Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic for Photographers Classroom in a Book

Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic for Photographers Classroom in a Book is a practical, lesson-driven training guide for photographers who want a cleaner, more confident workflow across Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. Written in the familiar Classroom in a Book style, it moves from foundational organization and editing tasks into more advanced masking, retouching, compositing, and export work.

A hands-on workflow from import to final output

The book is arranged as a sequence of lessons, so readers can work straight through or jump into specific topics as needed. Early chapters focus on importing photos, building a usable Lightroom catalog, and organizing images into collections. From there, the emphasis shifts to tonal adjustments, color control, local edits, portrait cleanup, and the practical back-and-forth between Lightroom and Photoshop.

What the lessons cover

• Importing and organizing photos in Lightroom Classic
• Developing images with global and local adjustments
• Using masks, gradients, and subject/sky selection tools
• Retouching portraits and removing distractions
• Moving between Lightroom and Photoshop for more advanced editing
• Creating special effects, composites, HDR images, and panoramas
• Exporting and presenting finished work

Built for photographers who learn by doing

This is the kind of Adobe guide that rewards active use. Instead of staying abstract, it follows the real sequence of decisions photographers make: sort, select, adjust, refine, retouch, and share. That makes it especially useful for beginners who want a structured start, as well as working photographers who want a refresher on current Lightroom Classic and Photoshop tools.

Official Adobe training, presented clearly

Because this title comes from Adobe’s Classroom in a Book series, it carries the straightforward, workshop-like tone that many users value in software training. The content is focused on practical application and current creative workflows, not on theory for its own sake.
