Book Reviews of The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers
Book Review: A 'MUST' for every photographer ... whatever their skill level!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm guessing that anyone who has a camera and at least gets the occasional Photography magazine will have heard of Adobe's latest additonal to their arsenal of software ... Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. The software is without doubt a great piece of kit giving the photographer a 'one stop shop' from importing images to ending up with the final print in your hands. However...this 'great' piece of kit becomes 'awesome' once you've got your hands on the new book by Scott Kelby, "The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book".
I'm very much the kind of person that likes books to bombard me with information, but that being said, if it's written in a clinical, factual style then I'd probably get to then middle of chapter one and be done with it. From then on, I'd jump in and out of chapters picking up on little things, but undoubtedly missing out on the big picture.
Scott Kelby's style of writing is sure not to suit everyone, but I for one find it a pleasurable read. Scott writes as if he's in the same room chatting with you, which serves to work extremely effectively. Some readers may not warm to his sense of humour, but you've got to ask yourself "Do I want to get the most of out of this book or not?" If you don't warm to it, then look past it, cos there's plenty of information there to take your mind away from it and onto the task at hand...learning.
In summary then, I really do feel that occasionally books get written and there's alot of hype about how good they are. Naturally the publishers are gonna 'beef it up' so as to increase sales, but believe me ... this just isn't necessary in this case. The book speaks for itself, and I genuinely believe that if you're a photographer then you need to be using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom; and if you have Adobe Photoshop Lightrooon, then you need this book.
One more thing ... do as Scott suggests and read from cover to cover; you'll be glad you did, despite the overwhelming temptation to skip to the last 2 chapters which bring it all together.
