Book Reviews of Teach Yourself VISUALLY Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech))
Book Review: Great book by my better half
Summary: 5 Stars
Lightroom is a true "Killer App" as some are wont to call it. I have read almost every book out there on Lightroom 1 and now Lightroom 2. Just when I thought I had figured out the best file naming convention, Adobe changes the rules. I have talked with my friend, George Jardine, and my new best friend, Tom Hogarty, about the best naming convention method. While both have given me wonderful tips, tricks and techniques, it still did not click with me mentally. Yes, I had also gotten a copy of the newest Lightroom 2 book written by my other good friend, the largest selling computer book author on the planet, Scott Kelby. I literally poured through it and while I did pick up some great tips, I'm still not getting the best way for me to take my images from my two cameras (notice I said, two) and get them into Lightroom with a naming convention that does not cause me problems. I just picked up Lynette Kent's newest book. Teach Yourself Visually Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, and by page 38 I had it figured out and by page 232 I had most of the program pretty well down. Yes, she has me understanding how each module worked and the interdependent way each works and yet works together. I guess at this point I should explain that Lynette is also my better half. When she works on her books, for all practical purposes, she is in a virtual black hole. I am able to talk with Lynette when she has a photography question, a question about lighting or color. The rest of the time, when she is not at her computer writing, we don't discuss her books. We get to like each other that way. With that knowledge you would think I am prejudiced in her favor. Yes, I am and yet if she makes a glaring error I will tell her. I have not found any yet. Here's the bottom line. If you know the difference between a bus stop and an "f" stop, this is the book for you. If you normally perform minor improvements to the images you
shoot, this is the book for you. If you don't feel that you need the overhead of any version of Photoshop, this is the book for you. Just make sure that your monitor is accurate and giving you correct color and you will now be able to put the difference between Lightroom and Photoshop CS 4 into a great new prime lens instead of more software.
