Présentation de l'éditeur (http://www.eyrolles.com/)

Lightroom a marqué un véritable tournant dans le monde de la photographie numérique. En à peine un an, le logiciel d'Adobe s'est imposé de manière indiscutable sur le marché international en offrant à tous les photographes d'installer un véritable "laboratoire photo" sur leur ordinateur de travail (importation des images, développement des fichiers, retouches, catalogage...).

La version 2.0 de Lightroom est sortie fin juillet 2008. Ce manuel, écrit par un des spécialistes français du logiciel (et initialement sorti sous forme d'e-book - http://www.izibook.eyrolles.com/), se propose de vous dévoiler toutes les modifications et les nouvelles fonctionnalités apportées par Adobe à cette version 2, pour que vous puissiez découvrir au plus vite tous les nouveaux outils de Lightroom et optimiser ainsi votre flux de production photographique.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers

SCOTT KELBY

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers

New Riders Press, September 2008, 448 pages, $45

Written in concert with Adobe's development of the Photoshop Lightroom 2 Beta, The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers is a complete and concise Lightroom "how-to" book for digital photographers of all skill levels.

In The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers, Scott Kelby walks readers through the basics of Lightroom use, leading them to a brilliantly devised and super efficient digital photography workflow that dramatically improves productivity and allows photographers to spend less time processing photos and more time shooting them.

Throughout the book the author shares his personal camera and Lightroom settings, as well as the studio-tested techniques he's developed for his own photography workflow. Because Scott Kelby knows what really works and what doesn't, he isn't shy to tell you flat out which tools to use, which to avoid, and why. This allows digital photographers of any skill level to jump right in using Lightroom like a pro from the very start, sidestepping a lot of the frustrations that typically haunt those unfamiliar with new applications…especially those as powerful as Lightroom.

What really sets this book apart from other Lightroom books on the market are the last two bonus chapters where Scott answers the questions, "In exactly what order am I supposed to do things in Lightoom," and "Where does Photoshop fit in to the mix?" Both chapters start with an on-location photo shoot, including full details on the equipment, camera settings, and lighting techniques. Readers then witness as he takes the photos from each shoot through the entire workflow process, to the final output of the 16"x20" prints. And, because he incorporates Photoshop seamlessly right into this workflow, you'll learn some of the latest Photoshop techniques for portrait and landscape photography as well.
