Digital Photographer's Guide to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (A Lark Photography Book)

Digital technology has transformed the entire photographic workflow--and Adobe™ Lightroom, the latest application from the creators of Photoshop, is at the forefront of the revolution. With this in-depth guide, photographers can make the most of the cutting-edge software and understand the entire image-making process. It's filled with expert tips and techniques, and comprehensively covers both professional essentials (setting up photo libraries, white balance) and advanced topics like studio branding. You'll learn how to have a photo shoot, whittle it down to the best shots, and fine-tune their tone, balance, and exposure. Zoom in, zoom out, crop, and undo, all without altering the original. Put the file on CD or the web for clients or friends, then make picture-perfect prints, in color, mono, or sepia. The possibilities are amazing!

A Really Helpful Starter, Even for Users of Lightroom 2

I've looked through (and even purchased) several Lightroom books and was always overwhelmed by their sheer volume and wordiness. I'm new to it and just wanted the basic concepts and most useful tasks explained in a simple way, and Mr. Beardsworth's book does just that. After reading it, I feel like I've laid the foundation for moving on to the wordier and heavier volumes. I thank him for increasing my skill set and comfort level with Lightroom. I have Lightroom 2, and though the book applies to 1, the basic concepts and actions are pretty much the same. Looking forward to an updated book!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

For anyone who has the old lightroom (up through 1.4) this is the book you NEED! Its the perfect reference book, and great book to read through to learn about all the hidden things lightroom can do. In the matter of a few hours, just reading through this book and messing around on the computer- you can really get a great overview and knowledge of how this great program can speed up your workflow. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR LIGHTROOM 1.4!!!

excellent -converted me from using Photoshop CS3

Excellent book. I am a professional photographer and an advanced photoshop CS3 and bridge user. This book is easy to learn from in front of your computer and is quite advanced in technique without any lame attempts at humor or asides. After reading this I am a believer in Lightroom! Jason [...].

Excellent thought process for Lightroom

While it is true that this book does not cover LR 1-1 release due to it reaching circulation at the same time (July 2007) the thought process behind Lightroom is covered very well and much of it, and the details, is easily applied to LR 1-1. If you are a visual learner (like me) then this book is for you. The overall format is some printed thought process (two paragraphs or so), with 4-7 steps worth of screen captures. This got me 99% of the way there for nearly every major function of LR The author is a big time believer of Presets and batch processing (as am I) and it was great to see the workflow laid out nice and simple. The steps described are very simple to adapt to the current version so don't be held back by that, after all who knows when the 1-1ish book version will be out. I did look thru Kelbys books, others, and this one (all at B & N) and found the other ones far too wordy but again that is simply because of my learning style. I only gave this four stars due to the unfortunate publication date coinciding with the release of 1-1 LOL, but I will also buy the next version from this author :)
