About the Book

As the name suggests, Adobe Lightroom 5 - The Missing FAQ is primarily designed as an FAQ-style reference book, rather than step-by-step tutorials.

It starts off with a series of Quick Start tutorials designed to help newer users quickly understand the basics and get started, while avoiding the most frequent pitfalls. The book then switches to a conversational question & answer format, going into greater detail for intermediate and advanced users.

 

Who’s the book written for?

Whether you’re a new user who likes to dive straight into new software and figure it out as you go along, a more experienced user wanting to learn how to get the best out of Lightroom, or you’ve just got a burning question you’d like answered, this book is for you. If you like to walk through hundreds of tutorials, it's probably not.

There are questions ranging from simple ones like how to import photos, to much more in-depth details about how the previews are used and how to create your own camera profiles.

These are real-world answers to real questions asked by real Lightroom users. It not only covers how to do things, but also why they work the way they do. Lightroom may have a mind of its own... but now you can learn how it thinks.

 

Color Kindle, B&W Paperback & FREE eBook formats

The Kindle version is in color, as long as you have a color eReader. Only a couple of the screenshots need to be in color to fully illustrate the point - the rest work fine in B&W.

The paperback book is a black & white printed copy of the original PDF eBook, printed and bound for your convenience.

When you register your paperback book with the author, you can download the original color PDF version and 2 other popular eBook formats free of charge, so you can read the book wherever suits you. You’ll also gain Premium access to the Lightroom Queen Members Area, and be able to email the author direct.

Registration details are on page 506, or just before the Keyboard Shortcuts section in the Kindle version.

About this title

About the Author:

Hi, my name's Victoria Bampton, and I'm the author of the 'Adobe Lightroom- The Missing FAQ' series of books. I'm an Adobe Community Professional and Certified Expert, but more importantly, I'm a real user, just like you. You probably recognize my name from one of the many Lightroom or other photographic forums I frequent. I love spending time helping Lightroom users get the best out of the software! In fact, that's where this book started - certain questions come up repeatedly on the forums, and none of the available books seem to answer them - or if they do, you have to read the entire book to find the answer. I wanted to be able to recommend an easy reference book - one that you can pick up and skip straight to the answer you're looking for - but there wasn't one. Instead, I sat down and compiled a list of questions directly from the forums, and wrote jargon-free answers as if I was answering a user on the forums. This is the information you actually want to know, in an easy reference format. It's as simple as that!
