I would like to purchase your book as a gift for someone. How do I do that?
Thanks for your question Lory.
Just click on the highlighted “35% Off Landscapes inLightroom 5” link at the top of this post and it will take you to the buy page for the book. Then click on the “Add to Cart” button below the “Gift Coupon” and make your purchase. We’ll then send you a code for a free LR5 e-book right away that you can give to whoever you choose. We’ll also send you a pdf gift certificate showing the cover of the book and a message from Michael to you email address, that you can then forward to your recipient with the code and your own personal message.
We tested the checkout process late last night (or was it this morning? ;-)) and it should work easily, but I’m here for you if you have any questions or run into any bumps in the road.
Thanks again! Claudia
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m very thankful for the Lightroom ebook sale – just purchased the Photographers’ CC package, and have only used ACR so far, so I’m looking forward to starting in Lr with your assistance.
Would love to purchase the Yosemite guide if it’s ever available for us PC based peeps. 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving to you Joolz! And I’m glad this is a timely sale for you. Since my ebook focuses entirely on Lightroom’s Develop Module, you might also want to get a book that delves into the Library Module and some of the other aspects of Lightroom, like Piet Van den Eynde’s Lightroom 5 Unmasked:

I also like Martin Evening’s Lightroom 5 book:

PC-based peeps can use The Photographer’s Guide to Yosemite app, they just need an iPhone or iPad. 🙂
hi, in your latest book on lightroom you write that the settings to get the values of the neutral exposure and contrast we need to set -1 and -33 …… this means that we have to overexpose a stop when shooting? thanks
Thanks for the question Antonio. No, you don’t have to overexpose by a stop when in the field. Exposure in the field and the Exposure slider in Lightroom are only loosely related. I actually don’t pay much attention to light meters in the field, or whether the meter says the photograph is overexposed by a stop or underexposed by a stop. I use the histogram and blinkies to judge exposure. I talk about that in this blog post:

I’ve also written an ebook about exposure that you might find helpful.
