Recommended Posts

Does anyone own this ebook from Thorsten around the Lightroom workflow?

Is it a good? was it worth investing in?

 

Does someone by any chance have a discount code that can be applied?

 

Please let me know.

Here are some videos available through quick online search.

 

Keep in mind that Thorsten prefers LR 3 to LR5, last I read, and he uses only a fraction of LR's controls and capabilities. This suits his needs and preferences, which of course is what counts.

 

My approach, though, is much different, preferring LR 5 by a considerable margin, with use of many functions depending on a given photo. I don't mind individualizing my processing approach for a given photo, while Thorsten prefers a fairly consistent, quick and simple methodology.

 

Different strokes.

Thanks Jeff.

 

I am more interested in the advanced settings like camera profiles, lens profiles and such....I am a complete beginner at LR5....know the basics of basics....

I would go with Marin Evenings' book on LR 5 rather than Kelby's. Evening is straightforward and to the point. I haven't seen Kelby's LR 5 book, but his other books have a little too much humor and chatter for my taste. Evening is a real pro.

 

I also would consider getting the Kindle version or other e-book version. I have found having all of my photography instructional books on my iPad to be very helpful.

I have the Kelby and Evening books, but given the reader's apparent level of understanding, I think he'll do better with the Kelby book first and, as I already pointed out, just ignore the bad humor (mostly on the first page of each chapter that can be skipped without harm).
