Since Lightroom first launched, Scott Kelby’s The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers has been the world’s #1 best-selling Lightroom book (it has been translated into a dozen different languages), and in this latest version for Lightroom 4, Scott uses his same award-winning, step-by-step, plain-English style and layout to make learning Lightroom easy and fun.

Scott doesn’t just show you which sliders do what (every Lightroom book will do that). Instead, by using the following three simple, yet brilliant, techniques that make it just an incredible learning tool, this book shows you how to create your own photography workflow using Lightroom:

Throughout the book, Scott shares his own personal settings and studio-tested techniques. Each year he trains thousands of Lightroom users at his "Lightroom Live!" tour and through that he’s learned what really works, what doesn’t, and he tells you flat out which techniques work best, which to avoid, and why.
The entire book is laid out in a real workflow order with everything step by step, so you can begin using Lightroom like a pro from the start.
What really sets this book apart is the last chapter. This is where Scott dramatically answers his #1 most-asked Lightroom question, which is: "Exactly what order am I supposed to do things in, and where does Photoshop fit in?" You’ll see Scott’s entire start-to-finish Lightroom 4 workflow and learn how to incorporate it into your own workflow.

Scott knows first-hand the challenges today’s digital photographers are facing, and what they want to learn next to make their workflow faster, easier, and more fun. He has incorporated all of that into this major update for Lightroom 4.

It’s the first and only book to bring the whole process together in such a clear, concise, and visual way. Plus, the book includes a special chapter on integrating Adobe Photoshop seamlessly into your workflow, and you’ll also learn some of Scott’s latest Photoshop portrait retouching techniques and special effects, which take this book to a whole new level. There is no faster, more straight-to-the-point, or more fun way to learn Lightroom than with this groundbreaking book.

This book AND PROGRAM will CHANGE your Photography!

Completely CHANGED my workflow!!
I had NO IDEA I was missing so much in not using this tool!
I simply dismissed Lightroom as a tool for those who did not want to take the time to learn Photoshop, even though the PROS also seemed to love this software. But now that I KNOW what it is intended to do AND how and why the "Pros" use it, I have COMPLETELY CHANGED the way I deal with my Files I shoot and create!
I am TRULY an advocate for this just as much as Photoshop now. In fact, I have GREATLY REDUCED how much I even use Photoshop now! I BREEZE though edit and even PRE-Editing of my shoots, and have even considered re-adding certain types of shoots, which involves capturing MANY images, such as Sports coverage, and small events like Quinceanera's because I can process the shoot in a FRACTION of the time! I am totally amazed by it!
And as usual, Scott's "cut straight to the chase" style of describing the use is pure genius! I still don't think I would be using Lightroom if I did not briefly skim through this book. I will GREATLY increase my income from my photography work due to this book! Seriously! I would have EASILY paid the original price when it was first released, but now that CS6 and CC is out, this is simply a no-brainer!! I have actually ordered 3 more for friends and my Cousin since they would also be using LR4 version. Thank you Scott and thank you AWESOMEBOOKSUSA!

Captain America... shield me from Scott!

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

I wish Captain America would have shielded me from Scott's lame jokes again and again. This book has good info, but it took some work trying to ignore his constant barrage of wisecracks and get to the info one needs.

There are a lot of pictures and Scott works with the user step by step on how to get different things done. The layout of the book is good and it is an easy read. As a hands-on book this is a good one, though I don't think it is exhaustive as it deals in detail with a specific number of how-to items.

I pre-ordered this book and the book came with '#1 BESTSELLING BOOK ON LIGHTROOM' label, which I find hard to believe (unless they are talking pre-order sales). If what they mean is that the author has written earlier bestselling lightroom books, then it should be labelled that way instead of the false claim that this is THE #1 bestselling lightroom book.

If you like constant I-got-ya-and-that's-because-I-am-so-smart-and-funny-that-I-myself-can't-handle-it type of jokes by an Author, you will definitely enjoy his writing style. As for me, I have had enough Scott for one lifetime. Overall I don't regret buying it as it helps me get what I need from Lightroom.

