Recommended Lightroom Classic book?

[nicholasg]

I've been using Lightroom for a few months now and feel I would benefit from working through a good book.

I've found 4 on Amazon: -

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic CC Book for Digital Photographers by Scott Kelby

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic CC Book: Plus an introduction to the new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC across desktop, web, and mobile by Martin Evening

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic CC Classroom in a Book (2018 release) by John Evans

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic CC - The Missing FAQ (Version 7/2018 Release): Real Answers to Real Questions Asked by Lightroom Users by Victoria Bampton

Would anyone recommend one of these (or a different one)?

Thanks,
Nicholas

I think her site is superb. I've found the people on the site are both super knowledgeable and super helpful. I was thinking of buying her book as a way of paying back.

I just noticed she has a new book "Adobe Lightroom CC – Edit Like a Pro" "coming soon".

I've also found Kelby's sites useful and I know his latest book covers changes around Profiles.

I’d recommend another book by Scott Kelly.

How Do I Do That in Lightroom?: The Quickest Ways to Do the Things You Want to Do, Right Now! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1937538931/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gCbkBbCY2F2ZH

It’s one item per page, so not one to read cover to cover, but perfect to dip in and out of to learn as you go.

I really like the Classroom in a book series, they all build your skillset in a logical and sound fashion.

Definitely Bampton. I think she is the most comprehensive of the bunch. Her website and accessibility are great bonuses.

I just noticed on her website the ebook version has already been updated for 7.4! Very cool.

Check out the videos on youtube. Adam Lerner and Jared Polin have a few. Fstoppers I think have a couple too.

I am of fan of Tony Northrup. He has done a number of books, one is the top seller in the photography section, but I don't remember which. His books include a lot of videos, many of which you can see on Youtube. The books and videos are supposedly updated frequently. And the price is right - $9.99 vs ~$30 US for the Lightroom Queen books.
