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!

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   26 of 26 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars The tops for getting the best out of Lightroom, 13 Jun 2007 By  L. Y. Skipper "zareeba" (Stockton-on-Tees, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    Scott Kelby's immensely practical books on image-editing software are a Godsend to end-users struggling to get to grips with what is often very complex software, and this is no exception. As a professional photographer, Scott Kelby understands exactly what people need to know in order to get the results they want. You won't find detailed descriptions of every single one of Lightroom's features in this book; instead, what you get is a step-by-step guide to how to make the software work for you in a simplified, very practical way. He includes all kinds of tips and hints that are seldom mentioned in other books; his books are classic examples of showing rather than just telling. In other words, he helps you to use the software in the way it was intended: as a tool, rather than something that gets you bogged down with the sheer number and diversity of its features. One especially useful part of the book (because this is where so many people get stuck) is the section on workflow, which takes you through a complete process, from taking the photos (in the first example, covering a wedding) right through to the final presentation. The information about colour management is also very good; however, for European readers this needs a little clarification. In the book Scott talks about downloading the necessary ICC profiles for your printer/paper combination. I use the same printer as he does (well, one of the printers he uses, anyway - the Epson R2400) and I couldn't find any of the necessary profiles on Epson's UK site. In order to download them you need to go to the US site and look under drivers/profiles for your particular printer. Scott's joky style is not to everyone's taste; some people are irritated by his little asides and digressions. However, I find them amusing; they help to give the reader the sensation that the author is addressing them directly, rather than via the impersonal medium of print. Having recently acquired Lightroom, I've found Scott's book so helpful that I can't wait for his Photoshop CS3 book to come out in a few weeks' time...thoroughly recommended.

Doane (U.K.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    As long as you can take Scott's humour then you'll love this book - I like lightroom as I shoot raw and also at odd times use photoshop for touching up. I had got myself around using lightroom a fair bit before getting this book but now I can really maximize the potential and I don't go into photoshop anywhere near as much - there are some many ways to achieve the same end goal and he show you them all so you choose the style best suited to yourself. Love lightroom, well love it allot more now! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I purchased it at the same time as Lightroom itself during February 2008 and hoped that it would help me to understand Lightroom. But this book covers Lightroom 1.0 and though the publisher has provided updates for Lightroom 1.1 we are now on Lightroom 1.3 and soon to be Lightroom 1.4.1. Since Lightroom 1.0 there have been vast changes to this software making this book very different to what we have today. I'm not blaming Scott Kelly for this at all, it is just that things have moved along so swiftly since Lightroom's initial release in 2007. So if you are getting involved with Lightroom don't waste your money on this book because you will be very disappointed. Comment Comments (2) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
