The Indispensable Guide to Lightroom CC
My latest book for Rocky Nook, looking at Lightroom CC/6 including all the new features. Available in both print and ebook forms.

Piet Van den Eynde: Beginners get more than enough information from this book, but even an experienced user (like I consider myself to be) can learn more than a couple of tricks.Newsletter
