Summary: Adobe? Really?
Comment: First the good, this book is very concise and to the point. I use the index to locate what I'm looking for and viola', a nice description that's to the point without a load of fill and fluff. I like this very much.
The bad: Ahhh... Black and white photos, are you kidding? When I buy a book with the Adobe trade mark on it I expect high quality "color" screen shots and photos, not Black and White. I didn't research this enough to know it was B&W, that's my fault.
I would have given this 2.5 stars if it were possible, the writing/instruction is good, the image design really needs to be reworked with sharper color images.

Summary: Reproduction is lousy
Comment: I know this book bears the Adobe logo on the cover, but the reproduction is lousy and the pictures of menus, etc. are very small.
Pretty dumb for a photography book.
Disappointing for an Adobe sanctioned product.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Lightroom crash course - Awesome!
Comment: I got my copy a couple of weeks ago and have enjoyed working through from cover to cover.
The book is easy to read and has really gotten me up to speed in Lightroom 2 a heck of a lot faster than I expected!
I am familiar with Chris Orwig's Lynda.com video training materials and was curious to see if he could communicate in print with the same passion as he does in video.
Not only is the passion there but it is presented clearly and succinctly.
Totally worth the $$.
Customer Rating:
