i haven't read anyone's books on lightroom. it's not really that hard to figure out, especially coming from photoshop. the camera raw part is basically the same, the organizational parts are fairly obvious, and that is most of the app's functionality. the web, print and slide show modules are handy if needed but not that important in most use cases.Tony CoopernospamnospamEric Stevens
if you need tutorials, so be it. and there are better sources than kelby or marguilis. try bruce fraser, katrin eismann, martin evening or barry haynes.
Which of these would you particularly recommend?
for photoshop, bruce fraser, katrin eismann and martin evening.
i don't have any book recommendations for lightroom, although julianne kost's videos have some good tips.
Not Martin Evening? For LR? That's the one I have.
I quit buying books, though. The books I already own have all the basics, and online tutorials cover the new stuff well enough. A used copy of Evening's book on LR4, which is a fraction of the price of a current book, would be nice to have as a basic reference. Then use online tutorials for the new features. Most of the new books are 90% what was in the old books anyway.i don't buy books anymore either.
most of the info can be found online, although not necessarily in one place and sometimes requiring a little effort in finding exactly what you want.
however, for those who want books, the above authors are my recommendations.
