Scott Kelby LR4 vs LR5 - big difference?
I know there are quite a few Scott Kelby readers in here, so hopefully someone knows the series well enough to have an opinion on this:
My husband got me LR5 for my birthday last year. I am very happy: Up until now I have used open access software, and I still use GIMP for heavy editing, but for developing my raw files, LR5 was a huge leap forward.
I am sure I am not getting the most out of the program though, and so I put Scott Kelby's book on LR5 on my Christmas wish list. My brother, who usually buys very random presents, actually looked at my wish list this year, and got me - almost the right thing. SK's book on LR4.
Since I only know lightroom from the newest version, and I do not know Scott Kelby at all, I am not sure how serious this is. True to my brother, he forgot the book at home, and only got around to sending it to me last week, so I doubt it is returnable - and anyway I don't really want to return a gift. But I could still get the book on LR5 for myself - I planned to do that anyway if I didn't get it for Christmas.
Does anyone know how big the rearrangments / innovations / etc were between LR4 and LR5? And how about the books, are the changes from the LR4 book to the LR5 book mostly edition updates, or is it a genuinely new book?
Thanks for any input!
