What our customer's say!

"Get this book today!", Scott Kelby writes easy-to-apply instructions for all things Lightroom in this book. Makes my job MUCH easier!

"New to Lightroom 2? You'll like this!", I really like this guide, there are so many little details that are unfolded in this book. I like Scott's goofy humor it's right up my alley.

The layout is nice if you follow his instructions to start at the beginning and read it through, if you skip around you may lose some details.
Yes, you can use it as a reference but Scott has a direction he wants you to use.

I would highly recommend this if your new to Lightroom 2, it will save you time and help you gain some great understanding.

Scott made e-mailing from Lr so easy with my Mac, the masking/sharpening technique was an excellent, I use it frequently with portrait work. Theses are just a couple of great things in this guide.

You can't go wrong with this guide, I highly recommend it to new, intermediate and experienced users.

"Lightroom 2 rocks!", Scott Kelby has done it again.
In The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers, Scott Kelby uses photos from some of his professional photoshoots as examples to take the reader step by step through organizing, developing, and printing your digital photographs. Along the way he points out all of the hidden secrets and nuances that make Lightroom 2 such a powerful package. Things most of us could never discover on our own were we to purchase and use Lightroom 2 without Scott's help.
Because, among other things, Lightroom 2 is a workflow program Scott recommends readers do not "jump around" in the book, but rather, start at the beginning and work right through chapter by chapter. Since it is a 419 page tutorial this seems a little daunting, but believe me, it is well worth the effort.
If you are a digital photographer, whether professional or amateur, and want to use Lightroom 2; do yourself a favor and purchase Scott Kelby's excellent book.
You won't be disappointed.

"Another great book from Scott Kelby", Scott Kelby has again written a book that makes getting started using Lightroom 2 easy.

"Quickest way to get up and running in Lightroom 2", I had never used Lightroom before in my life.. I wasn't even sure what all it COULD do. I just knew that a lot of people recommended it so I thought I'd give it a try. I installed the software and then stared at it blankly. I had no clue where to begin. I clicked a few buttons but got really lost really fast. I began to wonder if I'd wasted my money. But luckily I'd also picked up Scott Kelby's book. :)

First of all i LOVE Scott's humor. I love "mental breaks" and always get a chuckle out of his chapter introductions. I read the intro to the book which recommends downloading a video, and his sample files so you can follow along. I think some of the chapter 4 pictures may be mis-filed under chapter 5 though so if you can't find a picture, check another chapter file.

So I stayed up past 1am the first night going through the first 5 chapters. I was hooked and amazed! His book was easy to follow and really got me excited about what this program can do. The first 3 chapters or so are all about organization. A part of me wanted to skip this part, but i didn't.. it's worth a read. It's amazing what they've built into this.. much different than the organizer used in Photoshop Elements. It has ways to compare photos side by side, or show a before and after edits... very cool stuff! Finally I got to the first chapter on developing photos. Good stuff.

I'm only half way through the book, but at least I'm up and running. I know enough to be dangerous. :) Enough to be excited and in love with Lightroom! I love that he even showed you the settings to get that trendy gritty look in your photographs!

I haven't looked at any other Lightroom books but if you're new to Lightroom I can attest that this book is fantastic. it'll teach you step by step the proper workflow to maximize your use of Lightroom! So hurry up and hit that Buy button! :)

Read this reviews before You buy...

"If you use Lightroom 2, Buy this book.", I have been using lightroom since its release as well as am a big fan of Scott Kelby books. It is simple to read, gives practical examples and is set up so you can use it as a quick reference in addition to learning the ins and outs of Lightroom 2. Buy it, Use it, Love it....

"Scott Kelby does it again!", Once again, Scott Kelby has written a book that totally explains a piece of Adobe software and does it in a way that everyone can understand.

Where a number of Lightroom and/or Photoshop books talk about "theory" and what a program can do, Kelby lays it out in a fashion where he tells you exactly what each slider/button/tab does and what his recommended setting is for that setting.

He also take time towards the end of the book to tell the reader how to achieve some of the effects that are commonly seen in images online and in print. He takes you step-by-step through each process, so that your final image achieves the same effect as what you hoped.

Lastly, he takes you through his entire workflow from start to finish which was very enlightening to a non-professional like myself as I learned many tricks/tips that I have already put to use.

"One of Kelby's better efforts", Cutting to the chase: This is a good introduction to understanding what Adobe Photoshop Lightroom (LR) is and how to use it. It's a worthwhile read for beginners and more experienced photographers alike, even those who have used LR 1.

Here are my reasons: LR is a significant innovation in photography generally and digital photography particularly. Specifically designed for photographers, LR is intended to provide a comprehensive workflow that integrates cataloging, processing, and output functions.

Kelby understands what this means for photographers who have long relied on Photoshop (PS), with its graphic design orientation and tool-based approach (also found in PS Elements). Most photographers learn relatively few tools in PS, reaching for them on an "as needed" basis. Kelby helps photographers understand why LR's workflow approach is more effective. His discussion carefully follows the LR workflow from capture to output, emphasizing how it all fits together. Readers are explicitly warned they will get the most from the book by reading it straight through, rather than jumping around the way one might if reading about tool-based software. This is an important aspect of LR; I think Kelby does a better job with it than other writers.

LR 2 offers some powerful tools, including new ones for nondestructive local adjustments to images. Kelby provides thorough, clear, step-by-step instructions on using these tools. Throughout the book, Kelby takes a straightforward approach to getting things done efficiently and effectively -- this is one of the book's strengths. Kelby shows you how to use LR's features, without losing sight of each feature's place in an overall workflow.

I've been using LR since it was in version 1 beta, have read a number of books on LR, and follow discussions on some related web sites. But I'm definitely not a LR power user. Neither am I a big Kelby fan, though I've read some of his books, including the one on LR 1. This is both one of the better books on LR 2 and one of Kelby's better efforts. He keeps himself more under control and is consequently a better instructor. I can do more with LR 2 now after reading the book than I could before -- which is the bottom line, of course.

"A down-to-earth user guide for LR2", I am on my second reading of this book because it is so full of good instruction that I want to make sure I understand all of the capabilities of the LR2 program. The book is sequenced logically and fully explains how to use the various LR2 features by using tutorals that can be followed along with if you download the images from the website. My only criticism is that the downloaded images do not match all of the tutorial images in the book. Some are missing and some are in different chapters as compared to the downlad. But this is not a serious flaw and one can use their own images as well to follow the tutorials. Also, the book assumes you have CS3 or later versions of Photoshop. I didn't, so I could not follow some of the tutorials. Overall, after seriously reading the book and practicing the tutorials, I can truly say that I have learned how to effectively use this great program. Highly recommended.

"I Love this Book!", I knew I would like this book when I read that you could download sample images and make the same adjustments while you read about them. That should be a requirement for all digital imaging books.

The author is funny, very funny. I have laughed about as much as I have learned from the book and I've learned a lot. This book has given me the knowledge I need to get the most out of LightRoom.
