This complete training program from Adobe Press and video2brain combines over 10 hours of exceptional video training with a full-color 48-page guide to teach you the fundamentals of Adobe Lightroom 4 as well as the basic principles of image processing and management.
Award-winning photographer and teacher Mikkel Aaland walks you through the main features of the program, showing you how to import images, apply keywords, and create Collections; then moving on to the Develop module, where you use sophisticated controls to bring out the best in each image. Mikkel also shows you how to export your photos to print, the Web, or to other media. The course includes extensive coverage of what’s new in Lightroom 4 such as the Map and Book modules, and vastly improved image processing engine.
The lessons are wrapped in a feature-rich interface that lets you jump to any topic and bookmark individual sections for later review. Full-Screen mode provides a hi-def, immersive experience, and Watch-and-Work mode shrinks the video into a small window so you can play the videos alongside your application.
As with all titles in the Learn by Video series, the project files used in the lessons are included with the course, and interactive review questions help reinforce what you’ve learned. Selected videos are also provided ready to be downloaded for viewing on your iPhone, iPod, or other compatible mobile device.

Mikkel Aaland has created a very good introduction to, and overview of, the Adobe Lightroom 4 software. Each Chapter, consisting of multiple sub-chapters, explores aspect of the Lightroom 4 "Modules" - those portions of the Lightroom program that enable the cataloguing, processing or outputting of RAW format photographs.
The sub-chapters within each Chapter typically run in length from 4 minutes to 10 minutes a piece - each presenting an area in an easily digestible, focused manner. Each sub-chapter is also short enough to repeat immediately in the event that you want to reinforce what you just saw. Each is also sufficiently self-contained that you can review it weeks or months later without having to view the entire chapter in which the sub-chapter appears.
Aaland has a pleasant teaching style, voice and manner. He is clear and readily comprehensible. The DVD will leave you with a very good understanding of the overall operation of the program and how to use each of its modules. There is no surplus or filler in this instructional DVD - it is all useful information which is presented directly and succinctly.
It serves to note that the instructional style is a bit informal, however, a point for which I have seen Aaland criticized in reviews of his Photoshop program. For example, sometimes he dials in too much of a control and then has to back it out. While I understand the criticism, this "informality" did not bother me. It actually made the video easier to watch as it seemed more natural - as if I was sitting there with him rather than watching a more polished, but perhaps more sterile, presentation.
This is an introductory DVD, however, and not one which provides in-depth instruction in all regards.
