Not every function is described in the rather slim Lightroom manual, so purchasing this reference is certainly worthwhile. Without excessive abstraction, it clearly describes every area of the digital workflow. From importing and post-processing through to exporting images, readers learn in understandable terms what possibilities the software offers. The book is richly illustrated and structured around Lightroom’s modules. Numerous tips and a short workshop round out each chapter.
In one sentence: Much better than the included manual, and thanks to the author’s practical tips, it is not only good software documentation but also a valuable guide to an optimal workflow.
