Is this of Any value?

This was in my email inbox. I clicked on it excited. But I think it is real bad. What is the opinion of the experts in forum?

Well, Lynda.com is pretty respected and offers some good tutorials. I know Adobe often links sample video from them on their own help sites.

But, honestly, looking at that promo picture and the amount of noise it exhibits, it seems like the tutorial could be pretty short:
Step One: Open photo in Camera RAW
Step Two: Find the "shadow" slider
Step Three: Slide it all the way to the right
Step Four: You're done.

Lightroom 101 for people who couldn't get the exposure right in camera?

For this guy and this shot;
Step Zero: Set camera to P or Green Box mode.
"..... because I don't think I was really allowed to take photos in this Church, I snuck one in without really checking my settings...."
If you choose to shoot without bothering about settings, give setting selection over to the camera's programmer.

It's also considered polite and civil to request permission in such situations, if permission is declined, accept and respect the decliner, maintain self respect.
".....patreon supporter blah blah..... and this person who wants to remain nameless"
Kind of makes the presenter come across as a shill, never mind ethics.

The video has an adolescent aspect of 'Tee Hee and giggles, I got away with something I probably shouldn't have attempted, help me divvy up the booty'.

I'm calling this one as questionable ethics. What's next for this clown, upskirt?

everything discussed in the video is standard fare. is this really worth a thread? i would have thought this community is well beyond instructional videos about using sliders in ACR.

Canon has the ability to display a LCD histogram in live view mode...why would you need to fix iexposure in LR?

You right. I posted it to show how bad an instruction video can be. But again it is meaningless.
