Richard Earney’s Inside Lightroom 2 Book Review

I’ve read a few books on Lightroom 2 and found most lacking. While not lacking much Richard Earney’s Inside Lightroom 2: The serious photographer’s guide to Lightroom efficiency, there are some deficiencies that cause me to prefer Scott Kelby’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) book slightly over this one.

While Kelby walks you through step by step on how to do things, Earney goes into more detail on some topics which is something I enjoy. It’s nice to know how to do things, but knowing ‘why’ is better for the long run. I do wish Earney went into more detail on more topics though. FOr example, if Presets had been described with more detail and depth, this book would have been much more complete.

While a good book and one I’d recommend as a companion to Scott Kelby’s Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter), I would use this book as an addendum to Kelby’s and not a replacement of it.
