Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographer- Free Chapter PDF - Devlop Module Image Editing

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographer- Free Chapter PDF - Devlop Module Image EditingAdobe Photoshop Lightroom was designed from the ground up with digital photographers in mind, offering powerful editing features in a streamlined interface that lets photographers import, sort, and organize images.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers is a completely updated bestseller that was also written with photographers in mind. Author Martin Evening describes features in Lightroom 4 in detail from a photographer's perspective.

As an established commercial and fashion photographer, Martin knows firsthand what photographers need for an efficient workflow. You can download a complete free chapter, Chapter 4 - Develop Module Image Editing from the Peachpit site. From the intro:

One of the most powerful features in Lightroom is the image processing engine and the way the image adjustment processing is deferred until the time you choose to edit in Photoshop or export an image. This method of image processing actually originated in the early days of computer imaging, when deferred processing was adopted by programs such as Live Picture and xRes as a means to speed up the image editing.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographer- Free Chapter PDF - Devlop Module Image EditingComputers were a lot slower back then, but it was possible to manipulate large image files in real time on relatively slow computers (with as little as 24 MB of RAM memory) and defer the image rendering process to the end of a photo edit session.

Of course, these days, you can edit large images in no time at all in Photoshop. But one of the key advantages of Lightroom is that you can apply a crop, spot the image, make localized adjustments, tweak the color, do some more retouching, readjust the crop again, and so on, without ever touching the pixels in the original photograph.

In a conventional pixel-editing workflow, the pixels are always modified in a consecutive sequence of steps. When you work in Lightroom, no restrictions are placed on the order in which you do things and the edit changes you make in the Develop module are only applied when you output a photo as a rendered file, such as a PSD, TIFF, or JPEG. A definitive guide to working with the image processing controls in the Develop module.

Scott Kelby Shows You How to Set Things Up Your Way in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 - Sample Chapter

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographer- Free Chapter PDF - Devlop Module Image EditingIn this sample chapter from Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book for Digital Photographers, Scott Kelby shows you how to customize Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4, including how to choose what you see in Loupe View and Grid View, how to work with Panels faster and easier, use two monitors, choose what the Filmstrip displays, and add your studio's name or logo for a custom look.

(Want to try Lightroom 4 or PS CS6? Or borth? You can now download a free 30-day trial of Photoshop CS6 or Lightroom 4 directly from Adobe.)

Read the full free chapter, Scott Kelby Shows You How to Set Things Up Your Way in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.

About the book
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4Since Lightroom first launched, Scott Kelby's Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book for Digital Photographers has been the world's #1 best-selling Lightroom book. In this latest version for Lightroom 4, Scott uses his same step-by-step, plain-English style and layout to make learning Lightroom easy and fun.

Scott doesn't just show you which sliders do what, and he doesn't just cover the newest features of Lightroom (though, of course, he does that, too, with discussions of the improved Clarity feature, White Balance adjustment brush, photo book capabilities, and much more). Instead, by using the following three simple, yet brilliant, techniques that make it just an incredible learning tool, this book shows you how to create your own photography workflow using Lightroom:

1) Scott shares his own personal settings and studio-tested techniques. He trains thousands of Lightroom users every year, and knows first hand what really works and what doesn't.
2) The entire book is laid out in a real workflow order with everything step by step, so you can begin using Lightroom like a pro from the start.
3) What really sets this book apart is the last chapter. This is where Scott dramatically answers his #1 most-asked Lightroom question, which is: "Exactly what order am I supposed to do things in, and where does Photoshop fit in?"

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book for Digital Photographers is the first and only book to bring the whole process together in such a clear, concise, and visual way.

Whether you use Lightroom, Aperture, or choose to use the Free Perfect Layers 2 as a standalone application, you now have a seamless way to create layered files without Photoshop.

However, if you do use Photoshop, you can open and edit Photoshop files in Perfect Layers and all Perfect Layers files can be edited in Photoshop, giving you even more flexibility in your workflow.

The power of layers gives you a starting point for creating the images you envision with easy-to-use tools designed specifically for photographers. With Free Perfect Layers 2, you can open and edit multiple files directly from Lightroom or Aperture, combine the best parts of multiple photos to balance exposure and build composites, retouch portraits and landscapes, and more—giving you endless creative options.

Blending layers together, especially copies of the same or similar image, is at the heart of Perfect Layers. By changing the blending modes, you can control the brightness, contrast and color of the image to dramatically alter the appearance. And, by adjusting the opacity, you can control the strength of the effect. Get amazing and highly stylized effects with simple blending modes in Perfect Layers.

Perfect Layers can create new layers, filled with a solid color. These color fill layers can be used to change the color of layers under them. These are non-destructive, re-editable adjustments. Perfect Layers includes presets that simulate common color correction and black and white conversion filters. You can also use the built-in masking tools to selectively place and control the strength of these color fill effects.

Photoshop Lightroom 4 - An Overview by Mark Galer

Here is an overview of Lightroom 4 from Mark Galer.

Photoshop Lightroom 4: Public Beta - An Overview by Mark Galer
The new map module of Photoshop Lightroom 4

As a beta version of the software it is free to download and use, but the software is neither feature complete or completely stable (it will crash!). I would, however, definitely recommend it to Photographers who are desperate to see what Adobe has been working on for the last 18 months, provide feedback to Adobe about the development of Lightroom 4 and use it as a way of skilling up with the new features prior to the release of the official version later this year. It is not a replacement for your existing Lightroom 3 catalog and Adobe recommends even duplicating the images you intend to import into a new Lightroom 4 catalog that you would like to use to test-drive the software (just in case).

Photoshop Lightroom 4: Public Beta - An Overview by Mark Galer
Soft Proofing in Photoshop Lightroom 4

Although Lightroom 4 has lots of great new ‘wow’ features, such as the new ‘Book’ and ‘Map’ modules, I would have to say the most significant changes for most professional photographers and photographic enthusiasts is:
1) The arrival of the new 2012 Raw Processing engine,
2) The ability to soft proof images in Adobe RGB, sRGB and to any printer profile you may have on your operating system (a long overdue feature I had requested with the original beta of Lightroom 1).
3) Video editing capability.

Photoshop Lightroom 4: Public Beta - An Overview by Mark Galer
Trimming a video in Lightroom 4

This last feature is likely to find an instant fan club amongst the video shooting DSLR crowd. Lightroom 4 can now preview and edit video files as well as just catalog the files. Users will be able to trim video files and perform basic edits (minus the Shadows, Highlights and Clarity adjustments). Users can also apply a ‘Saved Preset’ that utilises tone curves and split toning adjustments from the Develop Module.

If you generally only use a single method - pick flags, star ratings, or color labels - to identify your favorite images, you might want to take advantage of the auto-advance feature when reviewing your photos. In this lesson you'll learn how this feature works.

Organizing Images Using the Painter Tool
The Painter tool in Lightroom makes quick work of adding keywords or other metadata values to a number of images, as you'll see in this lesson.
