Scott Kelby, author of the world's #1 bestselling Photoshop
book, The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers,
brings his same award-winning, step-by-step, plain-English style,
look and feel to The Lightroom Book for Digital
Photographers.
This groundbreaking new book doesn't just show you "which sliders
do what" (every Lightroom book does that). This book takes you
beyond that to reveal the secrets of the new digital photography
workflow, and he does it using three simple, yet brilliant
techniques that make this just an incredible learning tool:
#1) Throughout the book Scott shares his own personal settings and
studio tested techniques he's developed using Lightroom for his own
photography workflow since well before Adobe released even the
first Beta version. He knows what really works, what doesn't, and
he tells you flat out which tools to use, which to avoid, and
why.
#2) The entire book is laid out in a real workflow order with
everything step-by-step, so you can jump right in using Lightroom
like a pro from the very start and sidestep a lot of productivity
killing road blocks and time-wasting frustrations that might have
tripped you up along the way.
#3) But what really sets this book apart from the rest, are the
last two bonus chapters. This is where Scott visually 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?"
Scott teaches this in a manner we've never seen before in any book,
by really showing every step of the entire process, from the
initial shoot to the final prints. Both chapters start with an
on-location photo shoot, including full details on the equipment,
camera settings, and even the lighting techniques. You'll see it
all as he takes the photos from each shoot (with you following
right along using the very same images) all the way through the
entire workflow process, to the final output of the 16x20" prints
for the client. Plus, because he incorporates Adobe Photoshop
seamlessly right into this workflow, you'll also learn some of his
latest Photoshop techniques for portrait and landscape photography,
which takes this book to a whole new level.
It's the first, and only book to bring the whole process together
in such a clear, concise, and visual way. Best all, it's taught in
Scott's trademark plain-English style that has won him legions of
Photoshop fans around the world, and made him the #1 bestselling
author of all computer books across all Computing and Internet
categories since 2004.
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!
