Description

What's the book about?

Adobe Lightroom, of course!

 

How's the book laid out?

It's a book of questions and answers - questions asked by real Lightroom users on a variety of online forums. You can read it cover-to-cover, or you skip around and use it as a reference book. As a searchable PDF format, you can use the PDF bookmarks or search facility to easily find the answers to your questions.

 

Will the Lightroom 3 update be free?

Yes! Anyone pre-ordering the Lightroom 3 book gets the beta rough cut today, the final Lightroom 3 book when it's released, and any Lightroom 3 book updates too.

 

The story behind the book... and a FREE gift!

Adobe Lightroom 3 - The Missing FAQ was originally intended to be a searchable eBook, however once the book was released to the public, a demand arose for a paperback version too.

Whilst many books have a PDF supplement, this book is the other way round - the colour PDF eBook is designed to be the primary book, and the black & white paperback is the supplement. (See 'Why B&W?')

Anyone purchasing the paperback is invited to contact the author to download the main PDF version worth £14.95 (approx. $24.95 US*) absolutely FREE. Click here for the details

The paperback will be available when Lightroom 3.0 is officially released.

 

Who will want to read this book?

Whether you're a new user who likes to dive straight into new software and figure it out as you go along, a more experienced user wanting to learn how to get the best out of Lightroom, or you've just got a burning question you'd like answered, this book is for you.

There are questions ranging from simple ones like how to import photos, to much more in-depth details about how the previews are used and how to create your own profiles.
