useful guide
you could be forgiven for thinking that a manual published by Adobe would be the obvious book for learning all you need to know about Lightroom.

I was stunned that all the photos and diagramms are in black in white. which makes understanding and learning quite a challenge. If you are new to lightroom this book is a very useful guide for some sophisticated editing and file management. I use it as a quick guide when I am in a hurry. But for heavy bed time redaing (and arguably better value) is the Martin Evening Book which is in colour and surely is the definitive guide to Lightroom 2 click here:The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers But be warned Martin's book is complex. I use Chris Orwig's gudie AND Martin Evening's as each has its own use.
