Aside from that there were some standup information about Lightroom that will be useful reference--like the thing on finding out which of your images dont have copyright data on it and how to do that and some good information about photo books (and a reminder of how to do a two page spread). Very cool book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Full of helpful information about LightroomBy JFKThis book is SOOOO helpful in learning the ins and outs of Lightroom.
