Lightroom has seen some impressive additions to its already powerful photo editing features over the years. With it you’re able to manipulate a photo to the extreme, creating monochromatic pictures from full colour images without any loss in quality. You can also sort, rate and add unique metadata to your photos;
then, publish your prepared images to virtually every medium, including perhaps a book project that you want to self-publish. There’s plenty here to sink your teeth into and with the help of this book you can unleash the power of Lightroom and your imagination to create some spectacular photos.

Working with Lightroom
With this manual you will get to know how Lightroom works and what its many features can do to help bring out the most from your photos.

Lightroom Modules
Lightroom comes with seven unique Modules with each containing a specialised set of tools tailored to maximising your workflow and getting the best from your photos. We’ll look at a selection of these Modules and see how they work and how you can make them work for you.
