Since Lightroom first launched 15 years ago, Scott Kelby's The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book has been the world's #1 top-selling Lightroom book (it has been translated into dozens of different languages), and in this latest version for Lightroom Classic, Scott did his biggest update ever, sharing all his latest techniques, insights, and invaluable tips using his award-winning, step-by-step, plain-English style that makes learning Lightroom easy and fun.

Scott doesn't just show students which sliders do what (every Lightroom book does that, right?). Instead, he shares his own personal settings, his time-tested techniques, and his proven step-by-step method of learning Lightroom, so students can begin using it like a pro from the start.

He tells students flat-out which techniques work best, which ones to avoid, and why. They'll learn:

  • His now famous SLIM (Simplified Lightroom Image Management) system will teach them, step by step, how to organize their images, back them up, and be able to find them quickly and easily. Scott's SLIM system is used by photographers all over the world and is taught at colleges and universities, because it's so simple, straightforward, and effective.
  • How to make their images look like the pros' and how to take advantage of the RAW camera, creative, and B&W profiles—they will finally "get" the whole image-editing thing, and they'll know exactly what to do, in what order, and why.
  • How to use Lightroom along with Photoshop, and how to make the two work together absolutely seamlessly. Students will be surprised at what they'll be able to do, even if they've never used Photoshop before.
  • There's a full chapter on how to use Lightroom on a mobile device to expand Lightroom's power.
  • Students can also download most of the same images used in the book to follow right along with.
  • And, students will get a killer collection of custom Lightroom Develop and Print presets to give them some of the most sought-after looks and effects, all with just one click.
  • This is the first and only book to bring the whole process together in such a clear, concise, and visual way. There is no faster, more straight-to-the-point, or more fun way to learn Lightroom than with this ground-breaking book.
