Best book Of two I've used,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I've used two tutorial books for Lightroom 3 - this one and the one by Scott Kelby. I find the classroom in a book much easier to use in that it's clearer and far more concise in content and presentation. Kelby's book is full of bad humor that I find rather charming but he bounces all over the place with alternative ways of doing things. He'll explain a process then then jump into several other ways of doing it that I find very confusing. Classroom in a book sticks to the fundamentals and doesn't go into 'oh by the way, here are four other ways of doing this'. My goal is to work on my pictures not become a geek of all things Lightroom. That said there are times when I've referred to Kelby's book when Classroom presents a process that appears cumbersome (rarely happens) to find a different avenue.In a nutshell Classroom in a Book is clear, concise, easy to follow and has good examples of how everything works laid out in a logical working process. I'm glad I bought it.

A great way to learn Lightroom 3, By Rick "RC PhotoGraphix" (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
First off, Adobe Lightroom 3 is an extremely powerful digital photo tool and learning to use it to it's full potential is a good investment of your time considering that this program (like most Adobe products) isn't just a minor investment. This course has been written by the Adobe experts and written in a way that is very easy to follow and understand.The layout and procedure used in Classroom in a Book is a very systematic approach to learning this (or any Adobe product) program. The approach is really pretty simple using a hands on practice type of learning method starting with the very basics and progressing from there. I will admit that some of the lessons seem really basic and like they should really be common sense, especially if you have some previous experience with Adobe programs. However, when they developed this course they had to work from the assumption that whoever is using it doesn't know anything about their program(s). To have used any other assumption... Read more

This review is from: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
As for self paced, self educate books, in my opinion this is an A+. The 2 biggest things that set it apart: the publication is written by the Adobe team who wrote the software, they have kept the photographer/artist and their workflow or artistry in mind throughout the book, additionally, and really foremost, the CD-ROM included is essential. It gives you real and great, but not overwhelming photos to work with in every lesson that let you experiment and play. My point is that it is not a rigid lesson plan, it is quite flexible and really nudges you into learning the finer points of the software with real situations. Photography in its very core is creative and the Adobe products have become an industry standard in unleashing one's creativity and this "Classroom in a Book" is a fine example of their commitment to that. I highly recommend it to anyone new to the Lightroom product.
