Digital Photography Tutorials

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is probably the best software for photographers. When doing a search over the Internet for finding books explaining how to use this software at it’s best, I came out with no less that 7 different books of 7 distinct writers. The previous experience thought me that I should first stop at Scott Kelby’s and Rob Sheppard’s published teachings. In these books I learn how to:
• Use Lightroom to streamline the process of importing, managing, developing, and presenting quantities of images
• Explore nondestructive image processing and color-managed printing
• Work with tone curve, adjust white balance, fine-tune vibrancy and saturation, and easily correct color
• Create your own presets to use again and again based on adjustments you use regularly
• Organize and manage images in the Library and set up a customized system
• Create eye-popping prints, show-stopping sideshows, and Web galleries that showcase your skills
• Make the most of Lightroom’s integration with Photoshop
It’s OK to know all that stuff the Software can do, but Scott Kelby goes behind that: he explains to which kind of photos can an effect by applied.

However, here’s the list of all the books on this matter:
1. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers
