Summary: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classroom in a Book
Comment: Como todos los libros de la serie Classroom in a Book, se trata de una muy buena opción para personas que no tengan mayor experiencia con Lightroom. Este libro está dividido en 10 lecciones organizadas por cada uno de los procesos por los cuales pasa una imagen en un flujo de trabajo digital que requiere un fotógrafo; este tipo de organización permite que las personas que tengan alguna experiencia con el programa puedan definir las lecciones en las cuales quieren enfocarse para mejorar sus habilidades.

Gracias al CD que viene con el libro, el aprendizaje de Lightroom se convierte en un proceso 100% práctico pues cada lección tiene su propio conjunto de imágenes que corresponden a las mismas que han sido usadas en las explicaciones del libro.

El método de explicación es basado en pasos modulares que aseguran poder seguir con facilidad los ejercicios e identificar sin problema si hemos cometido algún error. Además al final de cada lección encontraremos preguntas de repaso con sus respectivas respuestas las cuales nos ayudan a identificar dudas que han podido quedar y que requieran un repaso de la lección.

Después de leer este libro usted tendrá la sensación de haber tenido un instructor a su lado. Dificilmente encontrará un libro de Lightroom más facil de leer y entender que este.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classroom in a Book es definitivamente la guía recomendada para personas que apenas empiezan a conocer el programa o para quienes aprendieron a conocerlo de manera autónoma pero desean fundamentar su conocimiento. Cuando usted termine de leer este libro estará listo para seguir con otros libros más avanzados los cuales entenderá sin problema.

Summary: Structured Walkthrough of the Software
Comment: "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Classroom in a Book" is Adobe's "official" training for Lightroom 2. That doesn't make it necessarily better or more enjoyable a course presentation, but it does give you some assurance that the contents are accurate. Actually, I'm not entirely sure whether Adobe publishes this book, or PeachPit publishes it using Adobe's imprimatur (I think the latter). In any event, you can get a feel for the writing and the instructional flow from the samples on PeachPit's web site for this title (look on the "extras" tab), which is helpful as Amazon doesn't have a "Look Inside" for this title.

The contents of the book include:

Getting Started
1. A Quick Tour of Photoshop Lightroom
2. Introducing the Workspace
3. Importing
4. Reviewing
5. Organizing and Selecting
6. Developing and Editing
7. Creating Slideshows
8. Printing Images
9. Publishing your Photos on the Web
10. Creating Backups and Exporting Photos
Index

Personally, I think the material is a little dry, though I wouldn't over-emphasize that. You can contrast that against some of the comments concerning Scott Kelby's Lightroom book and his sense of humor. ... And then make your choice - or buy both! There's no doubt that Kelby's books are highly regarded! Kelby's book may be found here: The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)

What the Adobe book does very effectively is walk you completely through the software in a highly structured way, in essence teaching you not just the software, but workflow too. Amazon's price for this title is excellent.
