Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure content

Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure is arranged into 12 chapters, first detailing LR2’s Workspace and importing process followed by a guide to its various Modules. These are followed by sections dedicated to numerous ‘Developing’ techniques including tuning colour or applying special effects. After this comes a chapter showcasing ‘recipes’ used on-location in Iceland and Tasmania, before the book then concludes with sections on exporting, slideshows, printing and web galleries. We’ll now take a closer look at each chapter in turn.

The ‘Lightroom Workspace revealed’ chapter gives you general overview of LR2’s modules and a guide to the user interface. As LR2 is pretty flexible you learn how to adapt the interface to your needs and the available “real estate” on your screen. This is an essential kick-off where you learn how to handle the new application.

The chapter entitled ‘Importing Images into Lightroom’ is not only about the obvious but also explains the context between images, previews and other information stored in LR2’s vast database. This is very important to understand as it is considerably different from most other image-processing applications. It also explains how to import direct from a camera or any other folder, how to rename files on import, along with using metadata presets to make it easier to tag your images in batches and not just individually photo by photo.
