Adobe Lightroom 2: Workflow for Busy Photographers

I recently saw a tweet from someone requesting a basic rundown of how one sets up Lightroom. That reminded me of something I’ve been meaning to do for some time.

A few years back, I’d authored a quick PDF to distribute to friends as they pondered getting into Lightroom. It was 2006/2007 and software like Lightroom was new and the hegemony of Bridge/ACR/Photoshop hadn’t yet been broken.

It has been extremely popular ever since, despite not making it all that public, and I’ve sent thousands of copies to photographers over the past few years.

Upon opening it the other day, I discovered it was a bit long in the tooth, so I dusted it off (metaphorically speaking) and reworked it in InDesign to include some new info, omit some of the less important stuff and generally updated it for Lightroom 2. It’s not a huge thing, only 13 pages long, but it can help you get started with Lightroom.

So without much more fanfare, may I present V2 of my Adobe Lightroom 2: Workflow for Busy Photographers PDF for your perusal?

It’s technically a beta release, and I’m sure it needs some more refining, but I’ll get to that over the next while. I’m sure some will find it as useful as version 1 was way back when.
