If a piece of software is so complex that I need a book then I will look for something else. One the things I have always liked about LR is precisely its relative simplicity. What I learned when trying the first version back in 2006 has been transferable to the later versions, obviously with some looking at the online stuff to learn the new features that interested me. But no books for me, thanks :-) Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu http://www.nathanfoto.com PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://www.fotocycle.dk/blog YNWA On Aug 10, 2010, at 1:49 PM, Tina Manley wrote: > I recommend Martin Evening's LR3 book.
