Re: Lightroom: 2 preset questions

2016-12-09 by Myron Gochnauer

Reading this thread I felt like ranting a bit, but I'll hold it down to a few simple observations and a question:

The observations:
  • The Adobe help functions for Photoshop and Lightroom are seriously inadequate for quick information and guidance.
  • Help books for these programs have become an industry unto themselves. In attempting to be comprehensive most books make it difficult to answer specific questions that intermediate users, especially, face in the middle of a project.
  • Good help for computer programs *is* possible. Some are regrettably history - - the DOS word processor XyWrite’s early manuals were nearly perfect - - while others are limited to relatively small markets - - the text markup and formatting system LaTeX has a number of add-on help systems that are. . . well. . . helpful!

The question:
  • Is there a pop-up or add-on help system for Photoshop and/or Lightroom that any of you could recommend? (Something that does what Adobe should, but doesn’t, do. . .)
