I really want to have all the pix so i can work thru all the lessons the hard way. Is there somewhere where i can download not only some of the lessons pix, but all of the pix. Thanks and keep up the good work. Jo Ann. What a great book this is, but i can only download a few of the pix from the lessons.

Any suggestions? Thanks Brad Hey Scott,

I have a problem in lesson1/19: when I apply Calculations to the Lab Color the image become B/W and the menue is diferent as yours (I have Source1 and Source2 ....). When I come back to RGB the image is still B/W. Where is my mistake? Can you help me? Thanks Paul Hi Scott

I remember having a hard time with that one as well. One thing that no one seemed to bring up is that the way the 7-point system is presented in the book is pretty destructive. I've only gone through the first few chapters, but I see a lot of flattening images, layers, etc. Was wondering why you seem to use a lot of destructive editing in the book, Scott... it keeps file sizes down but surely the flexibility of multiple layers is worth it?

A usable workaround or a "it just won't work" from the "boss man" would be appreciated. Maybe he's just too busy to care about this minor stuff. Too bad, as he seems to be a great guy.

I think I figured out how to get the photo to open in PS as a Smart Object even though there is no Open Object button in LR as there is in ACR (you should have helped us work around that). What I can’t figure out is how to reopen the copied layer in LR. Double-clicking doesn’t seem to work as it does in ACR. So I’m stuck. I can't complete any of the lessons that require double-processing a file. Add my name to the growing list of LR users having a tough time with the 7 Point System.

I scanned the Cheat Sheet page of the book, imported it into Lightroom, brightened up the scan in Develop mode and printed it on 4x6" photo paper without borders. It is still easy to read and makes a great bookmark for the book. Scott - maybe you can consider including such a bookmark as a tear-out page in the next version.

I use the workaround to get my image into CS3 as a Smart Object. When I'm done, however, I can't get the completed image back into LR without importing it as a new image. Anyone know how to do this? Scott, we love your 7-Point System but really need your help by providing LR-specific instructions where they differ from ACR > CS3. Scott and all you posters before me,
