Victoria Bampton a.k.a. The Lightroom Queen has done it again! Hot on the heels of the final release of Lightroom 3, Victoria has published an updated and expanded version of her excellent book.
If you buy only one Lightroom book then Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 — The Missing FAQ should be it. Unlike other Lightroom books, this one takes the approach of answering users’ questions. Chances are, if you have a question, someone has already asked it and Victoria has answered it. I keep the PDF always ready on my Mac. If history is any indicator then version 3 will become as indispensable as versions 1 and 2 have been! If you haven’t upgraded to Lightroom 3 yet I’d still recommend you get the book that matches your version.
Because of the question and answer format Victoria has chosen, reading the book is like having a conversation. You immediately fall into the role of the user asking these questions and Victoria’s straight-forward answers get right to the point instead of overwhelming you with an unending stream of prose and pontification. It’s relaxed, educational, and great fun to read!
