| This beautifully illustrated and eminently practical book
offers a complete tour of Lightroom 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 Tasmania,
award-winning photographer Mikkel Aaland explains how
Lightroom can improve the way you work.
After watching -- and often helping -- Adobe create
Lightroom entirely from the ground up, Aaland (author of
Photoshop CS3 RAW) decided to try it out in the field. He
organized a group of top-notch photographers for a trek to
Tasmania, the exotic island south of mainland Australia,
where the only studio was Lightroom on a laptop. In
Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure, Aaland uses hands-on
knowledge from the trip to demonstrate how Lightroom 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 exotic wilds of
Tasmania, 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.
