18:00:45 Adobe Press Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book, The Complete Guide for Photographers (2012)

Adobe Press Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book, The Complete Guide for Photographers (2012) Size : 54 Mb Author : Martin Evening PDF Format Pages : 681 Introduction from book Work on the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom program began toward the end of 2003 when a small group of Adobe people, headed by Mark Hamburg, met up at photographer Jeff Schewe’s studio in Chicago to discuss a new approach to raw image editing and image management. What would it take to meet the specific needs of those photographers who were now starting to shoot digitally? More specifically, what would be the best way to help photographers manage their ever-growing libraries of images? It was shortly after this that I was invited to join an early group of alpha testers and help work out what sort of program Lightroom (or Shadowland, as it was known then) should become. As we began to discuss our different digital photography workflows, it became increasingly obvious why we needed a better way to manage and process our digital photos. Lightroom underwent some pretty major changes in those early stages as the team tried out different workflow ideas, until eventually we ended up with the Lightroom program you see now. The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book represents the culmination of over eight years’ work in which I have worked actively with the Lightroom team. Basically, this book is intended to be the ultimate reference guide to Lightroom and designed to help you get the maximum benefit out of the program. In writing this book, I have had in mind both amateur and professional photographers and have aimed to provide what I believe is the most detailed book ever on this subject. At the same time, I have wanted to make sure that equal space was given to explaining some of the fundamental aspects of digital imaging, such as white balance and exposure. The feedback I have had for previous editions of this book has been encouraging. It seems that the newbies to Lightroom have found it easy to access and understand all the basics, while the advanced professional users have appreciated all the background detail that’s provided. I have to confess that when I first started work on this project, I never imagined the book would end up being over 700 pages in length. Mark Hamburg recently joked that he must have failed in his mission to make Lightroom "unreasonably simple,” if you needed a book as thick as mine in order to understand it! So many changes have taken place since Lightroom 1.0 was released. As a result, not only has the book ended up being a lot bigger, but also I have had to rewrite almost everything that was in the original edition. Once again, a number of major new features needed to be discussed, and technological changes in hardware and operating systems had to be taken into account. As always, I suggest you approach the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book by reading it in chapter order, starting with Chapter 1: Introducing Photoshop Lightroom, which shows how one might typically bring photos into Lightroom and process them from start to finish. This should provide you with a good overview of what Lightroom can do. http://www.filefactory.com/file/6ifa81d8c40l/
