LIGHTROOM 4 UNMASKED
This is a complete guide to Adobe Lightroom 4 and we know you'll love diving into this beefy book. At 312 spreads this PDF is full of high-resolution screenshots, step-by-step instructions, and the tips, tricks and ideas that make digital darkroom work productive and more enjoyable. If you’re looking to learn Lightroom 4 and need a resource to help you do that quickly, or you’ve just upgraded and need to get up to speed, this is a great value.
INTRODUCING THE BIGBOOK
A BIGBOOK is like an eBook but bigger. A lot bigger! It's a PDF that, other than the fact that it's fully searchable and loaded with hyperlinks, is really the text book you've always wanted, like those big, heavy ones you'd normally pay the big bucks for! We put our elves to work and we've produced a digital text book. Instead of carving up the content into smaller chunks we've created something BIG so that you can have a definitive resource at your finger tips while saving money at the same time.
