My Lightroom 1.1 Update Kit is Up!

Yippie! It’s up!!! (I guess it actually went up yesterday, but I didn’t get the exact URL for the download until this morning. Sorry ’bout that).
Remember: this update was created exclusively for people who actually own my book “The Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers” and I created this 1.1 Update Kit as an added benefit for those specific people (whom I dearly love, by the way).
To download my Lightroom 1.1 Update Kit, go to Peachpit.com/register and enter the 10-digit ISBN number found on the back of the book. Once you do that, to download the book it’s going to ask you a simple question that, if you own the book, you’ll be able to easily answer (a sample question might be something like, “On page 12, what’s the first word in paragraph two?” That’s not the question, but it’s that easy.).
If you don’t have the book yet, you can pick it up at your local bookstore, or online from Barnes&Noble.com, or Amazon.com. Of course, once you get the book, then you can download my 1.1 Update Kit as well.
So, I hope you enjoy my 1.1 Update Kit, and I know you’re going to enjoy Lightroom 1.1.
Now, for some quick news:
- If you have a digital camera, make sure you check out this week’s episode of “The Digital Photography Show” Podcast, as Scott and Michael talk with an expert from Penn Camera on how to clean your digital camera’s sensor. It’s a terrific walk-though of how to blow, brush and wipe that dust away. The rep from Penn does a great job of demystifying the process and debunking some of the myths out there about sensor cleaning, and they talk about specific products and how to use them. Here’s the direct link.
- We’re getting incredible feedback on Corey Barker’s new online training course on Photoshop Channels. If you’ve ever wanted to unlock the power of Photoshop’s Channels features, make sure you check out Corey’s 21-day online course (remember, it’s just five minutes a day). Don’t forget: NAPP members get a BIG discount on taking the course. It’s over at PhotoshopTraining.com
- I’m off to the Bahamas today for some “meetings at sea” with a bunch of our staff (I love my job). We’ve sneaking in a photo shoot while we’re in Nassau and shooting with me will be Matt, Corey, Dave, Larry Becker, and friends. We’ll probably do some sort of shoot while we’re down here (seeing as our new Photoshop TV studio isn’t done yet). Should be lot of fun (and a little bit of work).
Have a great weekend, mon!











I just heard your interview on The Digital Photography Show and loved it. I’ve had Lightroom for a while now and I have just ordered your book from Amazon. I’m looking forward to reading it. I live in Central Ohio and, after hearing Scott talk about your Lightroom seminar, really wish that you were going to be offering it around here some where. Great blog.
Hi Scott,
This is probably the wrong place to put this but it’s something about your book that’s bugging me and I can’t find anywhere else to contact you about it.
I was really puzzled to get to page 337 and see you suggest buying songs from iTunes for a commercial presentation. It’s a great idea to buy the wedding song and like you say 99c (or rather more here in the UK) is “a pretty small investment for the impact it adds to your slideshow”. What puzzles me is that the iTunes copyright clauses expressly forbids this kind of use. No commercial use of the tune is permitted and syncing to a slideshow (even if you’re not using it to sell pictures!) is usually classed as a commercial use.
I know lots of photographers don’t really care about other people’s copyright (though seem pretty hot on their own) and use commercial tunes and I know that licensing a major artist’s song is a practically impossible but it was quite a shock to see you advocating this in a best selling book.
What am I missing?
Scott,
Thank you for providing the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book 1.1 update to your book. I have found it to be very intuitive. Now that adobe has released the lightroom 1.2 when will we see another update to the book ver. 1.2?
I bring your book with me so I have something to read while on the train. I have seen and read in Photoshop User magazine that you offer a darkroom magazine. In your book “The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book on pg. 380 you say “Darkroom magazine is sent free to all U.S. NAPP members, along with their issue of Photoshop User magazine. However, if you’re not a NAPP member, you can buy a downloadable eVersion of the magazine at http://www.darkroommagazine.com I am having a hard to locating this magazine on the website. Can this magazine be purchased somewhere else?
Cheers,
Help, can’t get to the download of the lightroom 1.1 udate kit. the peachpit website keeps giving me an error.
Thanks

ramvideo@optonline.net

Hi, Just passed by LA and got your book. What a great investment… now learning how to really make the most of Lightroom.
Is there a Ver 1.2 PDF in the making?? It would be great to have the latest info.
Thanks
Paul
Book on Lightroom useful. But how can I delete folders after importing pictures after I delete the pictures inside them?
Thanks
Hi Scott,
I purchased “The Adobe Lightroom ebook for Digital Photographers. Why can’t I update to 1.1? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Scott
I am at a loss and turning to you for some help. I notice that when i export my dng files as jpgs, and open then in photoshop to sharpen them, they get a redish color cast to them. I cannot figure out why. any ideas.
thank you
KAren
Scott,
Thanks so much for the FREE update to your book!
Love the layout in the PDF, but just one suggestion…
Would you have the number of the pages for “The Original Lightroom 1.0″ side of the page to make a reference to which pages it appears on in your book?
That way I can make a note in the book to refer to your update PDF instead of wasting my time on old info…
Thanks again (seriously!)
Scott thanks for all of you insight and tips. I have used your printing templates in lightroom and would like to make some other ones, but cant modif the ones in lightroom. So how do you make them and how do you get them back in to lightroom? I tried Illustrator, it did not work. So any help I thank you for it. Thanks Bob Ogle
I can’t access your 1.1 update because Peachtree wants to know what device the woman on p. 122, step 15 is holding. I have no clue, other than she is listening to something. Peachtree won’t let me on their site. Kindly help me out here.
