Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Photographers' Guide

by John G. Blair

There is no doubt that the digital photography revolution has opened up a world of wonderful possibilities for photographers of all levels. However, the issue of processing workflow can present a true challenge. The number of photographs that a photographer shoots with a digital camera increases tremendously over what might be shot using standard film. After the shoot is over, each of these images must be processed and edited on a computer monitor--and this can be a daunting task. Adobe Lightroom Photographers' Guide offers a solution to this challenge, providing photographers with a hands-on guide to Adobe's Lightroom product. Using the features offered by Lightroom, it tackles the issue of workflow, providing photographers with a helping hand through the complexities of digital and RAW format workflow.

So I downloaded the free Lightroom beta trial to see how I like it. So far it seems pretty user-friendly, more than Photoshop, but I know I need more information to really unlock all of it's features. This is the only book on Lightroom I could find at a library (in e-book form from Creighton) so hopefully it will help me learn some of the more advanced features of Lightroom. Too bad no libraries carry Scott Kelby's Lightroom guide. :( Unfortunately, this book is not that great. It's organized more in paragraph format so it takes longer to read and refer to the figures than if they had rearranged the pages differently. I like Teach Yourself Visually Lightroom much better. And even better are the tutorials on Adobe's website.