Incredibly helpful -- and a good read!

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2013

As a long-time Photoshop Elements and iPhoto user, I recently purchased Lightroom to do a better job of digital image organization and manipulation. Scott Kelby's book did a fantastic job of walking me through Lightroom in a totally logical sequence (starting with moving photos into Lightroom and setting up the organization, then moving to overall photo adjustments, localized tweaks, integration with Photoshop / PE, printing, making books, and finally overall workflow). I'd read it on my Kindle on the bus to work or on the treadmill, then try the things I'd learned on the computer. His instructions were clear and well illustrated, and did a great job of discussing WHY you'd want to do something and not just HOW to do it. His style is light-hearted, which made the reading enjoyable as well as informative. Now that I have some appreciation for all the incredible things that Lightroom can do, I realize there is no way I could begin to take advantage of its power without this book. The extra cost and time to go through this book has increased the value of the software by several orders of magnitude!

Revision #5

This book is somewhat inconsistent with LR4 if you are a new-be and follow all suggestions. The chapter on 'Develop' teaches about sliders and methods that if you dl his linked slides use LR3 panels. Is it possible it should NOT have given that link to the photos used in the book. For those it seems to use LR3 panels. I wonder about the 5 star reviews. If you read, are new and follow the 'Develop' chapter. say from p158 on, the photos of the sliders, using the recommended photos, do not match what LR4 has. When one tries to sort of do what is being discussed, guessing at the correct slider, you get different results. I really wanted to learn how to avoid PShop and just improve my photos with this. but when using the same pictures Mr Kelby uses, this is extremely confusing. I am trying to use my own pictures. I get the correct sliders, but can't always follow the suggestions. HERE IS WHAT I THINK IS THE ERROR. The file of excellent photos he suggests downloading so you can follow his instructions, were made in LR3 and carry the PNG info of LR3. If you hit the ! next to one of them you can change them all to the new sliders.

I received this book thru pre-order(Amazon). I will go through the writing in a second. The book is a large paperback and the pages are not flat. Almost as if it was wet before they printed it. The font is quite small and hard for me to read easily. If the author left out the jokes, maybe there would have been enough space for a larger font. The pages are rather glossy, making it hard to read through the glare. After so many books you would think the physical parts would be perfect. I am going out to buy a book stand. It helps immensely. but it cost more than the book.

The book so far does include exactly what I ultimately need. But it does not fully account for "never used Adobe before" people . There are places where the first screen is not what I get until I already have named, or selected or know something I don't. It is close though and maybe the extra work I have to do is more learning for me. The jokes aside, the knowledge is there and presented nicely. Mr. Kelby is an excellent educator. This does ultimately get a beginner what s/he needs for cataloging. The jury is out on 'Develop'. It is also written so it will be a great reference after I am done. I have had to use some of the Adobe videos to fully understand.

I do like the fact that you can skip a section without missing a point. I don't do video but there are no pearls in there about something other than videos, so I can skip what I do not do without missing something else. I have tried every competing company's videos, talked to friends, started several online courses with no learning. This is easy and is put together so I understand what others always said was obvious to them.

Wait two months for the next printing, then buy this book.

Excellent foundation that serves well as a reference

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have used Lightroom for a while yet had been mostly self-taught. Although I followed some online training I only covered what I wanted to know. I found the different modes a little confusing and I still think Adobe could do more to build in workflows into the user experience of Lightroom. Highlights and whites sound very similar when you are unfamiliar with these terms and they changed a bit of terminology in the move to Lightroom 4.

I bought this book to learn about features I was unaware of, and also as a handy reference. I don't have any of Scott's other books so went purely on reviews. I particularly liked the emphasis on the photographer with this title, as I am planning on creating some photo books.

