It was like 30 bucks and I got it in a few days. Could barely drag it up the elevator. Almost like the old days. But in full black and white not color and not always having page numbers. Its like they're not quite done with it. Not quite slick. But printed in very heavy paper. I have spend way too muchly money on computer books I've not really paid enough attention too afterwards. But consider it a basic investment. As of late I've bought basic web design books. I got a bunch of videos on Lightroom one but didn't look at them. So much for dyslexia. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: Frank Filippone <red735i@earthlink.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 3 Aug 2008 11:17:08 -0700 > To: 'Leica Users Group' <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: RE: [Leica] Lightroom 2 > > Nathan... you may be right, but if I cannot figure out ( intuitively) how > to > crop..... or WHERE to find the crop tool, it is more difficult to accept > using the tool. > > Sure, I could look it up online each time I wish to try out something new, > but that gets real old, real fast.
