Fantastic Lightroom tutorial I have been using Lightroom for several months now, but felt I was missing out on its full potential. I needed someone who knows what they are talking about to take me through it step-by-step and show me all the features and how to use them to improve workflow efficiency and end product quality. Scott Kelby has done that for me with this book. I happen to like his jokey style, so reading the book and using it with Lightroom was like having a pal who was talking me through it.

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers The content of the book is very thorough infact too much so.
Scott Kelby takes you through his way of doing things in great detail.
Unfortunately the book is very poorly structured for example there is a section titled "best ways to veiw your photos" there are then 27 steps to follow over 15 pages in order to complete this none of which have a title so very difficult to refer back to the section you want, beacuse of this it is probably the most unhelpful book I have ever bought.
