Photoshop for Lightroom Users by Scott Kelby

Lightroom is such an awesome program for organizing and editing photos, but after you've worked with it for a while, you'll hit a wall—a point where you realize that there are things you need to do that Lightroom just won't do. It could be anything from retouching portraits, to blending two or more images together, to stitching panoramas, to creating realistic HDR images, to adding beautiful type to your images—there are lots of incredible things you could do...if you just knew Adobe Photoshop.

But, while Lightroom is pretty easy to learn (well, except for maybe the whole managing your images part), Photoshop is...well...it's Photoshop. It's this huge, amazing, Swiss Army knife of a program with 70+ tools, more than two dozen floating panels, and a ton of filters, so compared to Lightroom it seems really complicated, but that's only because...it is.

Well, it would be tough to learn, but you've got a secret weapon: Scott Kelby, the guy who wrote the world's #1 best-selling book on Lightroom, and the Editor and Publisher of Photoshop User magazine. Scott has put together this short, quick, plain-English guide that only covers the parts of Photoshop that a Lightroom user would actually need to learn.
