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: embed.video ('swf','/images/f lash/scott_lr.swf' , {width:218,height :205, scale:'exactfit', quality:'best'},' #product_intro'); 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,"----ther e is no faster, more "straight-to-the-p oint" or more fun way to learn than this groundbreaking new
book, and you are absolutely going to love it!
