Written in concert with Adobe's development of the Photoshop Lightroom 2 Beta,
The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers - by #1 bestselling
computer and technology author, Scott Kelby - is the most complete and concise
Lightroom "how-to" book for digital photographers of all skill levels.
In The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers, Scott walks
readers through the basics of Lightroom use, leading them to a brilliantly devised
and super efficient digital photography workflow that dramatically improves
productivity and allows photographers to spend less time processing photos and
more time shooting them.
Throughout the book Scott shares his personal camera and Lightroom settings,
as well as the studio-tested techniques he's developed for his own photography
workflow. The book is written in his trademark step-by-step, plain English style,
and because he knows what really works and what doesn't, he isn't shy to tell
you flat out which tools to use, which to avoid, and why. This allows digital
photographers of any skill level to jump right in using Lightroom like a pro
from the very start, sidestepping a lot of the frustrations that typically haunt
those unfamiliar with new applications…especially those as powerful as
Lightroom.
What really sets The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers
apart from other Lightroom books on the market are the last two bonus chapters
where Scott answers the questions, "In exactly what order am I supposed
to do things in Lightoom," and "Where does Photoshop fit in to the
mix?" Both chapters start with an on-location photo shoot, including full
details on the equipment, camera settings, and lighting techniques. Readers
then witness as he takes the photos from each shoot through the entire workflow
process, to the final output of the 16"x20" prints. And, because he
incorporates Photoshop seamlessly right into this workflow, you'll learn some
of the latest Photoshop techniques for portrait and landscape photography as
well.
If you're one of those people who learns best by actually doing the projects
yourself; who learns best without all the complicated technical explanations
and confusing jargon, and if you really want to start using Lightroom today
to unlock the productivity secrets of "The new digital photography workflow,"---there
is no faster, more "straight-to-the-point" or more fun way to learn
than this groundbreaking new book, and you are absolutely going to love it!
