This is a clearly written book, which explains Lightroom's key concepts and functions from a real world user perspective. Its easy to read, well edited and cross referenced, and can be used successfully either as a progressive course of study or as a 'dip in' reference source. The remarkably small number of pages are laid out logically with very informative screen-grabs and photo-illustrations, which enable you to make sense of the text very quickly. Unlike many books of this type Photoshop Lightroom 2 Made Easy manages to be both a comprehensive introductory guide and to provide considerable insight into the further possibilities of Lightroom, without either on the one hand patronising or on the other confusing the reader.
I have tried on many occasions to make sense of Lightroom and until now failed dismally. For me this book has been a real revelation: In short my entire approach to post processing and file management has now changed radically as a result of Lightroom's concepts and methodologies being unlocked by Sean's book. If you're new to Lightroom then this book is simply a must. If you've struggled with deciphering the application over a period as I have then this book will be like finding the Rosetta Stone. Recommended without reservation!
