Reviews
After reading many of the reviews of the Scott Kelby books here on Amazon, I was not going to buy Kelby's version of Lightroom instruction, but the reviews of the other books were not as good as I would have expected, so I went ahead and bought this one, as it was well rated.I am pleasantly surprised about the quality. Lightroom is not quite as intuitive as one would expect, and there are many powerful functions one would miss if they don't buy a book. Yet, you don't want to spend forever learning Lightroom. You want to get in and get down to business fast. This is exactly what this book does. Step by step, it quickly gets you up to speed on Lightroom in clear, non-convoluted steps.I agree, though, with all of the reviewers of this and the other Kelby books that the humor is often off-putting. The frat boy humor is at times sarcastic and other times winks at drinking to excess. It is not the type of humor that is appropriate for a self-proclaimed professional to use in a professional capacity. A book can be made very humorous and informational without the humor being offensive. This is the only blot on an otherwise fine book. I still recommend it highly.