My first impression when I flicked through the book was very positive. I love the balance of words and pictures. Also each section has a consistent layout, which I've subsequently noticed in other books by Scott. The top centre is an executive summary of the topic, and then a step-by-step approach supported by lots of pictures. I like that Scott gives his guidance on certain settings and features which are must-know features over those which are a bit of a waste of time. One can waste an immense amount of time to come to that realisation. Also Scott is very workflow oriented, and I believe knowing workflows is as important perhaps more so than knowing the tools properly, particularly if you're a professional.

Scott recommends reading cover to cover. I have been doing so every night since receiving the book. I am not 100% sure this is important though. To an extent his comment is under-stating the value of his own book. The content area and way the book is written does allow you to quickly identify something you need to know about, say correcting white balance, and read just that one section, put the book down and apply what you learned. Each section generally uses unique images, and is not presented in a project style, where the same project is worked on throughout a chapter. There is a little continuity but it's easy to hop into and out of a chapter on demand without feeling you really should have read the whole chapter or even the previous topic. I find this aspect to the book incredibly useful and puts the book near my Mac and not on the bookshelf whilst using Lightroom.

The book is also a good read cover to cover, and I am combining the two. I have had some urgent photo work to do following the recent loss of a family member, to restore some seriously damaged photographs, and bring them to exhibitions standard in a very short space of time. With Scott's book I have managed to achieve this, and the impact has been so well received.

So what is there not to like about the book? Well nothing really. I noticed one reviewer saying Scott comes over as a bit full of his own importance. I absolutely do not get this impression about him. He speaks with the air of authority you would expect from an expert in the field, but he is also humble to the subjectivity of the art. Two things do bother me a little about the way the book is presented. Firstly each topic is presented as a step-by-step guide. So step 1, 2, 3 etc. In most cases this is appropriate as he covers the workflow you need to go through. However sometimes Scott talks about alternative approaches. Sometimes there are many different ways of doing things. These are also presented in a stepped approach. Here is where I would personally have used a different template, and instead of naming each as a step, I would have named them by approach. It's a minor comment and really doesn't detract from the enjoyment of the book, just something that the publisher could have optimised. My other comment is that although they show many images, they are mostly full screen images of the Lightroom screen which is very detailed. When he talks about some of the controls, where you don't need to see full screen, it's very difficult to see what he's pointing to in my copy. There is little use of zoomed view. Where the reader needs to see the controls and the photo they could have zoomed the control and shown the photo as a smaller size or zoomed that too if the detail in the photo is relevant to the thing they are trying to show. He does this well in places like Chapter 10, but there are many examples where I would have wished for more selective cropping of the images.

Overall I am delighted with this book. Lightroom is NOT an intuitive tool and the built-in workflows are not obvious until someone someone like Scott points them out. Scott's lack of association with Adobe means that he is candid and honest about certain features, which someone working for or representing Adobe would not be. This is really important as the reader feels like Scott's apprentice than a customer of Adobe.

There is criticism for Scott not covering certain aspects of photography in enough detail, and I can see that there is space for a lot more learning beyond this book. However I feel that this book covers the essentials and builds a foundation on which most photographers will be able to develop their own knowledge. Scott does cover a good variety of photographic topics and doesn't proclaim this book to be specialist in any one area of photography.

I would recommend looking at the 'look inside' content and judging whether you like Scott's writing style or not, and whether the layout and flow of the book works for you. It has for me and I cannot recommend it high enough.

With Scott Kelby as the author you cannot go wrong

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 7, 2012

Verified Purchase

Scott Kelby is one of the most capable and most often-seen named authors of photographic instructional titles. Sometimes he writes alone, sometimes with others and whatever the subject, you can be certain of one thing - he knows his subject! In addition to the imprint of its publishers, it also includes another for Scott Kelby's company, KelbyTraining, as it is substantially based upon one of Scott's distributed courses. In addition to his many books, some of which are updates from earlier titles due to version updates - as is this, he also is an instructor on the same subjects. He gives live tuition and is to be seen on many CBT CD & DVD courses. I don't know how he find the time to do all that and still photograph.

