The response to my ebook and video package, Landscapes in Lightroom 5: The Essential Step-by-Step Guide, has been wonderful, well beyond my expectations. Thank you all so much for your support! I put a lot of effort into creating something that I hoped would be helpful to a lot of photographers, and it’s gratifying to see that this effort has been well received.
As an expression of my appreciation, I’m extending the discount codes for two extra days. Use the code lr520 and get 20% off the ebook package until midnight on Tuesday, August 6th Pacific time.
Also, I’ve created the free, bonus video tutorial above to go along with the ebook. It’s a tip about using the arrow keys in Lightroom to help speed your workflow and fine-tune your adjustments. I use the arrow keys all the time, and I hope you’ll find this technique helpful too.
Again, thank you all very much! I really appreciate all the positive comments you’ve sent me about the ebook.

Great tutorial Michael! I had no idea about using the shift key and alt key in combo with the arrows. There are all kinds of cool tricks hidden away! Lightroom is such a powerful program and it seems like I learn something new every day. And I have used it since version 2!
Thanks Michael! Yes, there are lots of cool tricks hidden away in Lightroom. 🙂
Michael you are the Lightroom Guru! This video tutorial is going to save some post processing time, but more importantly the ease of making smaller adjustments is really helpful. I often struggle with getting many of the adjustments right where I want them. You solved the problem! Thank you for producing the video and the new E-book is great. Well done!!
Thanks very much Marc! I’m very glad you liked the video and that it helped you solve a problem.
Thanks for the video Michael. It’s a wonderful tip because I never use those arrow keys (only the left and right). It’s awesome.
Thank you Maria!
Avez vous reçu mon commentaire: est il possible d’avoir une traduction en français de vos ebooks?
Merci.
Oui, je l’ai fait, et j’ai répondu. Malheureusement, nous ne prévoyons pas une traduction française.
Awesome video Michael! I’m Lightroom user since 1.0 but didn’t heard about some of this. Is there a lot of this kind of tricks in your book? Unfortunately I’m late for discount 🙁
Thanks Artem! The ebook is actually more about taking you step-by-step through processing landscape photographs, and the decisions you make along the way, rather than a collection of tips. There are certainly some tips in there, but that’s not the main focus.
Michael, I just bought your latest book today (albeit missing the discount). Of course I haven’t had time yet to go through it in detail yet. But I have scanned through it, and stepped through a couple sections. I really appreciate how you step through the workflow from start to finish, explaining not just what to do, but why. This enables the reader to apply what you’ve done to their own unique situations.
I’m looking forward to going through the material in detail. Thanks for all the effort you put into sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
Thanks for the kind words Bill, and I hope you continue to enjoy and learn from the ebook!
Hi, Michael
I really enjoy your blog posts and photos. I didn’t know about the up and down arrows. I have been using the left and right arrows which do work just the same if you first click on the slider. If you don’t click on the slider you move to the next or previous shot as you point out.
Thanks Pete! Hmm… I can’t get that to work. Do you mean click on the name of the tool and then use the + or – keys?
Hi, Michael
Thanks a lot for sharing these tips.
Some of the arrow tricks were new to me and I think they are very useful.
There is also a trick to avoid moving the mouse pointer each and every time you want to change a value. If you highlight or click and mark any value field, you can tab to next setting with normal tab button. You can also combine this with SHIFT-TAB to jump to previous value.
Thanks again!

You’re welcome Thommy, and thanks for sharing your tip, which I’m sure some readers aren’t aware of.
