 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classroom in a Book November 15, 2008
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
Like all the books in the Classroom in a Book series, this is a very good option for people who do not have a lot of experience with Lightroom. This book is divided into 10 lessons organized by each of the processes through which passes a picture in a digital workflow that requires a photographer; this type of organization allows people who have some experience with the program can select the lessons want to focus on which to improve their skills.
Thanks to the CD that comes with the book, learning Lightroom becomes a 100% practical process because each lesson has its own set of images that correspond to those which have been used in the explanation of the book.
The explanation method is based on modular steps to ensure easy follow of the exercises and easily identify if we made any mistakes. In addition, to the end of each lesson will find questions with answers that help us to identify doubts that could be requiring a review of the lesson.
After reading this book you will have the sensation of having an instructor at her side. It's difficult to find a Lightroom book easier to read and understand that this.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classroom in a Book is definitely the guide recommended for people who are just beginning to learn the program or for those who know him independently but want to lay the foundations for their knowledge. When you finish reading this book will be ready to follow other more advanced books which you can understand without any problem.

Como todos los libros de la serie Classroom in a Book, se trata de una muy buena opcion para personas que no tengan mayor experiencia con Lightroom. Este libro esta dividido en 10 lecciones organizadas por cada uno de los procesos por los cuales pasa una imagen en un flujo de trabajo digital que requiere un fotografo; este tipo de organizacion permite que las personas que tengan alguna experiencia con el programa puedan definir las lecciones en las cuales quieren enfocarse para mejorar sus habilidades.
Gracias al CD que viene con el libro, el aprendizaje de Lightroom se convierte en un proceso 100% practico pues cada leccion tiene su propio conjunto de imagenes que corresponden a las mismas que han sido usadas en las explicaciones del libro.
El método de explicacion es basado en pasos modulares que aseguran poder seguir con facilidad los ejercicios e identificar sin problema si hemos cometido algún error. Ademas al final de cada leccion encontraremos preguntas de repaso con sus respectivas respuestas las cuales nos ayudan a identificar dudas que han podido quedar y que requieran un repaso de la leccion.
Después de leer este libro usted tendra la sensacion de haber tenido un instructor a su lado. Dificilmente encontrara un libro de Lightroom mas facil de leer y entender que este.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classroom in a Book es definitivamente la guia recomendada para personas que apenas empiezan a conocer el programa o para quienes aprendieron a conocerlo de manera autonoma pero desean fundamentar su conocimiento. Cuando usted termine de leer este libro estara listo para seguir con otros libros mas avanzados los cuales entendera sin problema.

"Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Classroom in a Book" is Adobe's "official" training for Lightroom 2. That doesn't make it necessarily better or more enjoyable a course presentation, but it does give you some assurance that the contents are accurate. Actually, I'm not entirely sure whether Adobe publishes this book, or PeachPit publishes it using Adobe's imprimatur (I think the latter). In any event, you can get a feel for the writing and the instructional flow from the samples on PeachPit's web site for this title (look on the "extras" tab), which is helpful as Amazon doesn't have a "Look Inside" for this title.
The contents of the book include:
Getting Started
1. A Quick Tour of Photoshop Lightroom
2. Introducing the Workspace
3. Importing
4. Reviewing
5. Organizing and Selecting
6. Developing and Editing
7. Creating Slideshows
8. Printing Images
9. Publishing your Photos on the Web
10. Creating Backups and Exporting Photos
Index
Personally, I think the material is a little dry, though I wouldn't over-emphasize that. You can contrast that against some of the comments concerning Scott Kelby's Lightroom book and his sense of humor. ... And then make your choice - or buy both! There's no doubt that Kelby's books are highly regarded! Kelby's book may be found here: The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)
What the Adobe book does very effectively is walk you completely through the software in a highly structured way, in essence teaching you not just the software, but workflow too. Amazon's price for this title is excellent.
