Lightroom Classic Made Easy
Lightroom Classic Made Easy is the newest edition of the Lightroom software. It includes the new Lens Blur and Color Mixer panels as well as all the other procedures and techniques available in the Lightroom Classic software. Covering all seven modules, it is the most complete discussion of this versatile software. The book is written to sit at the computer with the photographer and guide them through the different procedures using screen shot to show where they should be and bullet points to take them step by step through each task available in Lightroom. Learn how to organize images during the import process as well as how Lightroom Classic has made it easy to quickly reorganize the Catalog. In the Develop Module, learn how to recover all the lost detail in burned out highlights and lost detail in the shadows. The output modules will show how to create a photo book that can be uploaded to a publisher's website and printed. In the Slideshow Module a slideshow can be created, have music added to it and then exported as a video that can be emailed to friends, family or clients. These are just some of the features available in the new Lightroom Classic, version 13. www.amazon.com

Lightroom Classic Made Easy, version 12
Lightroom® Classic Made Easy version 12 is now available on Amazon.com. It is the most complete, detailed Lightroom book available. Every panel of all seven Lightroom® modules are discussed along with a suggested workflow for each module. It not only contains the simple neat Lightroom® tricks I’ve been posting on YouTube®, but goes far beyond the usual basics of using Lightroom®. Included in this version is the new Content Aware Erase tool in the Healing tool, but also the Masking panel with some new AI choices added to it along with some new features such as the ability to select objects. It is written as a “how to” book made to sit by the computer with the photographer and guide them step by step through all the procedures and techniques in Lightroom® Classic version 12, using screen shots and bullet points. As the name implies, I’ve tried to make it easy and have paid particular attention to the complaints I’ve often heard about Lightroom®. That means I’ve spent a lot of time on importing, organizing and finding images in the Library module and also on how to reorganize and reorganize the catalog. The Develop module has many suggestions for bringing out the best a RAW image has to offer and includes some detailed procedures and techniques never before published in a Lightroom® book or video tutorial. I hope it will make your Lightroom® use easier and more fun.
The book is now available in a hard copy and will soon be available in a Kindle version on Amazon.com.
