Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom are central to almost all photographic workflows. Each new version of the software is a milestone in the development of these vital imaging tools, and the 2014 releases are no exception.Photographers often feel overwhelmed when starting with Photoshop; the sheer number of tools and options make it difficult for the novice and intermediate user alike. There is no shortage of instructional books, yet very few direct the user to the most significant aspects of the program in a way that reflects a real workflow for the photographer.Focusing on the critical elements of a workflow rather than covering every arcane feature, this book is designed to get you working quickly in these applications. Along the way, the various applications are presented side-by-side so that a user of one may learn how to use the other: a kind of workflow Rosetta Stone. Or, if youre new to it all, this book will be your roadmap, helping you decide which way to go.In addition to the essential features of these programs, Laskevitch covers new features specific to the new releases, including:
Lightroom mobile;
Dramatically improved RAW image processing, including the new Radial Filter and retouching of irregular shapes;
Photoshops Improved Blur Gallery (Tilt-Shift, Iris, Field. and Radial Blur tools), Add selective focus, and bokeh effects;
Recomposing or retouching photos with even more content-aware editing and retouching tools;
Automatic straightening of image content;
Camera shake reduction;
Improved perspective correction;
Broader video support.This book is based on Lightroom 5, the current version at the time of writing. With the release of the next version of Lightroom, readers of this book may sign up to receive a free PDF by the author that will cover whats new.Adobe Certified Instructor Steve Laskevitch has leveraged his experience as a teacher and practitioner to create a guide that provides a clear and effective workflow for editing photographs in the 2014 release of Photoshop CC and its companions Bridge, Camera Raw, and Lightroom 5. iPAD Amazon Kindle, PC , Cool Reader, Calibre, Adobe Digital Editions

This book was written and built with Adobe InDesign. I am so grateful to Douglas Waterfall, InDesign engineer and architect, who is responsible for so much in the program that is wonderful, and Chris Kitchener, the product manager whos overseen the products great development for the last years.
Thank you, Bob Peterson, for being mindful of the better things in Life and inspiring me with your fine photography and humanity.

Table of Contents
In some ways, digital technology has fundamentally changed photography and printing. Photographers have almost unlimited options to achieve the precise image that they intend. Printing has become infinitely more flexible and pushed closer to the control of the image creator you. The level of control at our disposal now exceeds even some of the most powerful darkroom techniques used in the past. This power and flexibility is dazzling, even confusing, to many.
The Adobe Photoshop products are some of the most complex programs many of us will ever use. There is a reason Photoshop has become a verb. Despite that, my goal is to present them in a reasonably accessible way. Although we are provided with thousands of complex techniques for editing images, most users (and most images) dont need all of that complexity. In fact, only a few steps are needed to get the vast majority of images to shine. In this book, Ill introduce you to the processes that I and my students have found most valuable: from organizing a large image library, through editing density, contrast, and color, to more detailed processing like sharpening, basic retouching, and converting images from color to black-and-white. The workflow discussed is complete, but I will not discuss the extreme manipulations often considered Photoshop mischief.
In this books two main sections, youll find both the foundational concepts and vocabulary youll need to use the software discussed, and the pieces youll need to build your full photographic workflow from capture through print or online output. Lets get working.
This book is for those who want to learn the basic tools and image editing steps within Photoshop and Lightroom to create professional looking images. This, of course, includes photographers and graphic designers, but also a wide range of technicians and office workers who simply want to do more effective image editing. This book provides insight into the creation of good images, but doesnt showcase wow-factor Photoshop techniques. I also dont pull any punches. I include all the key techniques necessary for good image editing: using layers and layer blending, color correction, printer profiles, and more.
Most readers should have a good grasp of working with computers so they will have no problem navigating computer menus and dialog boxes, or dragging a mouse. I do not demand that the reader have any experience with Photoshop, although many readers who have a good, basic understanding of Photoshop will find that this book deepens their understanding.
This book has two key sections. Section 1: The Setup includes three chapters: ImportantTerms & Concepts, System Configuration, and The Interface: A Hands-On Tour. The first chapter familiarizes the reader with the key concepts behind color and digital images, as well as some thoughts on how cameras convert light to data. The brief second chapter will help you decide how to configure your hardware and software settings, including certain application preference settings youll want to configure correctly early on for the kinds of images you work with. The third chapter, the most likely to earn dog-ears or bookmarks on its pages, covers the layout and general use of the software applications well be using.
Section 2: The Workflow focuses on the key steps in a complete photographic workflow. Each chapter highlights those steps:
