We’ve been hard at work and have a brand new book for you (and it’s totally free until February 14, 2016).
Are you tired of spending too much time looking for your photos? Have you over lost track of some of your photos and felt totally stressed out? While Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a great tool to develop your photos, it also serves another important purpose keeping your images organized. But how you go about this process is pretty complex.
The new book is called Get Organized in Lightroom. In its 212 pages you’ll find practical advice and expert tips. Five experts from Photofocus: Kevin Ames, Rob Sylvan, Levi Sim, Vanelli, and Nick Minore share some of their favorite techniques to import, organize, and tag photos. They share ideas and best practices on how to keep an organized photo library.
The book is a $19.99 value, but is free until February 14, 2016 thanks to our friends at Drobo. They offer some of the best storage on the planet that’s ready for a giant photo library. In fact we’re even giving away a Drobo right here.
To get your FREE download, pleas subscribe to our newsletter using the button below.
Once you have confirmed your subscription, you will receive a link to download the file.

To get started, take an in-depth look at the Lightroom library. Next, you’ll gain important insight to get organized. For photographers on the go, you’ll learn strategies for working with Lightroom while mobile. To get your library to a manageable size, you’ll explore important strategies on making selects. Finally, learn the secrets of top gurus to solve problems when your library grows and becomes difficult to manage. This in-depth guide is from the experts at Photofocus.com.

Nice book. However, it could have used a “Table of Contents.” (An Index would have been nice also.)
The iBooks version has all that. just choose it from the top.
Alas, I am without an iOS device.
You can see page lists in most pdf readers.
I’ll try to update the PDF in the future with a deeper TOC
iBooks also runs on a Mac….
When I tried to download the PDF, it just sent me to some LinkedIn slideshare thing that wouldn’t let me save the actual file.
That is merely a preview of the book… Click the giant orange button on middle of page and sign up for our email list please and you’ll get the book
I did sign up for the mailing list, but when I got the link, it only sent me to the slideshare preview, not the downloadable PDF. Do I have to sign up again?
