Book Reviews of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2: Visual QuickStart Guide
Book Review: Lightweight, but thorough introduction to Lightroom 2
Summary: 5 Stars
The Visual Quickstart Guide series has a pretty consistent record for being the books to turn to when you need a fast introduction to the basics of using a given program - and this title is not at all a disappointment.
This is not a treatise on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2. Rather it is an introduction that gets you off and running on using the program, which as a beginner is generally all you want to do.
Oddly enough I started with the original program that Adobe bought and rebranded as Lightroom. However they changed the feature set pretty extensively and I never really got into the first version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Now with the second release, I was totally lost as to what Lightroom 2 did - and wanted a painless reintroduction to the program and its expanded capabilities.
That's where "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2: Visual QuickStart Guide" comes in . Nolan Hester is a good writer. He begins at the beginning and walks you through the program and how to use it. Hester provides, in my estimation, just the right level of detail. There's plenty of handholding without his talking down to you and enough detail to use a function, but not so much as to be boring or confusing.
Personally, I found this book to be precisely the introduction to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2: Visual QuickStart Guide I needed, neither too lightweight nor too heavy.
