Description

Learn Scott Kelby’s 7-Point System for developing photos to perfection in Adobe Lightroom!Imagine how awesome it would be if you opened up an image in Lightroom, even a really messed up one, and you knew exactly what to do first, what to do next, and every step along the way to take that image from flat to fabulous. Well, that is precisely what this book is all about. You’re learning a system―the same one taught in colleges and universities around the world―that was crafted by world-renowned Lightroom expert Scott Kelby, the world’s 1 best-selling Lightroom book author.This is a new way of working and thinking about editing your images that will change the way you work in Lightroom forever, so you’ll spend less time fixing your photos and more time finishing them, and doing the fun, creative things that make Lightroom the amazing tool that it is.Scott narrowed things down to just the seven major editing moves we need to master to enhance our images like a pro, so we’re not learning Lightroom tools we’re probably never going to need. Then, and perhaps most importantly, he determined exactly when and in which order to apply these seven techniques that make up this proven, time-tested “Lightroom 7-Point System.”But, the magic of this book isn’t just listing the seven techniques and how they work. It’s how they’re used together, and it’s the learning process you go through that makes this book so unique. This isn’t a “read about it” book. This is a hands-on “you do it” book. You start each lesson with the RAW photo, right out of the camera (you can download Scott’s images, so you can follow right along). Then, you’re going to apply the 7-Point System in a very specific way, and you’re going to do it over and over again, and again, and again, on a range of various photos, with different challenges and situations, until these seven points are absolutely second nature to you. You’re going to do the full edit each time―from beginning to end―with nothing left out. Once you learn this system, there won’t be an image on your screen that you won’t be able to enhance, fix, edit, and finish like a pro!As you move through the book, you’ll be amazed at how well this system works across such a wide range of photos, from landscapes to portraits, from architectural to sports photography, from wedding photos to everything in between. The book is 21 short lessons (including two bonus lessons where you work with Lightroom and Photoshop together), and if you spend just 10 minutes a day doing that day’s lesson, in three weeks, there won’t be a photo you won’t be able to beat! You’ll know what to do first, what to do next, and in exactly which order to take a dull, lifeless image and make it one you’d proudly hang on your wall. Best of all, you’ll learn more than just the 7-Point System along the way, as you’ll have to tackle whatever each image throws at you, so you’re going to discover extra techniques, shortcuts, and workarounds that will help you in every aspect of your editing.This is the book you’ve been waiting for―the industry has been waiting for―and once you learn this system and start applying it yourself, you’ll be the next one to say, “You can’t beat the system!” Read more

  • Learning a system for Lightroom is the way to go.
First of all this is the second Kelby book I've read. I like the snarky style. The second thing is, this is the only way to go if you are struggling with Lightroom. The 7-Point System works and don'e be fooled as you finish each chapter you actually become better at evaluating your image and using the tools. It is true the more you use it the better you get. This book is set up as a forced choice method of teaching, you choose to complete each chapter and point (pun intended) in the book. I wish there was a website with automatic updates. Lightroom came out with the latest version just after I started and I struggled a bit with the mask tools. They basically didn't show up as described in the text, although they are there and once I figured it out even better and easier to use. This book has helped me move from being intimidated by this program to using it as a tool and I feel like I'm getting better everyday. This book fit my style of learning perfectly. ... show more

  • Enjoyed the book & easy to follow step-by-step instructions.
Bought the Kindle version and went through all the 21 lessons using Lightroom Classic on my Windows pc. Now I am redoing each lesson again using Lightroom mobile version on my iPad pro which I have used sparingly in the past to process photos. I found the instructions to be complete and easy to follow and of course sprinkled throughout with Mr. Kelby’s humor. I will now be using this “system” of reviewing and post processing my photos. I would recommend the book and thought the Kindle price was fair for what you receive, and you can blow up the pictures to get a good look at the photo examples if needed. Didn’t deduct any stars for the offered free Lightroom presets that did not download since that is not why I bought the book or had anything to do with the instruction; but nonetheless found that annoying. ... show more

  • Outstanding Book to Learn Lightroom
This is quite simply the best book on learning Lightroom I have ever used. As many have already written, after going through the lessons in the book, I have gone back and edited some of my earlier images and achieved better results. This book is a game changer for me. Having a step-by-step apporach that can be applied to any type of photo has been an eye-opener. Yes, LR has been updated since the book was published. The updates are minor, easy to figure out, and only relate to the use of the adjustment brush, gradient tool, and clone/healing brushes. It would be useful if Scott Kelby would post a downloadable appendix on his web site to address these changes. ... show more

  • Adobe Lightroom Manual
Easy to study and learn using the 7-Point system. Highly recommended.

  • The Best Lightroom-Develop Module Book
A very well described way of consistently and systematically working the sliders in LR Develop when working with RAW photos. The ideas not only worked with the samples that were downloaded but I have gone back and redone at least 50 of my own pictures and everyone of the photos looked better after using the Lightroom 7-Point System. Some looked even better than some Tiffs that I had created using LR with added popular plug-ins. That you so very much Scott Kelby. ... show more

  • Repetitive practice that you need
Typical Kelby style, if you know what I mean. He provides 21 lessons. Each uses the necessary steps to get the results you want. Not boring. Easy to follow. Helps establish a Lightroom workflow in your mind that you can use. With the practice in this book, it becomes a no-brainer to work through the best edits required. ... show more

  • One Step at a Time
I’m not always a fan of Scott’s mostly because of his humor but I found this book quite different. He does a good job of his step-by-step description of the 7-points.
