I'm an avid Photoshop user who's only recently switched over to Lightroom for digital photo processing because of many of the built-in tools that makes this much easier. Lightroom 4 is a great continuation of this product line and with all the new adds and tweaks, it's better than ever.

Yves is not quite there yet, but I could see reading some of his other works down the line. In reality, Chrysanthe could have been two or three separate books. There are three distinctive novellas within the book - Christine's childhood, and The Rescue The long road to Chrysanthe / Getting to know Chrysanthe… Read more
