Book description
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom was designed from the ground up with
digital photographers in mind, offering powerful editing features
in a streamlined interface that lets photographers import, sort,
and organize images. In this completely updated bestseller, author
Martin Evening describes features in Lightroom CC (2015 Release)/
Lightroom 6 in detail from a photographer's perspective. As an
established commercial and fashion photographer, Martin knows
firsthand what photographers need for an efficient workflow. He has

• Work efficiently with images shot in raw
or JPEG formats
• Import photographs with ease and sort
them according to your workflow
• Create and manage a personal image and
video library
• Quickly apply tonal adjustments to
multiple images

contact sheets or personal portfolios

processing for HDR and panoramas, GPU support for the Develop
module, and Slideshow and Web improvements
Photographers will find Lightroom CC / Lightroom 6 and
The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC / Lightroom 6 Book
indispensable tools in their digital darkrooms.
“With Martin’s expert guidance, you’ll soon find
that you have precisely the tools you need to turn your
concentration back where it belongs–on making better
pictures!”
–George Jardine, digital photography consultant
“As a photographer himself, Martin Evening knows what tools
photographers need to realize their creative vision. In this book,

it will become an essential part of any photographer’s
workflow.”
