Written by our instructors Steve Laskevitch, Jason Hoppe, and Ben Goldsmith and published by Rocky Nook, the books in this new series contain a full course and a comprehensive reference. The step-by-step lessons, based on Luminous Works' curriculum, cover the software's features in practical contexts and demonstrate best practices and workflows. After completing either a book's course or one here at Luminous Works, the Compendium will serve for years as a trusted reference.
In 2022, two more books will joint the series. Author Jeff Carlson will add a Lightroom book, and Instructor Ben one on After Effects.

Ben Goldsmith’s new book allows you to tell your story. Like Ben's Premiere Pro classes at Luminous Works, his book is a full curriculum from the basics of video editing through advanced and practical techniques and has a comprehensive reference as well.
Luminous Works students are invited to email their instructor with questions that arise after the course is over. Since many of you may benefit from the answers we've supplied over the years, we built our Q & A page as a resource. We've just begun the process, so check back periodically as the list of questions grows.

What was it about? Well, Photoshop users learn early that erasure is an act that leads to regret. But the program has as many ways to hide stuff as a Cold War-era spy. Rocky Nook, the publisher of Steve’s Photoshop: Course & Compendium book (shown below), hosted this masking webinar with Steve. Spend an hour learning masking methods you might need but don't know. Look for the guy in the Panama fedora...
