Photoshop Lightroom Adventure Mastering Adobe's next-generation tool for digital photographers
Author: Mikkel Aaland

Adobe created Photoshop Lightroom to be the first truly integrated digital photography workflow application, allowing serious photographers to import, select, develop and showcase large volumes of digital images. The idea is that photographers can spend less time in front of a computer, and more time actually shooting images. So how does the app... more »lication perform in demanding situations, say, on a rare photo excursion to Iceland where the only studio is your laptop? Mikkel Aaland, award-winning photographer and bestselling author of Photoshop CS2 RAW, decided to take the beta version of Lightroom on a genuine road test. He organized a group of 12 top-notch photographers for a trek to "Nature's Light Room", the pristine Icelandic landscape where each summer day is bathed in 22 hours of horizontal light. Using detailed case studies from the trip, Aaland wrote this beautifully illustrated and eminently practical introduction to Lightroom. With this book, you'll join the adventure and discover how Adobe's new tool can improve the way you work. After watching -- and often helping -- Adobe create Lightroom entirely from the ground up, Aaland was ready to see how well it would do. In Iceland, he and his colleagues gathered in workrooms at the end of each day to process their latest images with Lightroom, and discussed ideas and concerns with five Adobe technicians who attended. In Photoshop Lightroom Adventure, Aaland turns that hands-on knowledge into a complete guided tour of the application, walking you step-by-step through Lightroom's:

Library module for uploading, sorting, tagging, ranking and adding keywords to your images
Develop module with Adobe Camera RAW for complete non-destructive color and tonal adjustments
Slideshow module, where you select and size images, and export the show to HTML, Flash, or PDF formats
Print module, which includes several templates for printing contact sheets or full images
Web module, where you can create Flash or HTML web galleries

You'll learn how Lightroom works equally well with TIFF, JPEG and DNG files, and how it integrates easily with Photoshop and Photoshop Elements for more extensive editing. To date, more than 600,000 people have downloaded the beta versions of the application. With many gorgeous examples shot in the soft natural light of Iceland, this book lets you see the results for yourself. Mikkel Aaland's trademark ability to teach complicated topics on digital imaging with straightforward, easy-to-follow text makes this book a valuable learning tool for anyone serious about creating the best possible image with Lightroom.
