Book Description

It takes talent to be a great photographer, but in the digital era, it also takes a level of technical proficiency. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic was designed as a one-stop solution for photographers to perfect their final products on a desktop-focused workflow, which includes local storage of your photos in files and folders on your computer. Knowing how to efficiently navigate through Lightroom means that you'll be able to concentrate on being creative instead of wondering “what does this button do”.

Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, you will begin with importing photographs into Lightroom. You'll focus on how to sort through, sequence, develop, and export ready files in various formats, or even design a book and create gallery-ready prints. Next, you will learn how to make informed decisions within Lightroom and how to approach your work depending on the set of photographs you are working on. This guide also illustrates real-life usage and workflow examples that are not just for aspiring professionals, but also for artists and amateurs who are still getting to grips with the technical side of photography.

By the end of this book, you'll be confident in importing, editing, sorting, developing, and delivering your photos like a professional.
