This recommendation that I bring you today is a guide designed for both the amateur and professional user. It is written in a clear and simple language, and all the steps and explanations are very detailed. It is accompanied by photos, tricks, comparatives, notes, screenshots with arrows and markers so you can follow the explanation much better. It is noted that the author dominates this program perfectly. It offers advice from experience, both in the management of the program and at the photographer level. For example when saving and classifying your images. Errors he made and how he advises you to work based on what he has learned along the way. You will find add-ons to download and the original images that appear in the book. A good way to practice while reading.WORST
(If it can be said that it is a bad thing) it is such an extensive book that you cannot read it at once. Although the author recommends starting from the beginning and reading until the end in order, it is not a task that you can do in a short time, unless you dedicate all the hours of your day. It is rather a text to devote time to, take it easy. Open it in front of the computer with your Lightroom program running and go following the advice and applying the explanations. This is the only way to learn and the only way to take advantage of it. As you may have guessed, it is not a book to carry around, it weighs too much and it would be impractical to read it without having the program in front. It is not a novel to read lying on the shore of the beach;). But I don't think this is a bad thing, everything has its moment and its function. Only you have to take it into account. Yes, it is true that I have found some notable edition failure, although it does not affect the content and information of the book at all. It is rather professional deformation;). But with what it is worth ... (this point is negative). Another point is the speed with which these books become obsolete. In the time it takes to write and edit a book like this, the program keeps moving forward and adding new options and when you read it there are already changes. But this happens with this and with any other guide of a constantly growing tool.OTHER PUBLICATIONS
