Only available for Mac’s? Seriously?
Did you bother to scroll to the bottom of the post? The whole book is embedded as a read only file. And on scribd.com. Read before you overreact.
Did you not read the post? “This version doesn’t have interactive slideshows, resizable photos, or embedded video.”
Because there isn’t a tool for PC or android to offer one to you. Sorry 236 pages of free content offends you. Seeing that we’re giving away $150 worth of iBooks, you’re halfway to an iPad. Otherwise enjoy the free book and stop complaining.
Very sad only on the Mac. :(
Did you NOT scroll to the bottom. The whole book is embedded at the bottom of the post and can be read there or on scribd from PC, droid, Mac, or ios.
Thank you Richard and everyone at Photofocus. Also everyone at Mosaic.
It would be great to be able to enjoy this on a PC. A real pitty…
SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POST.
I did scroll to the bottom. What part of this do YOU not get. “This version doesn’t have interactive slideshows, resizable photos, or embedded video.” You can “Read” it but, cannot download it for offline reading or interaction.
The point is there are a lot of people who have something other than MAC enabled devices.
And as soon as there is a tool for making a version like that for PC or Android I’ll be all over it. But that software doesn’t exist. I’m sorry our generosity and free content offends you… feel free to read it in the web browser or use the Scribd app.
Thanks Richard, Photofocus and Mosaic! Hard to believe you’re getting trolled for giving stuff away…I guess it proves the old adage that no good deed goes unpunished :0) Keep up the great work!
Thank you for saying thank you. The writing team logged close to 400 hours making this book. Hard to believe how many complaints we get since we did release via both iBooks and Scribd. That means it works for all devices. Is the iBooks version better… yep. But that’s because there isn’t an enhanced EPUB standard that works on other devices or a tool that lets us create one.
This is a great book – even without the interactive stuff.Written in very simple,plain English I’ll be rating it in the store. And did I mention the price? It’s my shout till August!
Thank you Rob
Reblogged this on C&T Publishing Company.
My iPad shows downloading – for 36 hours. Please help.
I’ve restarted my iPad. I have the latest version of iOS and iBooks. I have 13G available. I’ve held the sleep/home buttons.
Still shows downloading.
Please help.
Try downloading on your computer or over wifi. The book is in very high demand (#35 on all of iTunes). They may not have enough instances on their server. It’ll catch up soon. Sorry
File in high demand. Very popular book. Try connecting to WIFI and give it another try.
Thank you for the book and for the hard work from you and the team.
The download was very quick when connected to my wifi connection.
Thank you again
Thanks for a great eBook Richard and team. Took overnight to download but definitely worth it. Thanks again team!!!!
Thanks for a great eBook Richard and team. Took overnight to download but definitely worth it. I’m an old hand at LR but always something new to learn and your eBook hits the spot. Thanks again team!!!!
I’m guessing that the free promo for The Basic Beginner’s Guide and Secrets of HDR are no longer available, since iBook is saying they’re not anymore. That’s a bummer, but I can still get the new one for free… if it ever downloads. Even on Wifi, it’s just sitting there. :(
It’s a popular book. Try buying on computer and syncing.
’m OLD school. I like to hold books. I downloaded this e-book to give it a try. While on vacation and sitting in our motorhome i started to read this, then I read something new and wasn’t aware off, so I thought, I’ll open up my Lightroom and check it out. Wow that was easy and fun. Read it, try it, learn it. What a great format. and it’s always on my computer along with Lightroom. This has definitely changed my way to learn. I am ready for the next book!
Thank you for creating and sharing this!
I’ve used LR for some time and consider myself a fairly good power user. So, I downloaded the book thinking “I’ll take a look but I doubt it’ll tell me anything”. I was wrong! Sure, there are the basics here for new users, but the authors’ experiences and know-how are here too which bring some valuable insight into the more subtle aspects of PP. There’s also a good smattering of short-cuts that I for one hadn’t found by myself. So, a great book guys and thanks for making it free! If you’re reading this post after the free period ends,… Read more »
