Need Help Enhancing Digital Photos with Software

[PhotoHobbyist]

I am trying to learn how to use all the controls in RawTherapee to enhance photos. The best brief video I've seen so far on lightroom workflow is below. I don't have a clue, but trying to figure out all the controls. Are there a other brief to-the-point tutorials than I could learn from?

Often, looking for specific actions or problem cures can help zero-in on what any given editing program can do for you.

I thin a huge problem is overthinking the process. I tried photoshop to start nd could not do the first thing with it! Went to a less expensive one and actually got it to work some. But changed computer's and program didn't work in the new computer. So looked on line for free programs and found Picasa 3. Won't do all the expensive programs do by a long shot but am able to enhance my photo's in it to where I generally like them and doesn't take a long time to do. Pretty simple stuff and it could still fail with over thinking. But I'm not a pro and have no illusions of ever becoming one so good enough for me is good enough for me! Probably those programs are great if you can learn to use them. Brother in Michigan learned photoshop really well but he was up till early mornings to many times trying to learn it. Then again he was a pro all his life and photo's were his livelihood! Turning a great hobby into a working business requires lots of extra work I'm simply not interested in. Then again there are lot's of people that would take it on just for the challenge! That ain't me either!!

I use Photoshop and Lightroom. I started with them by reading some books, by Scott Kelby, on PS & LR and I am so glad I did.
