Since Lightroom first launched, Scott Kelby's "The Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers" has been the world's #1
best-selling Lightroom book (it has been translated into a dozen
different languages), and in this latest version for Lightroom 4, Scott
uses his same award-winning, step-by-step, plain-English style and
layout to make learning Lightroom easy and fun.
Scott doesn't just
show you which sliders do what (every Lightroom book will do that).
Instead, by using the following three simple, yet brilliant, techniques
that make it just an incredible learning tool, this book shows you how
to create your own photography workflow using Lightroom:
Throughout
the book, Scott shares his own personal settings and studio-tested
techniques. Each year he trains thousands of Lightroom users at his
"Lightroom Live!" tour and through that he's learned what really works,
what doesn't, and he tells you flat out which techniques work best,
which to avoid, and why. The entire book is laid out in a real workflow
order with everything step by step, so you can begin using Lightroom
like a pro from the start. What really sets this book apart is the last
chapter. This is where Scott dramatically answers his #1 most-asked
Lightroom question, which is: "Exactly what order am I supposed to do
things in, and where does Photoshop fit in?" You'll see Scott's entire
start-to-finish Lightroom 4 workflow and learn how to incorporate it
into your own workflow. Scott knows first-hand the challenges today's
digital photographers are facing, and what they want to learn next to
make their workflow faster, easier, and more fun. He has incorporated
all of that into this major update for Lightroom 4.
It's the first
and only book to bring the whole process together in such a clear,
concise, and visual way. Plus, the book includes a special chapter on
integrating Adobe Photoshop seamlessly into your workflow, and you'll
also learn some of Scott's latest Photoshop portrait retouching
techniques and special effects, which take this book to a whole new
level. There is no faster, more straight-to-the-point, or more fun way
to learn Lightroom than with this groundbreaking book. -- Publisher Marketing
