Product Description
This beautifully illustrated and eminently practical book offers a complete tour of Lightroom 2, the integrated digital photography workflow application that allows serious photographers to import, select, develop and showcase large volumes of digital images. Augmented by photos and case studies from a demanding road test in Tasmania, award-winning photographer Mikkel Aaland explains how Lightroom can improve the way you work.
After watching -- and often helping -- Adobe create Lightroom entirely from the ground up, Aaland (author of Photoshop CS3 RAW) decided to try it out in the field. He organized a group of top-notch photographers for a trek to Tasmania, the exotic island south of mainland Australia, where the only studio was Lightroom on a laptop. In Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure, Aaland uses hands-on knowledge from the trip to demonstrate how Lightroom can help you create the best possible image under any conditions.
This unique tutorial walks you step-by-step through Lightroom's:
- Library module for uploading, sorting, tagging, ranking and adding keywords to your images
- Develop module with Adobe Camera RAW for complete non-destructive color and tonal adjustments
- Slideshow module, where you select and size images, and export the show to HTML, Flash, or PDF formats
- Print module, which includes several templates for printing contact sheets or full images
- Web module, where you can create Flash or HTML web galleries
With many gorgeous examples shot in the exotic wilds of Tasmania, this book lets you see the results for yourself. Mikkel Aaland's trademark ability to teach complicated topics on digital imaging with straightforward, easy-to-follow text makes this book a valuable learning tool for anyone serious about digital photography.

Think of this book as not only a how-to guide to using Lightroom, but also a great piece of armchair travel. Beautiful images of the Island of Tasmania will entertain and inspire as you learn how to use Lightroom 2 to its fullest potential.
 Good, but not great October 25, 2008

I'm a recent Lightroom 2.1 convert and have Scott Kelby's Lightroom 2 book. This book was a purchase intended to learn more about the actual use of the program, as opposed to how all the buttons work, and in that I was disappointed. The Lightroom 2 Adventure provides good basic instruction on how the Lightroom features work, but not nearly as much about why you'd use them as I was hoping.
So I'm still looking for a "Lightroom 2 in Practice" sort of book.
