Chapter 1 urges the reader to organize one's photos into a file system and place them on a backup drive, NOT the hard drive. Unfortunately, crucial information on how to do this properly, and pitfalls to avoid, was lacking and those omissions resulted in multiple duplicates of my photos in the Lightroom catalog.
It's no small task eliminating duplicates from Lightroom--something not covered in this book--so I had to wipe everything out import thousands of photos again. Unfortunately, Chapter 2 contradicts the instructions in chapter 1, advising the reader to place all photos back on the hard drive otherwise loading photos will be too slow! That process was not as described and I lost most of my but backed up photo data. As a result of that, I had to wipe clean the Lightroom library again and import photos into the app's catalog system a third time!
The author also advises the reader to organize the photos in a certain fashion in chapter 1, but as it turns out, a lot, if not most of the organization was unnecessary and in fact, will actually make it harder to organize them in Lightroom's catalogs and collections system.
Update: Once past that nightmare, I think the book is helpful. Great effort is made to simplify complex operations, diagrams are reasonably good, the writing is engaging. There are a few glaring deficiencies in this book. I wanted to enlarge a photo to work on blemishes and such. How does one do that? Good luck finding it. It certainly doesn't jump out in the index.
After an hour of infuriating fumbling around, I concluded that I need to go to the library view to enlarge, then back to the develop section to effect the changes.
That's crazy. Is there a better way to do this? Impossible to know from this book. I wanted to jump to a step in the history to remove that step. It would have been nice to know that if I hit the delete key, the entire photo gets deleted, not the step I wanted to be removed. How does one reverse the delete or even copy that photo back into the collection in which I was working?
I stumbled around for at least another hour trying to figure out how to make that simple move, and the book was no help. This is an author with a great reputation and a highly respected book. So then why isn't there a page that lists all the shortcuts? To me that's an incredibly basic list absent from the book. So the book is helpful but there are some substantial and significant deficiencies. I've read his previous Lightroom books and unfortunately, besides changing his work flow, there is not enough "new" info to make this worth buying.
But for me what was really disappointing was the fact that there are glaring typos - doesn't anyone proof anymore? I wouldn't even call them misspellings - just typos but come on! Maybe he's just dashing them off so quickly that they are not vetted but I found this one had more "fluff" than his other books and too much time spent on modules that most users don't bother with. Lightroom is a complex application with loads of features, many of which are hidden or aren't intuitive.
This book does a really nice job of going through the core application, digging into those magical features, and explaining many use cases and workarounds that may not be obvious to a beginning user. Great job, in the casual and humorous style I've come to enjoy from the author. My one critique is the section on Lightroom CC nee Mobile. Both the desktop and mobile versions are still evolving rapidly.
