The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book for Digital Photographers : Scott Kelby :
The center portions contains pictures to show what is being explained in the steps. The steps are rather long paragraphs with a lot of verbiage much of which is not helpful. Within these paragraph steps it is difficult to find precise information. Occasionally there is highlighted info but usually not. In addition the 'helpful' pictures are small. Seeing details from them is very difficult.

Aug 05, Gary rated it it was amazing. This book was very helpful except for the first two chapters on importing and organization.
I had learned about importing and organization from other sources and tutorials. Having images provided to follow along with the book taught me a lot about workflow and gave me the opportunity to improvise on the lessons, which helped me understand more about the various sliders. I continue to use the book as a reference for the latest version of Lightroom Classic CC.

Oct 16, B. Extremely helpful and easy to follow, with a wonderful narration that kept you engaged and laughing the whole time. Great textbook that made me actually look forward to class assigned reading. Mar 30, Bobby rated it liked it Shelves: It's not so helpful as a reference to look up specific things, and the index is not much better as in, what does this or that particular checkbox option do in LR? In other words, Kelby teaches you the basics in a chatty style, but is not exhaustive in explaining every tool and option you're presented with in the software.

This is a large book that could have been greatly shortened by better grap This book WILL give you a basic understanding of Lightroom CC if you read it from beginning to end. This is a large book that could have been greatly shortened by better graphic design. Less white space and larger screenshots seriously, why are they so tiny?
I could barely read them , and less self-indulgent stand up comedy at the beginning of every chapter. Random tips are thrown into a couple of pages at the end of each chapter with little sense of organization or context. So I'm not saying avoid this book, but it's perhaps better checked out from the library rather than purchased to keep on the shelf.
