This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)

I just started the book and being a person that gets distracted easily, I can't seem to stop working with this book! It is great for people that want to learn the nuts and bolts and tricks of Lightroom fast! No fluff just facts and wonderful work flow! I even find myself putting sticky markers all through the book for reference later! Great book! After 40+ years of 35mm I have been doing digital now for about 4 years and this book has helped me with the digital work flow so much thank you Chris!

I was a bit disappointed that all the book was black and white.Without the color in the display boxes,it tends to be hard to understand exactly what they are changing in the display. Although a lot cheeper in price one would be better to save and by the Scott Kelby Lightroom 2 book

3.0 out of 5 stars Adobe? Really?, Nov 15 2008

By Richard A. Selby - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)

First the good, this book is very concise and to the point. I use the index to locate what I'm looking for and viola', a nice description that's to the point without a load of fill and fluff. I like this very much.

The bad: Ahhh... Black and white photos, are you kidding? When I buy a book with the Adobe trade mark on it I expect high quality "color" screen shots and photos, not Black and White. I didn't research this enough to know it was B&W, that's my fault.

I would have given this 2.5 stars if it were possible, the writing/instruction is good, the image design really needs to be reworked with sharper color images.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great support tool, Sep 24 2008

By Christopher Wesselman "photographer" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)

Experienced and intermediate Lightroom users will find this a great reference. It's an excellent support tool, topically organized, in the order of Lightroom's modules and tools. If you need help with a particular tool, like the new gradient filter, it's simple to go right to that section, without having to dig through the index. Also, each section gives me just enough to get going on my own, without a lot of extra verbiage, which might be fun to read, but it's becomes more time-consuming when you just need something quick. This was the first book available, and well priced. I'll probably get his Photoshop book, too, when the CS4 version becomes available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but could be better, Dec 14 2008

By Phil White - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)

I am literate with Photoshop and Illustrator but found a steep learning curve learning Lightroom. I read and studied Kelby's book "the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom book for digital photographers" and found it lacked essential basic information (like what is a catalog and how that differs from files)though it did cover many subjects. This book "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques" by Chris Orwig answered 99% of my questions succinctly. It gave me a working, bread and butter, knowledge of how the program works, what it does that other programs don't, and why and how I should use it.
Now the negatives, only one. Lousy print quality. The examples are to small to see without a magnifying glass and everything is in black and white.
Would I recommend? Unequivocal Yes. Read it first and if you still have questions then buy Kelby's book. At least you'll have a foundation to use to start learning from Kelby....
