I’m proud to say that after months of work (and some unreleased updates) that the 3rd edition of Essential Development is now available. It’s been a long journey to this point, but that’s only half the battle. All the marketing has still to be done, including this one. On the newsletter I had a survey for the cover image and this one of Loch Ba on Rannoch Moor was the winner by a comfortable margin.

Here’s the site blurb on this book.

Essential Development 3 is the brand-new edition of this much-loved and well-received book on Lightroom Classic's Develop module. At 174 pages, it's an extensive update and rewrite of the original 120-page book. Covering the major aspects of Develop from the Histogram to Advanced Masking, it also includes the most recent features of Lightroom Classic including Lens Blur and Point Color.

With over 25 chapters, the book will increase your knowledge of editing in Lightroom and help you get the most out of your photos. The book is aimed at beginner to intermediate photographers, but contains extensive shortcuts and hidden features that have impressed experts in the past. All text and screenshots have been updated, reflecting the more modern text and design of the latest version.
