Very nice site!
@ Pierre-Olivier: sorry for the late reply: I just noticed this. There is overlap, of course. But they’re not completely the same: There is a section on black & white HDR in the eBook.

I propose not to wait until you get enough cash to order all you need! You should get the loan or just auto loan and feel comfortable
I just watched the rental on retouchPro web site of the live show you did a couple month back. Is there any advantages for me to purchase the ebook or the show covered everything?
Thanks.
I wrote a review of this book when it first came out and thought I should post it here. As an Aperture user I still found this book to be tremendously valuable. At $100 the value of this book is amazing!!

I finally figured it out. Not very intuitive or I’m a total loser when it comes to ipad apps.
I bought your eBook, but haven’t been able to find the iPad app. I keep getting sent to Craft and Vision on itunes, but cannot find the specific app to buy and download.
Hallo Piet, can’t wait to see the Book! am in Nairobi but no access to paypal, how can I pay the $5.00 to get access, pls help..an upcoming landscape photographer
Great book!
Very informative and educational but also real value for money.

This is extremely informative and well written. For $5 it’s incredibly good value too!
I’ve given an overview on my blog for anyone interested:

as you might already have guessed: most of the 100 pages include full-page pictures and full-page screenshots (often 1 page for every single step). Overall: nothing new under the sun – b&w with Lightroom has already been invented and described before ..
Great book and a wonderful way to learn about black and white conversions. I’m an Aperture users, but I liked the book so much, and there is so much there that’s not about Lightroom, that I wrote up a short “translation” of the tools to Aperture tools here:

Great value for a small price. For the beginner it represents a great introduction into the potential of the B&W conversion of raw files, while for the one who are not new to the subject it is great opportunity to take an insight into the workflow of a experienced photographer.
Personally I used to convert my pictures in photshop, and it a pleasure to discover that with lightroom or equivalnt softwares it is possible to achieve great results with less effort
I recommend also the previous ebooks on the same topic.
After afirst pass it’s awesome – really. Stands alone as an advanced guide to Lightroom. Also covers some PS, Nik HDR and Photomatix. Well worth the few quid.
Just read this and enjoyed it enormously. Certainly opened up some areas in Lightroom that I hadn’t thought of to enhance my Black & White images. Thanks
How much are the techniques covered applicable to other image software? If you do not have Lightroom how useful is the book?
Wonderful book! Incredible value, like all of Craft and Vision’s ebooks. Easy to read, well written. If you love black and white photography, this plus Andrew Gibson’s black and white series are a must read!
Nicely done! Not only does will it teach me more about digital black and white, but it will help me venture deeper into Lightroom, to places I have yet to discover. Keep up the great work!
Wow! 100 pages, and they all look to be very engaging. I’m looking forward to digging into this eBook. Thanks.
Great thanks!
One question: are there any downloadable images available to work trough the book?
“The power of Black and White in Adobe Lightroom & Beyond” is not a repetition or rephrase of other e-books. It talks in depth not only about creating exceptional black and white images. It shows in great detail how it can all be done in Lightroom (with a disclaimer that sometimes it is quicker/easier to use Photoshop :) ). Do not get discouraged by the 100 pages. This e-book is a great, light read with a lot of illustrations. And it is a very comprehensive guide on the still alive art of black and white photography. (This is just a fragment of the review I wrote on my blog. You can read it here: http://bit.ly/hRzFEL)
E-book is about 100 pages if anyone was wondering. So far it looks pretty promising, especially if you’re a Lightroom user like me. Thanks.
Instructive E-book, especially the “case” are always special.
Good luck with your e book!
Frederik
Thank you thank you thank you!
This is a subject I have been long waiting for to be covered. I can’t wait to read through this!
