I've long been a student, if not a practitioner, of Zen Buddhism, so the title of this book certainly caught my attention. I'm disappointed to say that, other than the title, there is nothing of Zen in this book. What is here is a good introduction to digital photography post-processing.
The book instructs on the use of Adobe Lightroom to catalog, process and make adjustments to captured images. Even though Lightroom alone will satisfy many photographers' needs, its ability to make local adjustments is limited, so the author describes how to make those adjustments in the far more powerful, but more complex, Adobe Photoshop, using layers, masks and retouching. He gives a brief tour of available plug-ins and then finishes up by showing how to use Lightroom to get one's images before others.
The book is presented in such a way that the beginner can read just the Lightroom chapters. Then, if and when the photographer is ready for the stronger power of Photoshop, he or she can move on to those chapters. When it comes to plug-ins, which allow specialized treatments within the Lightroom and Photoshop realm, he explains what the major plug-ins do to help readers decide whether to explore them.
Fitzgerald won my heart when, in his discussion of keywording, which is a way of marking an image file for convenient recovery, he discussed dealing with `ghost keywords', which are mostly a form of duplicate identifications. There probably are photographers who have never encountered the ghost keyword problem, but not most mere mortals. Yet this is the first book that I've encountered that discusses this problem.
Both Lightroom and Photoshop offer many similar ways of dealing with post-processing, and Photoshop contains many tools that a photographer will never use.
