| This beautifully illustrated and eminently practical book is
the first to offer a complete tour of Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom 1.2, the integrated digital photography workflow
application that allows serious photographers to import,
select, develop and showcase large volumes of digital
images. Augmented by photos and case studies from a
demanding road test in Iceland, award-winning photographer
Mikkel Aaland explains how Lightroom 1.2 can improve the way
you work.
After watching -- and often helping -- Adobe create
Lightroom entirely from the ground up, Aaland (author of
Photoshop CS2 RAW) was ready to see how well it would do in
the field. 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 -- and where the only studio
was Lightroom on a laptop. In Photoshop Lightroom Adventure,
Aaland uses hands-on knowledge from the trip to demonstrate
how Lightroom 1.2 can help you create the best possible
image under any conditions.
This unique tutorial walks 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
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 digital photography. This is not an
update of previous Lightroom versions, but the first book
that's completely up-to-date for Lightroom 1.2.
