REVIEW EXCERPT: “This how-to book for optimizing CS5 and LR3 is the right mix of written and visual instruction. Handy tips in the margins also provide a quick reference to best-practices for leveraging the power of these tools. The author organizes the information in a clear fashion with little room for newbies like me to get lost. I find the explanation of why a user may be interested in a particular very helpful as well. Over the course of the last few days I’ve established my preferences in both LR3 and CS5, streamlining my workflow. I’ve been able to improve upon my images using several of the post-processing techniques outlined in this book. A handy book to keep nearby when managing your post-production process.”

I’m very proud to announce that I am authoring a new book for Peachit and Adobe Press, focused on Adobe Digital Imaging products (that’s all I can say for now), which will be released later this year! I’ve been working with the Adobe alpha and beta teams since CS2, and can say as a photographer and hard-core Adobe fan, this is a dream come true for me. CS5 is such an impressive upgrade and more great stuff on the way; it’s just a very big year for digital imaging all around.
