, as well as the additional live sessions, was immensely helpful. There is no substitute for getting tips and insights from a live person. Lori was terrific—the presentations were clear and well-paced, and her style very down-to-earth. I look forward to doing another class or workshop with her."
