Are Lightroom's controls fairly similar to Photoshop?

[.Greg 0]

I have bought a couple of tutorial books for LR but I am better with video training.

 

Would a tutorial like "Underwater Photoshop" be applicable to Lightroom?

 

I don't need it to be exact, just that it uses similar tools and layer controls.

 

Thanks

In my opinion no - Photoshop and LR are built on very different concepts.

 

The concept of layers/masking and channels are not particularly strong in LR while they are core in Photoshop.

 

Both products have strengths and weakness I oftem find myself wishing I had controls from the other product available.

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

Got it, will stick to basic LR tutorials.

Bang for your buck it is the way to go (LR).

lots of FREE to download iTunes podcasts on LR, either trawl through google or via the iTunes shop and subscribe. Couldn't be easier.

I installed Lightroom a couple of months ago and I never ever used it. I still prefer photoshop. That's what they taught us back in college. I'm not a fan of NEW things.

Lots of info is applicable, for $99 I've learned lots os things from Underwater Photoshop that is aplicable to Lightroom. Took a course on Lightroom From Jeff Mullins in Bali that showed me that 90 percent of what I want to do with underwater photos can be done quicker and easier in Lightroom.

Never let progress stand in the way of tradition.
