Adobe Lightroom for Dummies

This complete guides teaches you how to use Adobe Lightroom 5 to import, manage, edit, and showcase large quantities of images with impressive results.

This book covers Lightroom 6 (the perpetual license) and Lightroom CC 2015. New books for Lightroom Classic (7.x, October 2017 release) and Lightroom CC (new cloud-native version) will be available early in 2018.

Adobe Lightroom CC/6 – The Missing FAQ is primarily designed as a 600+ page conversational FAQ-style reference book, giving you the detailed information you need to make informed choices, whether you’ve been using Lightroom for a few months or a few years. No more pressing buttons without understanding the repercussions!

Unlike most other Lightroom books, this isn’t just the theory of how Lightroom’s supposed to work, but also the workarounds and solutions for the times when it doesn’t behave the way you’d expect.

For less experienced users, the Fast Track weaves its way through the book, with short tutorials that guide you through a simple workflow, allowing you to gain confidence before diving into the more advanced questions.

For many years, the Adobe Lightroom – The Missing FAQ books have been among the most popular Lightroom books available. The LR CC/6 version is a major rewrite that’s taken 2 years to complete, and it’s the best yet. The information is now easier for less experienced users to understand, and easier to find using the comprehensive new index. If you’ve read previous versions, don’t worry, all of the advanced information is still there and has been expanded too. The paperback’s even more readable having been produced in color print for the first time (it’s a thick matte paper, so it’s much better than the previous B&W print).
