The digital photographer's workflow is divided into two. The first portion of the workflow is used to import and organize images, and prepare them for presentation via proof printing, Web, or slideshow. Increasingly, photographers are turning to Adobe's acclaimed new Lightroom software to manage these needs.

After the best images have been identified in the first portion of workflow, photographers move to improve upon the chosen images using a variety of digital tools. An overwhelming majority of digital photographers choose Photoshop as their image editor.

Many photographers are confused by one or both parts of this workflow. "Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop Workflow Bible" will guide digital photographers through the image editing process from uploading large quantities of Raw files into the computer, to printing that special image from a single file. Written by Mark Fitzgerald, an Adobe Certified Expert and Adobe Certified Instructor in Photoshop CS & CS2, this book is an invaluable reference on optimizing the management of images to create an efficient, effective, and logical workflow. The accompanying Web site includes full-color images from throughout the book.
