Since Lightroom first launched 18 years ago, Scott Kelby’s The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book has been the world’s #1 top-selling Lightroom book (it has been translated into dozens of different languages), and this latest version is a huge update where Scott shares all his newest techniques, insights, and invaluable tips using his award-winning, plain-English style that makes learning Lightroom easy and fun.

Scott doesn’t just show you which sliders do what (every Lightroom book does that, right?). Instead, he shares his own personal settings, his time-tested techniques, and his proven step-by-step method of learning Lightroom, so you can begin using it like a pro from the start. Each year, he trains thousands of Lightroom users at his live seminars, online conferences, and through his blog at LightroomKillerTips.com, and he has learned firsthand what really works and what doesn’t. He tells you flat-out which techniques work best, which ones to avoid, and why.

You’ll learn:

His SLIM (Simplified Lightroom Image Management) system, which is taught at colleges and universities around the world because it’s so simple and straightforward, as it teaches you step by step how to organize your images, back them up, and be able to find them quickly and easily. How to make your images look like the pros, remove distracting things that are ruining otherwise great photos, and finally “get” the whole image editing thing. You’ll learn exactly what to do, in which order, and why. How to unlock the incredible power of Lightroom’s Masking tools (these are real game changers), including how to “paint with light” and Scott’s top masking tips to take your images to another level. How to use Lightroom along with Photoshop, and how to make the two work together absolutely seamlessly. You’ll be surprised at what you’ll be able to do, even if you’ve never used Photoshop before. How to expand Lightroom’s power to your phone or tablet, so you can organize and edit your images from anywhere.  How to share your images in print and in gorgeous coffee table books, or online, including how to do online client proofing or share images with a group.

You can download many of the same images in the book, so you can follow right along, and you'll get a killer collection of custom Lightroom Develop and Print presets to give you some of the most sought-after looks and effects, all with just one click.

This is the first and only book to bring the whole process together in such a clear, concise, and visual way. There is no faster, more straight-to-the-point, or more fun way to learn Lightroom.

That's why editions of this book are widely used as the official study guide in photography courses at colleges and universities around the world.

The photographer's workflow in Photoshop has evolved greatly over time and, in the latest edition of this book, you'll learn how to leverage Photoshop's new AI-powered masking features and how to spend less time on boring production tasks, so you can spend more time being creative. Plus, you'll learn:

The most useful retouching techniques for photographers, such as how to make “impossible” selections, like wind-blown hair (it's easy, once you know the secrets), and how to use layers like a pro. The sharpening techniques the pros really use. The pros' tricks for fixing the most common photo problems fast! How to seamlessly remove distracting things from your images. How to make the most of Camera Raw and when to work it into your workflow, even if you never shoot in RAW—it works great on JPEGs and TIFFs, too. The latest Photoshop special effects for photographers (there's a whole chapter just on these!). A host of shortcuts, workarounds, and slick “insider” tricks to help you get twice the work done in half the time.

You also get four online bonus chapters with even more content, along with the images used in the book, for download, so you can follow right along. If you're ready to learn all the “tricks of the trade”—the same ones that today's leading pros use to correct, edit, retouch, and sharpen their work—then you're holding the book that will do just that.
