Book description
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was designed from the ground up with
digital photographers in mind, offering powerful editing features
in a streamlined interface that lets photographers import, sort,
and organize images. This completely updated bestseller was also
written with photographers in mind. Author Martin Evening describes
features in Lightroom 4 in detail from a photographer’s
perspective. As an established commercial and fashion photographer,
Martin knows firsthand what photographers need for an efficient
workflow. He has also been working with Lightroom from the
beginning, monitoring the product’s development and providing
valued feedback to Adobe. As a result, Martin knows the software
inside and out, from image selection to image editing to image
management. In this book you’ll learn how to:
• Work efficiently with images shot in the raw or JPEG
format
• Import photographs with ease and sort them according to
your workflow
• Create and manage a personal image library
• Apply tonal adjustments to multiple images quickly
• Integrate Lightroom with Adobe Photoshop
• Export images for print or Web as digital contact sheets or
personal portfolios
• Make the most of new features in Lightroom 4, such as the
Camera Raw Process 2012 Basic panel tone controls
Photographers will find Lightroom 4–and The Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom 4 Book–indispensable tools in their digital
darkrooms.

pictures!”

also why it will become an essential part of any
photographer’s workflow.”
