Book description
Veteran photographer Rob Sheppard finds that Lightroom 2 can give you back the control over color images that photographers once enjoyed in the traditional darkroom. Packed with secrets Rob has discovered and developed, this book shows you how Lightroom processes RAW and JPEG files non-destructively, how to navigate quickly through your photos in any module with Filmstrip, how you can optimize your photos easily with the adjustment brush and graduated filter tools, speedy and simple ways to process multiple images, and how to prepare images for print or online display.
