Product Description
Since Lightroom first launched, Scott Kelby's The Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers has been the world's #1 best-selling Lightroom book. In this latest version for Lightroom 3, Scott uses his same step-by-step, plain-English style and layout to make learning Lightroom easy and fun. Scott doesn't just show you which sliders do what. Instead, by using the following three simple, yet brilliant, techniques that make it just an incredible learning tool, this book shows you how to create your own photography workflow using Lightroom:
1) Scott shares his own personal settings and studio-tested techniques. He trains thousands of Lightroom users at his "Lightroom Live!" tour and knows first hand what really works and what doesn't.
2) The entire book is laid out in a real workflow order with everything step by step, so you can begin using Lightroom like a pro from the start.
3) What really sets this book apart are the last two chapters. This is where Scott dramatically answers his #1 most-asked Lightroom question, which is: "Exactly what order am I supposed to do things in, and where does Photoshop fit in?" Plus, this is the first version of the book that includes his famous "7-Point System for Lightroom," which lets you focus on mastering just the seven most important editing techniques.
The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Book for Digital Photographers is the first and only book to bring the whole process together in such a clear, concise, and visual way.

Just What I Needed September 6, 2010
Shaun L. Krage
This is exactly what I needed to learn Lightroom 3. There are a few books out there on Lightroom 3, but this book is what I was looking for. Since I'm a fairly new beginner in Lightroom, I needed a book to walk me through the basics and get started, but not talk over my head. This book just does that, it explains in each chapter what you going to be doing, with great examples, and speaks in a language you can understand. You also have to admit that this author has a great sense of humor, which makes learning this software a lot of fun!
Step-by-step instructions... September 6, 2010
K. JENNINGS (Central Texas)
Unlike his books for Adobe Photoshop Elements, this book goes step-by-step through Lightroom 3. He stresses that you spend time on the initial setup so that it will work as an organizer for you and will be easy to backup. I like the detailed advice since organization is my main concern now.
 Solid, Thorough, Informative--But Get to the Point! September 5, 2010
StacheCache (Denver)
Author Scott Kelby, an accomplished commercial photographer and renowned PhotoShop expert & lecturer, is extremely well versed in virtually every aspect of Lightroom 3. So this book is a great source of information about how to best use this latest version of Lightroom. But sometimes as I'm trying to find the answer to a question, I want to scream, "Stop with the jokes and entertaining stories Scott, and get to the point"!
Scott's presentation style is friendly, breezy and unique. This helps separate Scott and his book from so many other "how to" manuals. But, there are times I wish he's cut to the chase with an outline or bullet points to explain how to get LR3 to do what you want it to do!
 Cut the jokes- get to the meat September 3, 2010

Although most books by Scott Kelby are well written and extremely informative, I wish he would leave out all the jokes and sick humor found in every book he writes. At a minimum he would cut down on paper use which would be more beneficial to all including the planet we live on.
Lightroom 3, Great book, highly recommended August 30, 2010
Roger C. Jensen (Ohio USA)
"The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Book by Scott Kelby is a very good book for those of us using Lightroom who would like to take better advantage of this product. The step-by-step tutorials are very good and the illustrations are helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone who uses Lightroom. Of course, I also recommend Lightroom as a photo editor and management solution.