Lightroom is one of the several software programs that are designed to perform workflow operations on RAW files, and it is the de facto standard for the PC user, that is of use to those who use RAW or RAW with JPG image format options in their camera. RAW is not really a format in the sense that JPG is a format, as all JPG files need to comply with a standard but RAW simply means unformatted and unprocessed and is likely to vary between the different camera manufacturers. If you own a Nikon camera that offers RAW, its files will be quite different from one using a Canon, Pentax or any other. You cannot interchange them or open them in whatever software is provided with your camera unless it is designed to do so, and most are not! Sometimes, the manufacturer of a camera may provide an older version of Lightroom, a modified version of it, or another such as Silkypix that does the same job in a slightly different way.

If a camera of any brand is able to shoot in RAW its manufacturers will supply some software to view and work on those files, but it may be of limited functionality and usually limited to whatever brand of images it was designed for. Lightroom is a broad-range software able to work with files of many different origins so that you can mix Canon images with Nikon, Pentax, Sony etc. It has a wider range of features than most of its competitors and has a reputation which is deserved for its ability to extract the best possible performance out of the files it works with. It can correct imbalances in colour, lighting, exposure, dynamic range and more. But to get the best from it, it needs a standardised regime in order to get the best results and the book includes the concept of a specific recommended workflow. Lightroom is a complex software that needs to be correctly configured and used for best results. You may need a book such as this, and there are or will be many other books that do more or less the same job. This is one of the best available choices. I bought a copy of the immediately previous version on behalf of and for use by a small group of photographers who use it for their co-operative work.

Lightroom 4 includes a number of changes from version 3 and there are a few operational or procedural changes, hence the need for this revision. Much of the text will be that from prior versions as there is no advantage to reinventing the wheel. Changes are made where needed but much is unchanged.

The book includes a number of screen captures, as it always has and it is Kelby's practice whatever the title. In some titles, he uses images from a Mac when most users probably have PCs, but he is far from alone in that practice. It does not usually matter but it does sometimes confuse if the PC and Mac version of something is a little too disparate. Fortunately, you will not have that problem here.

Much of the book is written in a procedural form, starting at Step #1 and progressing forwards from there, chapter by chapter and one subject at a time. Its 15 chapters start from importing images from either the memory card on which are first held, from hard drive are other media into the software's library, and includes local and global corrections through eventually to exporting the images, probably into Photoshop. Its final chapter concerns itself with the author's recommended workflow system.

The book is very well-written, as is expected from this author, is informative and instructive but without being over-complex. He covers the ground very thoroughly and misses nothing. It may not be the largest book on the subject in terms of page numbers but it is hard to anything major that it misses. At the back of the book is an interesting an potentially useful extra, a grey card (not grey scale) that can be used to help with exposure assessment but very much more so for colour balance. If you can get the image's light greys to match in tone with the card, you are likely to exclude any colour imbalances or colour shifts due to mixed lighting or from other causes.

This is a book which you may wish to read through once for an overall view and then again more slowly for a better understanding of the software, one feature or aspect at a time. You cannot go very wrong in buying any book published by New Riders. They may be less established than other imprints but I have yet to find a really poor book that bears their name. You cannot go wrong with anything from Scott Kelby, either. The combination is just about unbeatable.

Super Scott does it again!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2012

I've been using Lightroom ever since it first came out, and have upgraded to every new version. With each new incarnation of Lightroom Scott Kelby produces a new version of the Adobe Lightroom book for Digital Photographers, so of course, I buy each one as it comes out. Why? Because each new version has something the previous one didn't have, and each of Scott's books covers the new and/or improved features. However, there's much, much more to each book than simply a run-down of new features. Scott Kelby is one of those writers who is able to approach familiar subjects and give them a new spin. So although there is a considerable overlap with his previous Lightroom books (after all, it's basically the same program with improvements), he takes a fresh look at every module in Lightroom. I read it from cover to cover as soon as I received it, and realised that I hadn't been getting as much out of Lightroom as I could have done.

