While Adobe Photoshop has long been their choice for editing digital photographs, many photographers want a more focused tool. That’s where Adobe Photoshop Lightroom comes in. Designed from the ground up with digital photographers in mind, Photoshop Lightroom offers powerful editing features in a streamlined interface that lets photographers import, sort, and organize images. This completely updated and expanded bestseller, The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book, was also written with photographers in mind. Author Martin Evening describes features in Photoshop Lightroom 2 in detail from a photographer’s perspective. As an established commercial and fashion photographer, Martin knows first-hand what photographers need for an efficient workflow. He has also been working with Lightroom from the beginning, monitoring the product’s development and providing feedback on the public beta. As a result, Martin knows the software inside and out, from image selection to image editing to image management. The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book contains 624 pages of comprehensive and detailed coverage of all aspects of Lightroom. In this book you’ll learn how to: • Work efficiently with images shot in the raw or JPEG format • Import photographs with ease and sort them according to your workflow • Create and manage a personal image library • Apply tonal adjustments to multiple images quickly • Integrate Photoshop Lightroom with Adobe Photoshop • Export images for print or Web as digital contact sheets or personal portfolios The book structure has been organized to match a typical Lightroom workflow. The introductory chapter provides an overview of all the main Lightroom features, showing how Lightroom 2 was used on a studio photo shoot that was specially shot to illustrate the book. The following chapters cover all the essentials, such as importing photos, working with the Library module, and managing the catalog database. The biggest section of the book is devoted to working with the Develop module and provides some unique insights into working with new features such as the localized adjustment tools. There is also a whole chapter devoted to image sharpening and another on integrating Lightroom and Photoshop, where you will learn how to devise the best workflow methods for working between these two programs. This is followed by a chapter on printing and a presentation chapter on the Slideshow and Web modules. Lastly, there are two appendix chapters. One offers a complete overview of the Lightroom 2 preference settings, while the other provides some in-depth explanations and background reading on how the Lightroom program works. The book is richly illustrated, mostly using the author’s own photographs, and one of the nice features of this book is the way enlarged panel views are used throughout, making it easier for readers to follow the settings used in the various step-by-step examples. There are also lots of tips that will help you take your Lightroom techniques to an advanced level. If you are looking for the most comprehensive coverage of Lightroom, written by an author who is closely involved with the development of the program, this is the book to get. About the Author Martin Evening is a London-based advertising and fashion photographer and noted expert in both photography and digital imaging. In addition to being a bestselling author, Martin is sought after for speaking and lecturing. He also works with the Photoshop and Lightroom engineering teams, consulting on new feature development and alpha and beta testing. He is one of the founding members of PixelGenius, a software design company producing automated production and creative plug-ins for Photoshop. |

Written on September 30, 2008 Summary: Outstanding Book Even with the upgraded material, it goes beyond what could have been added to the LR1 version. Excellent reading, easy to understand, perfect examples and photos.  Written on September 17, 2008 Summary: Good and comprehensive - Evening scores again As with his Photoshop books Martin Evening again wrote a book that is comprehensive and covers most everything for photographers from beginners to pro. Being on the consultation and testing staff for Lightroom 2 made Martin somebody who knows. And his background as a professional photographer makes all information really worthwhile. Written on September 10, 2008 Summary: Worth every penny! I missed out on Martin's first book and waited for his second to cover Lightroom 2. Easy to understand. Steps through every process and covers all the basics as well as complex concepts. Will suit a novice or experienced Lightroom 1 user, who just wants to know about the new things in version 2. Highly recommended and a must if you want to utilise all the great things the program offers!  Written on September 9, 2008 Summary: The best of what's out there now (until Kelby) My concern going in was that this book had been rushed to market to beat Kelby and others to the punch. I thought that perhaps my concerns were warranted when I found a typo in the book's Forward and a 76 word (!) run on sentence to start the Introduction. However, the rest of the book does not appear rushed and is reasonably informative. Like many of you who would read this review I was anxious to get some guidance after upgrading to LR 2.0. I bought the Luminous Landscape video (it looked like they were learning LR on the fly as they were taping the video even though I know Schewe was involved throughout). At the time I purchased this book Lynda.com had not released their LR 2.0 course so this book was the only game in town. I have many of Kelby's books and I like his style both in print and in video so I am looking forward to getting it when it's available. For now, this book will tell you more than you already know and it's a serviceable primer if you're starving for info like I was. Written on September 9, 2008 Summary: Great book! I've been using Lightroom since 1.0 and I've been loving it since the first time I used it. However, it is still useful to have a book to use as reference material when you are trying to do something in particular and cannot figure out how to properly do it. This book provides a thorough in-depth look at Lightroom and I highly recommend it. |
