From there, he tackles the unique challenges of portrait photography. You'll learn about the amazing power built directly into Lightroom's tools as Martin instructs you how to harness Lightroom's toolbox to make fast, accurate corrections and enhancements to your portraits.

Next Martin steps things up by focussing his attention on indoor studio and outdoor photography. You'll learn to utilize Lightroom's new automated capture and synchronization abilities and you'll also get some of his favorite Lightroom recipes for boosting color and lighting!

Martin ties it all together with a section demonstrating how well Lightroom plays with other apps. You'll see how to integrate Lightroom 4 with external image editors and sister products like Adobe Photoshop.
