Don’t worry, Adobe Lightroom 4 – The Missing FAQ is a work in progress, and it’s coming together nicely. You’ll see it soon!
I’m undecided whether to release a rough cut this time, or focus on making sure the final release is completed and ready for release at the same time as Lightroom 4. Probably the latter, this time, for a number of reasons:
- Unlike the Lightroom 3 beta, which was an 8 month, 2 version, early feature preview, the Lightroom 4 beta is expected to be of normal length.
- Releasing a rough cut takes a lot of extra time, and resulted in the final release of the LR3 book running late in 2010. I want to make sure you’re not kept waiting this time.
- Writing about a beta version is like writing about a moving target. As you finish a section, you discover it was a bug!
- Plus – you haven’t asked the questions yet! My current draft is based on questions I’m expecting will be asked, and questions that have been asked before release, but I want YOUR input. It’s your book. I’ll be hanging out on the forums, so I’ll look forward to your comments.
Anyway, if you’d like to be notified as soon as the book’s available, feel free to join the mailing list using the form below, and you’ll be the first to know.
Now, back to the beta!

For those of us who bought the LR3 book, will there be an update or do we have to buy the book again?
For those of us who bought the LR3 book, will there be an update or do we have to buy the book again?
It will be a new book, because months of work goes into writing each major upgrade, but there will be an upgrade discount for anyone who bought a previous book. That was one of the main reasons I wanted to self-publish it, because big publishers wouldn’t let me do that. 😉
Keep an eye on your inbox around LR4’s final release date, and if you haven’t received an email within a day or two of the release, it may have been caught in spam so send me an email so I can send you your discount code.
