Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers,The (Voices That Matter)
Book Review: Cut the humor!
Summary: 3 Stars
If you want to be given 25 steps to every little step of the workflow, this is the book for you. If you want to read numerous attempts of humor, while trying to learn Lightroom, this is the book you want. And if you want to have an author keep telling you to export to Photoshop, this is your book. You wonder what software he is talking about sometimes, there are so many references to Photoshop. If he was paid to write about Lightroom, then why does he spend half the book talking about Photoshop? He keeps you going in circles, constantly.
And the illustrations are horrible, at best. They are printed very small, so you have no idea which adjustment is being discussed, let alone, where the cursor is pointing. Puh-lease? What good are the illustrations if you don't know what is being discussed or what is going on? And often times, the illustrations from a discussion is on the NEXT page, so you have to flip back and forth to figure out what he's talking about. Very poor organization and thought process.
Don't get me wrong, this man knows Adobe software upside down and backwards. But his style leaves a lot to be desired. After reading his book I got smart and bought the one by Adobe. THAT's the book you want to read and learn from. Save your money and buy the Adobe book and cut out at least 25 pages of attempted humor and references to exporting to Photoshop.

Summary of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers,The (Voices That Matter)
This book takes you beyond showing you which sliders do what to reveal the secrets of the new digital photography workflow using Adobe Lightroom, and he does it using three simple techniques that make this just a great 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) In the last two bonus chapters Scott visually answers his No.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 by 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 all the way through the entire workflow process, to the final output of the 16x20 prints for the client.Digital Photography Books
