From the day I first tried Lightroom I quickly became an evangelist. Though still having room for improvement, Lightroom is hands down the best photo workflow management & adjustment software I have used. As a photographer I am continually asked what software I recommend, but with that I am also asked to teach how to use it.
Now I have found the book I recommend to others looking to dive into a serious application for their photo management and development. Along with the fun storyline accompanied with amazing photos from a land most of us will never see, the book is informative and easy to follow.
Though some assumption is made as to general knowledge with working a computer and dealing the importance of developing photos, even a beginner to digital photography can make their way through the instructions and visuals. If I were pressed to pick an intended audience it would be the amateur photo enthusiast who is looking to graduate from Picasa or iPhoto. The semi- or beginning pro would also find great value in this book as a wonderful introduction to the software that is to become their primary interface post photo shoot.
Though I would have enjoyed even more tips and tricks along with situational secret recipes, I recognize the need for the overview aspect of the majority of the book.
As Lightroom is really manual-less other that a spartan help section, this truly is the missing manual everyone first timer should read.
