[Nickolai · Rating 4 out of 5]

Книга объединяет в себе неплохое пособие по основам фотографии для начинающего фотографа и краткий мануал по программе Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. И если первая часть со временем почти не устаревает, то вторая за годы, прошедшие после издания, стала малополезной, так как интерфейс программы во многом поменялся.

Excellent introduction to digital photography even if the sections on software (Photoshop, Lightroom) are outdated. This is a course text for a course I am taking and it fits nicely with the material from the classroom.