As usual, Scott doesn't go into the whys and wherefores of every feature; he sensibly leaves that to authors like Martin Evening, whose Lightroom and Photoshop books are packed full of technical info,which is very useful once you've mastered the basics, but daunting for the beginner and even for more experienced Lightroom/Photoshop users. Instead, Scott's approach is the same in his other books (I don't know how the guy finds time to write all those books and do all the other things he does): he talks to his readers as if he were giving them a lesson in person. He never makes assumptions about his readers' levels of knowledge, but he doesn't talk down to them either. Some readers are put off by his jokey intros to each chapter, but I enjoy them (as Scott says, they are a bit of light relief which enables the reader to clear the brain for the chapter to come) and, after all, if you don't like the intros, don't read them!

If you've used Lightroom before, you can dip into this book wherever you like, but for beginners I'd really recommend starting at the beginning - as I say, I'd used Lightroom for years and still found I learned a lot even from the chapters that cover the initial basics of Lightroom. I'd recommend it to anyone using Lightroom 4, whether beginner, intermediate, or experienced.

Oh, and by the way - Lightroom 4 itself rocks!

Perfect for learning Lightroom

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 17, 2012

I had never used Lightroom before, and having decided to invest in the software I thought I would buy this book in order to learn how to get the best from it. I'm usually someone who just picks things up and plays with them until I've figured it out, so it felt a bit strange learning from a book.

My experience has been very positive - the layout and structure of the book makes it easy to get into and there are lots of simple examples to work through (it's very well illustrated as you would expect). The photos used as examples in the book are available from Kelby's website so you can step through the exact same steps. Personally, I just used my own photos with similar characteristics.

I really like how Kelby gives his own tips as you go through, so rather than being bombarded with theory, he sticks to the salient points and tells you what he, as an expert would recommend. His style is fun and conversational. For example, with the Web module, he points out that it is pretty crappy and that he will not bother trying to explain it in the book because no professionals would use it and Adobe have not improved it for a long time (there are chapters available online for this if needed). Also, you will not come away from reading the book without finding out your porn star name (although if you are already a porn star you probably already know this)

In conclusion, I wasn't sure when I bought this book whether buying something that costs a significant % of the price of the product it is about would be a good idea. However, I am really glad that I did - it's already helped me to get some great results (photography is my hobby, not a money maker) and to organise my collections much better. If you're in the same position of wanting to get to grips with the powerful, complex tool that is Lightroom 4, I really recommend this book.

Great introduction to a powerful package.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

Having recently stepped into the world of Adobe Lightroom I was looking for a book that would provide a bit of background on how to use the package. On the surface, Lightroom seems a pretty lightweight piece of software but with some powerful quick-editing tools.

Looking through the other books here on Amazon, this one immediately jumped out to me. Not just because at the time of ordering it was #1 in the charts for books on Photoshop/Lightroom but simply because of the name Scott Kelby on the cover.

I first became aware of Mr. Kelby though his book "Down & Dirty Tricks With Photoshop 6" which still has a place on my shelf as it demonstrates how to achieve stunning effects in Photoshop very simply. I still use the techniques today.

Kelby has a style of writing that may not be for everyone, he sometimes tries too hard to be humorous, but the upshot is that reading one of his books is like having a favourite uncle explaining how to do it. You cringe at his jokes sometimes, but the lighthearted way in which he explains things means they stick.

The book covers the multitude of ways of working with Lightroom and Kelby uses real-world examples on how to use Lightroom's organisational abilities to your best advantage. Never getting too bogged down in the technical side, but explaining things in a "hey look, this bit is really cool!" way Kelby makes Lightroom a very enjoyable product to work with.

If you're already using Lightroom professionally, or have had experience with earlier versions of the software, this might be a little too basic, but for the first-time user who would like to learn a few things about Lightroom I'd highly recommend this book.
