“Overall experience on Zoom was maybe even better than in IRL classroom because the instruction takes place right on your own screen, with less distraction. Great overall experience.”
“Given the fact that we had to do this entire class remotely due to Covid-19, I didn’t have very high expectations it would run so smoothly. However, I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. Not only do I feel very comfortable with the program now, but I’m actually excited to use it!”
“This was the first online class I’ve taken with ND and it was a great experience. Looking forward to the other classes I’ve signed up for!”

7 Students Rated Our Adobe Lightroom Classic 5 Stars

Noble Desktop makes it all seem so easy. You learn an enormous amount in a short time in a friendly supportive environment.

Maria Casa, Council on Foreign Relations

Noble never disappoints. I registered for this class because I wasn't sure I was using Adobe Lightroom properly. Dan helped me see that I was doing well - to a point. There is so much more to the software than I even imagined. Not only was I able to adapt my workflow immediately after class, I can now handle basic retouching without having to switch to Photoshop.

MaryRose Devine

Noble Desktop's Lightroom class is worth the commute into NYC on a weekday morning, even on a freezing winter day. Ben Russell is an excellent photographer and Lightroom expert who's engaging, patient, and never pedantic.

Carlos Martнn

Eugenio, my instructor, is extremely knowledgable & presents the material in a very interesting manner. He cares if we are following his instruction and if we are not he takes the time to answer questions and come over to our personal computer and show us how to do whatever it is we are having a hard time with and that, in a word, is priceless!!

Shonna Valeska, SHONNA VALESKA PHOTOGRAPHY

The Lightroom 2 day workshop which I took was an extremely well spent time for me. I was a true novice, and the course has given me exactly what I need to continue the long process of feeling accomplished with this expansive program. Eugenio is a very patient and thorough teacher. I would highly recommend this course to others! The offer to retake any course within six months is a huge advantage to this school.

Barbara Sieg

Photoshop Lightroom is an AWESOME class at Noble Desktop! I highly recommend this class!

Sherri Jackson

My Lightroom instructor, Eugenio, really knew how to make a complex system comprehensible. He carved down to some of the most important things you need in just two days.
