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 can feel overwhelmed by Photoshop; the sheer number of tools and options make it difficult for novice and intermediate users. Though many instructional books are available, few focus on the aspects of the program that are significant to a photography workflow.
 
Adobe Certified Instructor Steve Laskevitch uses his experience as a teacher and practitioner to create a guide for a clear, effective workflow for editing photographs in the 2014 release of Photoshop CC and its companions: Bridge, Camera Raw, and Lightroom 5. Focusing on the critical elements of a workflow, this book is designed to get you working quickly. The various applications are presented side-by-side so that a user of one can learn how to use the others. If you’re a new user, this book will be your roadmap.
 
In addition to the essential features of these programs, Laskevitch covers features specific to the new releases, including:

Lightroom mobile
Dramatically improved RAW image processing, including the new Radial Filter and retouching of irregular shapes
The improved Blur Gallery, including selective focus and bokeh effects
Recomposing or retouching photos with even more content-aware editing
Automatic straightening of image content
Camera shake reduction
Improved perspective correction
Broader video support
