Martin Evening’s ‘The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers’ is probably not a book to have in front of you while you are using Lightroom. The author digs a little deeper into photo editing than other Lightroom books. His book is aimed at photographers and the terms and definitions he uses may be a bit difficult to understand for some. However, if you do manage to read this book from cover to cover, I can guarantee you will learn just as much about photography as you will about Lightroom. An excellent book to learn about Lightroom and photo editing, and to have in your bookcase as a reference.
