商品描述

While Adobe Photoshop has long been their choice for editing digital photographs, many photographers want a more focused tool. That’s where Adobe Photoshop Lightroom comes in. Designed from the ground up with digital photographers in mind, Photoshop Lightroom offers powerful editing features in a streamlined interface that lets photographers import, sort, and organize images. This completely updated and expanded bestseller, The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book, was also written with photographers in mind. Author Martin Evening describes features in Photoshop Lightroom 2 in detail from a photographer’s perspective. As an established commercial and fashion photographer, Martin knows first-hand what photographers need for an efficient workflow. He has also been working with Lightroom from the beginning, monitoring the product’s development and providing feedback on the public beta. As a result, Martin knows the software inside and out, from image selection to image editing to image management.

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book contains 624 pages of comprehensive and detailed coverage of all aspects of Lightroom. In this book you’ll learn how to:

• Work efficiently with images shot in the raw or JPEG format
• Import photographs with ease and sort them according to your workflow
• Create and manage a personal image library
• Apply tonal adjustments to multiple images quickly
• Integrate Photoshop Lightroom with Adobe Photoshop
• Export images for print or Web as digital contact sheets or personal
portfolios

The book structure has been organized to match a typical Lightroom workflow. The introductory chapter provides an overview of all the main Lightroom features, showing how Lightroom 2 was used on a studio photo shoot that was specially shot to illustrate the book. The following chapters cover all the essentials, such as importing photos, working with the Library module, and managing the catalog database. The biggest section of the book is devoted to working with the Develop module and provides some unique insights into working with new features such as the localized adjustment tools. There is also a whole chapter devoted to image sharpening and another on integrating Lightroom and Photoshop, where you will learn how to devise the best workflow methods for working between these two programs. This is followed by a chapter on printing and a presentation chapter on the Slideshow and Web modules. Lastly, there are two appendix chapters. One offers a complete overview of the Lightroom 2 preference settings, while the other provides some in-depth explanations and background reading on how the Lightroom program works.

The book is richly illustrated, mostly using the author’s own photographs, and one of the nice features of this book is the way enlarged panel views are used throughout, making it easier for readers to follow the settings used in the various step-by-step examples. There are also lots of tips that will help you take your Lightroom techniques to an advanced level.

If you are looking for the most comprehensive coverage of Lightroom, written by an author who is closely involved with the development of the program, this is the book to get.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

雖然Adobe Photoshop長期以來一直是編輯數位照片的首選工具,但許多攝影師希望有一個更專注的工具。這就是Adobe Photoshop Lightroom的用途。Photoshop Lightroom從頭開始設計,專為數位攝影師而設,提供強大的編輯功能,並以簡潔的界面讓攝影師導入、分類和組織圖像。這本全新更新和擴展的暢銷書《The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book》也是為攝影師而寫的。作者Martin Evening從攝影師的角度詳細描述了Photoshop Lightroom 2的功能。作為一位資深的商業和時尚攝影師,Martin深知攝影師在高效工作流程方面的需求。他從一開始就一直在使用Lightroom,監控軟體的開發並提供公開測試的反饋。因此,Martin從圖像選擇到圖像編輯再到圖像管理,對軟體了如指掌。

《The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book》包含624頁全面詳細地介紹了Lightroom的各個方面。在這本書中,您將學習如何:
• 高效處理以RAW或JPEG格式拍攝的圖像
• 輕鬆導入照片並根據工作流程進行分類
• 創建和管理個人圖像庫
• 快速對多張圖像進行色調調整
• 將Photoshop Lightroom與Adobe Photoshop整合
• 將圖像以數位聯絡表或個人作品集的形式導出供打印或網頁使用

本書的結構按照典型的Lightroom工作流程進行組織。引言章節概述了所有主要的Lightroom功能,展示了Lightroom 2在一個專門拍攝的工作室攝影中的應用,以便說明本書的內容。接下來的章節涵蓋了所有基本知識,例如導入照片、使用圖書館模組和管理目錄數據庫。本書最大的部分專門介紹了使用開發模組的技巧,並提供了一些關於使用本地調整工具等新功能的獨特見解。還有一整章專門介紹圖像銳化,另一章介紹了如何將Lightroom和Photoshop整合,您將學習如何制定在這兩個程序之間工作的最佳工作流程方法。之後是一章關於打印的內容,以及一章關於幻燈片和網頁模組的演示。最後,還有兩個附錄章節。其中一個提供了Lightroom 2偏好設定的完整概述,另一個則提供了關於Lightroom軟體運作方式的深入解釋和背景閱讀。

本書豐富地插圖,大部分使用作者自己的照片,其中一個很好的特點是在整本書中使用了放大的面板視圖,使讀者更容易跟隨各個逐步示例中使用的設定。還有很多技巧可以幫助您將Lightroom技術提升到更高的水平。

如果您正在尋找最全面的Lightroom覆蓋範圍,並由與該軟體開發密切相關的作者撰寫,那麼這本書就是您的首選。
