I have been using Lightroom for about 3 months and thought I knew the product fairly well until I started watching Chris Orwig’s Training DVD from Lynda.com.

Instructor and professional photographer Chris Orwig explains how browsing, organizing, and adjusting images in Photoshop Lightroom dynamically improves photo management, processing, and presentation. The training teaches photographers how to establish a more effective and creative workflow so they can focus on what it’s all about — the photo. Tutorials are accompanied by exercise files (full resolution raw files).

Scott Kelby, author of the world’s #1 bestselling Photoshop book, The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, brings his same award-winning, step-by-step, plain-English style, look and feel to The Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers.

As editor-in-chief of Photoshop User and president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, he lives and breathes Adobe’s tools. As you explore Lightroom with him, you’ll find his enthusiasm infectious and his techniques essential.

Kelby focuses on maximizing productivity at every opportunity. You’ll learn how to automate file imports using Watched Folders; how to perform one-click sorting with Collections; even how to apply the same edit to hundreds of images. Everything is written from the position of the professional photographer (which is what Kelby first of all is).
