Adobe has tons of great online reference material for Lightroom, including hours of video lessons.

The company manages a useful forum for users and those users have created a wide range of websites and blogs related to this program. Full marks to all of them, and previews for Adobe to create a better visualization of the program I’ve ever used.

But I could never get a handle of how I should approach the “workflow “, or method of working with photos in Lightroom.

For me, Lightroom is not just a place to play with the pictures, it looks more like a giant mansion filled with rooms full of mysterious machines, secret passages , and so on, that looks like magic. I’ve always been more than half lost in the mansion Lightroom, when I processed photos.

To book Nat Coalson, that is.

I have some third of the way through it, and if I stopped reading it now, I would still feel that I learned as worth the price of the book. Indeed, as the title of this review says, I would be happy to pay twice as much just for the little I got it already.

Mr. Coulson wrote the way I think it must deliver its training programs.

There is a strong sense of one-on-one training in his work, and pays off in the way that everything else I’ve read about Lightroom can not open.

One of the problems with Lightroom, I have always was puzzled a number of options, functions and menu items. I never knew that half of them, and the other half I had no idea of what choice to make. This choice is all well explained in the book, not in the sense that they do, but what they can mean for your work, for your pictures. And if you’re still not clear on which option to choose, he usually finishes a section telling you that his personal choice, at least gives you a very well-informed place to start.

In section of the book, I concluded the deal essentially with how to get your photos in Lightroom in an organized manner, as to understand them, judge them, and get everything lined up before diving into the actual processing. This is a very important step that Adobe refers to as “workflow.” Although there is no one way about the process the way I used were wasteful and completely draining your time and energy.

Reading about the process in Lightroom is always to feel like someone wrote on the varnish the surface of my brain. I just could not get the concept, the details were Byzantine, and it just all seemed too bureaucratic and anal.

Now I do not even think about this process. All this is transparent and easy.

Configure the program and my picture files as he recommended. I found the options and features I liked. And I started to get-things-done – quickly.

Before me an hour or more just to get 100 or so shots of sorting and evaluation, are ready for full-scale image processing.

But now I can switch through 100 rounds in a few minutes.

I’m really looking forward to the next two-thirds of this book.
