Photoshop for Lightroom Users

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is truly an awesome program, and the primary editing tool for so many photographers today. But, at some point, you realize that there are things you need to do to your images that Lightroom just canât do. It could be anything from pro-level portrait retouching, to blending two or more images together, to incredible special effects, to removing distracting things in your image, to adding beautiful type to your images, and, wellâ¦there are just lots of incredible things you could doâ¦if you just knew Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop isâ¦wellâ¦itâs Photoshopâ"this huge, amazing, Swiss Army knife of a program with 70+ tools, and more than a hundred filters. So, compared to Lightroom it seems really complicated, and it could be, but youâve got a secret weapon: Scott Kelby. Heâs the same guy who wrote the worldâs #1 best-selling book on Lightroom, heâs Editor and Publisher of Photoshop User magazine and Lightroom Magazine, and heâs here to teach you just the most important, most useful parts of Photoshopâ"just the stuff that Lightroom canât already do. Once you learn these techniques (all covered in this short, quick, easy-to-use, plain-English guide), it opens a whole new world of productivity and creativity. 

Hereâs what youâll learn:

• Scott tells you flat-out which tools to use, which techniques work best, which ones to avoid, and why. You only really need about 20% of what Photoshop can do, and that 20% is all covered right in this book.

• The most important layer techniques, and learning layers is like being handed the keys to the candy storeâ"this is where the fun begins, and youâll be amazed at what youâll be able to do, so quickly and easily. 

• Scottâs favorite (and most useful) portrait retouching techniques; his favorite special effects for landscape, travel, and people photos; plus which filters are awesome (and which ones waste your time). 

• Also, youâll learn how to mask hair and create super-realistic composites (youâll be amazed when you learn how easy this is), plus how to take advantage of all the latest Photoshop technology, how to leverage the latest features (so youâre doing things the easy way), and a bunch of todayâs most popular techniques (the same commercial looks youâre seeing in hot demand), so youâll be using Photoshop like a shark in no time. 

If youâve been saying to yourself, âYa know, I really should learn Photoshop,â youâre holding the absolute best book to get you there, coming from the guy who literally wrote the book on Lightroom. He knows how to help you make the most of using these two powerful tools together to take your images (and your fun) to the next level. You are going to love being a Photoshop shark!
