Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers
by Scott Kelby

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers - by #1 bestselling computer and technology author, Scott Kelby - is the most complete and concise Lightroom "how-to" book for digital photographers of all skill levels.

In The Adobe Pho...toshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers, Scott walks readers through the basics of Lightroom use, gradually leading them to a brilliantly devised and super efficient digital photography workflow that dramatically improves productivity and allows photographers to spend less time processing photos and more time shooting them.

Throughout the book Scott shares his personal camera and Lightroom settings, as well as the studio-tested techniques he's developed for his own photography workflow. The book is written in his trademark step-by-step, plain English style, and because he knows what really works and what doesn't, he isn't shy to tell you flat out which tools to use, which to avoid, and why. This allows digital photographers of any skill level to jump right in using Lightroom like a pro from the very start, sidestepping a lot of the frustrations that typically haunt those unfamiliar with new applications…especially those as powerful as Lightroom.

What really sets The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers apart from other Lightroom books on the market are the last two bonus chapters where Scott answers the questions, "In exactly what order am I supposed to do things in Lightoom," and "Where does Photoshop fit in to the mix?" Both chapters start with an on-location photo shoot, including full details on the equipment, camera settings, and lighting techniques. Readers then witness as he takes the photos from each shoot through the entire workflow process, to the final output of the 16"x20" prints. And, because he incorporates Photoshop seamlessly right into this workflow, you'll learn some of the latest Photoshop techniques for portrait and landscape photography as well.

If you're one of those people who learns best by actually doing the projects yourself; who learns best without all the complicated technical explanations and confusing jargon, and if you really want to start using Lightroom today to unlock the productivity secrets of "The new digital photography workflow,"---there is no faster, more "straight-to-the-point" or more fun way to learn than this groundbreaking new book, and you are absolutely going to love it!

The Mac OS X Leopard Book
by Scott Kelby
How to do the things you want to do on your Mac

Scott Kelby, author of the smash worldwide bestseller The iPod Book, takes that same casual award-winning style and layout to show you how to do the things you want to do with your Mac, and he does it without all the technical explana...tions and techno-jargon. Now learning the Mac is as much fun as using one.

This book truly has a brilliant premise, and here's how Scott describes it: "If you came over to my house with your new Mac, and you said, 'Hey Scott, how can I delete a file from my Mac and make darn sure nobody else can retrieve it?' I wouldn't give you a lecture about file encryption algorithms, or 128-bit decryption protocols. In real life, I'd just turn to you and say, 'Just drag the file down to your Mac's Trash, and then go under the Finder menu and choose Secure Empty Trash.' I'd tell you just like that—short and sweet, right to the point—so that's what I tried to do throughout the entire book."

Scott wrote the book as though you brought your Mac over to his house, and he's giving you tips, advice, and sharing the secrets he's learned over the years, just like he would with a friend, in his casual signature style—without all the technical explanations and techno-babble.

Each page covers just a single topic—just one single thing you might need to do, like how to connect to a printer, or set up your email, or back up your Mac, and so on. That way, you can turn to the page for the thing you need to do, and learn how to do just that one thing, quickly and easily.
