Testimonials from Real People Like You

  • “I was in desperate need of help untangling a mess I had made of Lightroom. I looked online, and asked all of my friends, to no avail. Nothing worked. I have been using LR for years, and this was a surprise. Fortunately I made contact with Mark through PPA’s Loop forum. He was able to get into my computer remotely, find the problem and get it fixed quickly. Happy happy happy! He really knows Lightroom inside and out and can explain it to anyone.”

  • “I came to Mark Fitzgerald looking for help with Lightroom. I needed to organize about 180,000 photos which I’d accumulated over a decade. Mark is an expert, a superior teacher, and a master at helping set up methods to organize photos so they’re easily accessible. He’s very good natured and unstoppable when it comes to solving seemingly unsolvable situations. If you’re looking for help in this area, I highly recommend Mark.

  • “I contacted Mark for online private training to improve my image editing and formatting skills in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Of all of the types of training methods I have used (workshops and seminars, self-study reading, other online sites) this was unequivocally the best instruction I’ve ever received. The training was clear, focused on the skills I needed, and easy to remember. With Mark observing online, I was able to use the skills I had just learned, which reinforced my comprehension. Mark is patient, pleasant, and understanding. The training Mark offers is definitely worth the cost.”

  • “Mark Fitzgerald is one of the foremost experts on Lightroom!  I had significant issues which 12 different people on the Adobe help desk attempted to solve, including two of the stated “experts of the experts”.  After none of them could retrieve crucial lost LR information for me, Mark stepped in and successfully found the fix.  Without his expertise I would have lost several months of work.”
