Book Reviews of Photoshop Lightroom Adventure: Mastering Adobe's next-generation tool for digital photographers
Book Review: Adobe Lightroom Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
I know some reviewers have critized this guide as being neither fish nor fowl, but I think it is a worthwhile purchase. The photos of Iceland are the icing on the cake--the text is clear and informative. I was not sure I really wanted to purchase the program until I got a better grasp of its potential; this book provides the overview I needed, and is sufficiently detailed that I should be able to use the program effectively. The page layout is quite good and the photos really are outstanding. Highly recommended!
Summary of Photoshop Lightroom Adventure: Mastering Adobe's next-generation tool for digital photographers
This beautifully illustrated and eminently practical book is the first to offer a complete tour of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.2, the integrated digital photography workflow application that allows serious photographers to import, select, develop and showcase large volumes of digital images. Augmented by photos and case studies from a demanding road test in Iceland, award-winning photographer Mikkel Aaland explains how Lightroom 1.2 can improve the way you work.After watching -- and often helping -- Adobe create Lightroom entirely from the ground up, Aaland (author of Photoshop CS2 RAW) was ready to see how well it would do in the field. He organized a group of 12 top-notch photographers for a trek to "Nature's Light Room", the pristine Icelandic landscape where each summer day is bathed in 22 hours of horizontal light -- and where the only studio was Lightroom on a laptop. In Photoshop Lightroom Adventure, Aaland uses hands-on knowledge from the trip to demonstrate how Lightroom 1.2 can help you create the best possible image under any conditions.
This unique tutorial walks you step-by-step through Lightroom's:
- Library module for uploading, sorting, tagging, ranking and adding keywords to your images
- Develop module with Adobe Camera RAW for complete non-destructive color and tonal adjustments
- Slideshow module, where you select and size images, and export the show to HTML, Flash, or PDF formats
- Print module, which includes several templates for printing contact sheets or full images
- Web module, where you can create Flash or HTML web galleries
