Chapter 9, "Exporting Files," explains how you don't actually save files in the Lightroom environment; rather it saves instructions on the processing for your images. So, if you want to process outside the Lightroom environment, you will need to export the file which applies the changes to the exported file. Chapter 10, "Lightroom Slideshows," will take you through the steps in creating a slide show to present your images. Also addressed are the new features to the Slideshow Module.
Chapter 11, "Power Printing," takes you to the next level of printing images. Many said that the Print module was one of the most powerful features of the first version of Lightroom; well it is even more powerful now. Chapter 12, "Creating a Web Gallery," shows how Lightroom can create all of the components to generate a full-fledged web gallery in either HTML or Flash. You can even upload your ready-to-go gallery directly.
Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure is a concept book, and because of that, it may not be for everyone. If you are a total beginner to photography and to the software needed to process images, this book may not go into enough detail and may not explain enough about the controls that are used within Lightroom. The same may be the case if you need step-by-step hand holding to learn a new piece of software.
Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure is on the other hand a great concept for a book. It allows me as the reader, an entertaining way to learn of new photographers, see how they compare to others who basically are shooting the same sites, all while learning the new features of Lightroom 2. If you own the first edition, should you get this one? If you like great photography you should, even if you do not learn anything more about Lightroom 2, the images themselves are worth it. I highly recommend this book.
