y steps begins by
looking at the desktop, mobile and web versions of Lightroom and shows how they
can be used individually and together to effortlessly capture, edit, and share
photos between your devices. This provides a one-stop-shop for all of your
photography needs, whether you are at home or at different locations capturing
photos.

Lightroom has a sophisticated range of color editing
tools, for fine-tuning every aspect of a photo. These are looked at in detail,
so you can master all of the techniques required to edit your photos to your
own exact requirements, and include:

Profiles, which are
preset options that can apply a range of editing elements to photos, mostly
unprocessed ones (RAW). Once a profile has been created, it can be used on
similar photos to create a consistent appearance. If required, additional
editing can be undertaken once a profile has been applied.

Light, including
exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, and blacks.

Color, including
white balance, temperature, tint, black and white, vibrance, hue, saturation,
and luminance.

Targeted adjustment, including
the Tone Curve and the Color Mixer.

Effects, including
texture, clarity, dehaze, and vignette.

Detail, including
sharpening - to improve the focus of a photo - reducing color noise, and
applying film grain effects.

Optics, for
correcting camera lens issues for digital photos, including chromatic
aberration, lens corrections, and defringing.

Geometry, which can
be used to edit the geometric perspective in photos - for instance if buildings
do not initially appear straight.

The book also covers the 40+ preset editing techniques
that can be applied to photos in a single click, how to manage and handle your
photos, the search options so you never lose track of any of your photos, and
how to share your photos.

Lightroom in easy steps demystifies
the latest developments in the world of digital photo editing, organizing,
sharing, and storing so that all of your attention can be focused on making
your photos as stunning as possible.
