[(The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC Book for Digital Photographers)] [By (author) Scott Kelby] published on (May, 2015) Paperback – 9 May 2015

Scott Kelby has been around for many a year and is a master of words. Scott is what I would consider one of the best teachers of photography today. I have read many of his books and cover to cover his style keeps me interested with his simple descriptive and colourful step by step guides to using Lightroom. This book is without adoubt a must read book for anyone who is interested in mastering Lightroom CC.

This is yet another book by Kelby that enables the user to find in the index what needs to be achieved and immediately discover how to do it - without having to find earlier pages to make sense of the method. This avoids the frustration of having to start at the first page and wade through much preamble to know how to do simple tasks. As one gains confidence in doing simple tasks the earlier pages become relevant and a firm basis for organising ones images becomes clear. This attribute separates the book from many others and makes it usable from day one by a complete novice.Lightroom is not yet able to do all that is possible in Photoshop. It is however very quick to use when one has acquired the skill to use it. Processing hundreds of images becomes a doddle with only a few needing to be transferred to Photoshop (at the click of a button) for minor adjustments or major to be achieved. Later where an image needs additions, removal or altering the appearance of individual images then Photoshop is the answer. I have been using Lightroom for ten years since its first issue. I have never regretted updating to each successive issue.

This book is about twice as long as it needs to be owing to the excessively verbose style of the author who seems to struggle with getting to the point. Another half of the book I didn't need. Seems to cover the basics OK and helped me with a couple of issues with this tortuous software. Overpriced for a paperback. Worth looking at alternatives.

I have recently bought Adobe Lightroom 6 and I really needed some guidance on getting to grips with this software. After reading the really good reviews on this book I decided to purchase it. The book takes you from the very beginning and and gradually takes you through all the stages on using this software. I can recommend this book to anyone wanting to use Lightroom 6 with some competence. It is easy reading, Onward and upwards you will be after following the very lucid instructions in this book.

Really good , detailed, very detailed, blow by blow account of using lightroom. Opted to return the book and purchase a kindle version to provide more flexability in reading as the actual physical book is a beast to carry.

I purchased this Adobe Lightroom CC Book for Digital Photographers to teach me Lightroom, I had done a lot of research in to which book to purchase and being a complete novice this book by Scott Kelby was highly recommended by other reviewers and on online forums, after just a couple of days of reading and following the book, I think I've made the correct choice, time will tell.

Down loaded the sample to see whether I would actually read the book. I did and ordered/ downloaded the full book. Written in a easy to understand manner that is useful when dealing with technical subjects well worth purchasing

Not a bad book but terrible paper quality for its price. Doubt it will stand much heavy usage.
