Overview
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.
