The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book for Digital Photographers from New Riders is a comprehensive tutorial, authored by Scott Kelby, that highlights how to develop your own workflow in Adobe Lightroom 4. Beyond just introducing what the tools and sliders do, this book focuses more on step-by-step processes to gain a greater understanding of how each tool in Lightroom functions and how to apply it to your own photography. Based on Kelby's own personal settings and studio-tested working methods, this guide is laid out in a real workflow order and follows a clear, concise step-by-step method to help learn the ins and outs of the application.

The final chapter in the book revolves around Kelby's most frequently asked question—"Exactly what order am I supposed to do things in, and where does Photoshop fit in?"—and reviews the entire workflow as well as how to incorporate Adobe Photoshop into your Lightroom process for more refined editing.
