While Adobe Photoshop has long been their choice for editing digital
photographs, many photographers want a more focused tool. That’s where
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom comes in. Designed from the ground up with
digital photographers in mind, Photoshop Lightroom offers powerful
editing features in a streamlined interface that lets photographers
import, sort, and organize images. This completely updated and expanded
bestseller, The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book, was also written with
photographers in mind. Author Martin Evening describes features in
Photoshop Lightroom 2 in detail from a photographer’s perspective. As an
established commercial and fashion photographer, Martin knows first-hand
what photographers need for an efficient workflow. He has also been
working with Lightroom from the beginning, monitoring the product’s
development and providing feedback on the public beta. As a result,
Martin knows the software inside and out, from image selection to image
editing to image management. The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book
contains 624 pages of comprehensive and detailed coverage of all aspects
of Lightroom. In this book you’ll learn how to:

• Work efficiently with images shot in the raw or JPEG format
• Import photographs with ease and sort them according to your workflow
• Create and manage a personal image library
• Apply tonal adjustments to multiple images quickly
• Integrate Photoshop Lightroom with Adobe Photoshop
• Export images for print or Web as digital contact sheets or personal
portfolios The book structure has been organized to match a typical
Lightroom workflow. The introductory chapter provides an overview of all
the main Lightroom features, showing how Lightroom 2 was used on a
studio photo shoot that was specially shot to illustrate the book. The
following chapters cover all the essentials, such as importing photos,
working with the Library module, and managing the catalog database. The
biggest section of the book is devoted to working with the Develop
module and provides some unique insights into working with new features
such as the localized adjustment tools. There is also a whole chapter
devoted to image sharpening and another on integrating Lightroom and
Photoshop, where you will learn how to devise the best workflow methods
for working between these two programs. This is followed by a chapter on
printing and a presentation chapter on the Slideshow and Web modules.
Lastly, there are two appendix chapters. One offers a complete overview
of the Lightroom 2 preference settings, while the other provides some
in-depth explanations and background reading on how the Lightroom
program works. The book is richly illustrated, mostly using the author’s
own photographs, and one of the nice features of this book is the way
enlarged panel views are used throughout, making it easier for readers
to follow the settings used in the various step-by-step examples. There
are also lots of tips that will help you take your Lightroom techniques
to an advanced level. If you are looking for the most comprehensive
coverage of Lightroom, written by an author who is closely involved with
the development of the program, this is the book to get. About the
