I’ve been using Lightroom since Lightroom 3 and just upgraded to the classic and online versions. I was wondering if anybody could recommend a book on these new version of Lightroom and Photoshop. I am pretty proficient in using the old Lightroom but not sure of all the new features inthe new additions. I really have not use Photoshop much previous to this. Thank you for any input. Hope you all stay safe and healthy. Have a good holiday

Have you checked out the online tutorials that Adobe has for free?

Can't think of any books, but go to you tube and check out Matt Koskowski he has some excellent videos and he is easy to follow and understand.

The problem with purchasing a book on Lightroom Classic (or any Lightroom or Photoshop version) is that Adobe updates the programs with new features so frequently that a book is out-of-date in a matter of months. I would recommend watching YouTube videos or some other online training to get the basics of the newer versions.

This also leads to tutorials and more info than you can digest. Hint: don't use your browser back button, instead use the home button at the top of the window to get back to the table of contents.

Go to the Help menu at the top of LR and click on Lightroom Classic Help. There is not a direct line to the Help Manual but the link does offer a lot of other help, including updates to the software, and if you figure it out, a link to a Help Manual. This may be the best bet for you as you already know, as you've said, most of the program. There would also be a PS manual.
