I use a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8. The DVD would not load and finally ejected. I tried my wife's computer running 10.7.5 and it loaded as expected.
I had been using LR3 for nearly 2 years and had become pretty facile at using it. Thus, I did not need LR basics but, rather, an updating of what was new. This Crash Course did a good job, I think, of that. Matt Kloskowski is clear in what he says.
Given that I did the Crash Course about 2 weeks ago, I do not remember any specific details of what was learned. However, I remember that there were a few items in the develop module, for which there are 5 videos, that were particularly interesting and useful to me; it's just I cannot recall what they were!
I am new to printing and so was interested in the discussion of the print module, which I found that to be helpful. Subsequent to listening to that, I searched out further information on soft proofing and the use of LR4 in doing that. The Adobe forum on that is worth reading.
Difficult to decide on the "star" rating. It really depends on the users background in going into it. Thus, for some it could be 5, while for others it could be a 1. I gave it a 4 because it was well done and had a few useful points for me.

This came free when I purchased the Lightroom4 and I am glad it did. I would have been extremely disappointed if I would have paid anything more than $5 for this.
Matt covers the basics and lays it out where it is easy to follow and that is why I gave it a 3 star. I think he has useful information however I just feel all that information can be obtained from Youtube or other peoples online blogs.
If you really need a tutorial on Lightroom 4 then just type in Lightroom 4 Tutorial in YouTube and then thank me for saving you $50.
Hope this review helped.

I had played with LR for 30 days, basically blind feeling my way around and then bought the software and this tutorial. It was super easy to follow, and explained things I wouldn't have discovered on my own for some time. Definitely helped me along.

This DVD is exactly what it says. A Crash Course into Lightroom: It might be too basic if you are already familiar with some of the features you find in similar programs so you might want to jump into more advanced lessons. It works for what it says it does though.

This is a great series of ±10 minute lessons to get you started using LR4 with little headaches.
I was totally unfamiliar with LR4 and this was a great addition to have that I have also referred back to again.

Great Tutorial but at times the author/narrator makes sudden moves he expects me to already know... I've learned to keep my eye on his cursor while listening. Bottom line is that this has helped me tremendously and is of course available when needed in easy to access segments.

Lightroom 4 is not useful, so is this. If Lightroom 4 was a fraction as intuitive as DPP, then this crash course would not be needed.

Without this tutorial, getting started with LR4 would be a challenge. This software is organized in logical sequence and categories making it easy to watch the video and then tryout the functionality after watching the respective chapter. I am ready to hit the ground running because of what I have learned with this tutorial. Scott Kelby rocks.

Kelby training is top notch. I learned the original Lightroom via their excellent book and the video lessons are even better. The DVD is far superior to a book for those of us who prefer to see what's going on. The DVD is a real time saver and much quicker than plowing through a book for nights on end.

I got this DVD free with a purchase of Lightroom 4 from B&H. Overall, the material is pretty basic. But, if you have never used Lightroom before I would recommend this DVD. It will help you get the most out of the software with a shorter spinup time.
