I bought Lightroom a few months back and have been using it without too much of a clue as to what I should be doing to develop my images.

Most of the time I only do the following.

Crop
set white balance
Alter exposure
Raise Vibrance
Raise Saturation
Enable Lens Profile Correction
If it is a high ISO image raise luminescence to 20-40% to reduce noise

I also 'discovered' yesterday that if I had an underexposed image with a large proportion of black in it that raising the exposure to a correct setting will make the black grey, and I could counter this by raising the black level.

What I'm after is any advice as to how I can improve my knowledge of Lightroom, it's not as simple as googling as I don't really know what I want to do:lol:.
 
Loads of videos on YouTube. That is what I did and a lot of playing about.

Buy Scott Kelby's book. Very easy to understand and it takes you through full workflow and explains what you should be doing and why. It also points out a lot of things that you can do that you wouldn't even think of asking about.

Cheers just had a look that book looks great, I'll order myself a copy.

The other websites suggested have been bookmarked too:thumbs:
 
As has already been said, Julieanne Kost's videos are exceptionally good. (http://www.jkost.com/lightroom.html).

I've bought several of Scott Kelby's books in the past, but find them rather dull and they often sit as unread reference books whereas I found Julieanne's videos spot on.
