Customer Review
Superb reference for photographers and teachers
As a workshop teacher, I'm always on the lookout for a good reference for students to use once they've gone back home. This slim and remarkably complete volume fills the bill perfectly both for experienced photographers making the transition to digital work and for those who are stepping up from a point-and-shoot camera and want to control and improve their work from start to finish. As a long-time but not totally converted Lightroom user, this book also led me to explore additional ways LR2 could help me with my own workflow.The central concept of a workflow, which puts tasks in a particular order is especially useful. This is the way to achieve consistent results in adjusting images. A workflow also serves as a framework for organizing and adding to knowledge and skills, and this way of working is immensely more useful to most photographers than the "1001 tips and tricks - gee whiz, see everything this software can do" approach. Courvoisier has been thoughtfully...

Best Lightroom to Photoshop workflow
Jerry Courvoisier's Lessons in DSLR Workflow with Lightroom and Photoshop is the state-of-the-art general photography workflow. The thing that impresses me most is that he got it all into such a small space. The workflow is covered by the chapter headings and each tool in the process is explained thoroughly. Only a truly experienced photographer can write such a book because he intentionally leaves out much of Lightroom and Photoshop that many would say makes the book incomplete. However, the secret of the great workflow in this book is its simplicity and ability to do everything that is needed in the shortest amount of time to produce excellent quality. He accomplishes this better than any other book on general photographic workflow than I've read. A beginning digital photographer can read this book and be up and running with all the tools they need quickly and efficiently.One of the most important aspects of the book shows us the unique transition from Lightroom to...

About Process
Workflow, for digital photography, is the sequence of tasks from preparing one's camera, through capturing, downloading, processing, outputting, cataloging and archiving images. Workflow is concerned with an effective sequence of steps rather then the techniques, like moving sliders for particular effects.Like most photography books, this book starts with a description of the equipment involved in the process, including cameras and computers. The second part deals with the workflow through Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 ("LR2"). The third part looks with more particularity at the Develop module of LR2 and the fourth part with the integration of LR2 and Photoshop. In all cases, the book deals with the second iteration of Lightroom, including the new tools found in LR2.The author writes clearly and the illustrations are good, although as usual for most books, the screen saves are a little small for those with poor eyesight. Using the book to review my own LR2...
