Browsing through Amazon, I came upon this and pre-ordered it:
http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Negative-Processing-Lightroom-Photoshop/dp/0134033175/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426633506&sr=1-1&keywords=jeff+schewe (http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Negative-Processing-Lightroom-Photoshop/dp/0134033175/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426633506&sr=1-1&keywords=jeff+schewe)
Jeff, can you talk a little about what's new in the 2nd edition, or is most of it under NDA? Very cool image on the cover, btw.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've pre-ordered. BTW, Amazon.ca has a good price in CAD for those of us living here, considering the exchange rate.

Well, it's primarily an update based on new software...there will be some new tuts and images but it's really about the software.
Also, for several reasons, the ship date may slip. One of the reasons was health issues I had in Jan 2015 and the other reason is under NDA :~)

With all the changes to Adobe software, requiring more updated books, I sometimes wonder why authors aren't promoting an idea similar to the old Photo Lab Index. ;D

I hope it slips forward. I pre-ordered and see a July ship date.

Jeff,
I am sorry to hear that you experienced health issues in January, and I hope for a speedy and full recovery. Your mention of NDA and software issues for delay in the publication strongly suggests that LR 6 is in the equation. While some have preordered your new book, I will wait until it comes out to determine if there is enough new material to warrant adding new edition to my library. I did find the first edition to be a paragon of clear and concise writing. In this time of rapid change, I tend to buy every second edition of software related books. It's time for me to buy Martin Evening's LR 6 book when it comes out. I do presume that he will be updating it.
Best regards,
Bill

For those that own the original book, What is the print size like?
I'm 50 and do not wear glasses (actually have great eyesight for my age according to my doctor), but I recently purchased a D810 book that has text small enough that I struggle to read it or I have to use magnifying glasses. I miss the old 8x11 Amphoto books!

Very easy to read. You could also consider the Kindle e-book version which I assume will be available also for this edition.

Geez, Jeff -- I hope you're feeling better. Interesting about the other reason. I was wondering if there would have to be an arrangement to delay publishing until the software shipped.

January pretty much sucked. I went into the ER for a pain in the groin...it turns out I had an abdominal aortic aneurism that ruptured while I was in the hospital (by great fortune). I was out after 3 days after a minimally invasive procedure and went home. Those with medical knowledge knows this was a serious situation!.
I was home for 4 days until I felt shortness of breath where upon I went back into the hospital for what turned out to be pulmonary embolisms (blood clots on the lung). It was also serious...but had a procedure to reduce the clots which worked well (although the darn doctor took a sheep's clipper to my beard). But I spent the next few weeks dealing with the medical team trying to arrive at a proper medical prescription to deal with the fact that since my surgery (where they gave me the blood thinner Heparin) initial doses of Heparin actually made the blood clots worse...I was allergic to Heparin :~)
However, I have survived two serious issues (I now only have 7 lives left) and I'm working at getting back into a better condition. Walking on a treadmill (cause Chicago had a ton of snow in Feb) which was going well until I stubbed the heck out of a toe last week and could barely walk :~)
So, the publishers were nice enough to give me slack regarding the book which came in handy because all the rumored release date of LR 6 are totally bogus (for reason I can't mention due to my NDA of course).
While some have preordered your new book, I will wait until it comes out to determine if there is enough new material to warrant adding new edition to my library.
Yep, understood...and I'll try to add enough new stuff that will be useful to know due to new features & functions as well as stuff I've learned since the 1st edition came out!

Sorry to hear about your tale of woe Jeff.
I trust that you are fighting fit now with no long-term issues.

Well, other than the fact I will prolly be on blood thinners for life (hopefully not like Chris Bosh the pro NBA player from Miami that also had PE's) I will prolly be ok...I'm on a "Flexitorian" diet (means primarily plant based diet both with fish and even meat on occasion).
We all face challenges when we get old...at age 61, I'm paying for the extravagances of youth.
But I'm pretty motivated to last a while longer (even if it's only to be a pain in the ass of some people who really deserve it).

LOL!
Yes, actually having an attitude like that probably is an important as a bucket of pills.
(I am not dismissing the importance of medication here - I prescribe bucket loads of the stuff myself.)

Delete 'when we get old' - insert 'as we approach middle age'.
We're born in the same year but last time I looked I'm 38!
All best for a full recovery,

Hi Jeff,
May the next seven lives be long, healthy and productive.

Hiya Jeff!! I thought that red wine was a pretty good blood thinner :)
Seriously, best wishes for you going forward and do take care of yourself!

Jeff,
I am one of many “silent” readers here who have enjoyed and learned from your comments, your videos and books. So even though you don’t know me, I feel I know you in a small way from all you have shared. I was sorry to read of your health issues but really thrilled that you have made it through what I know have been very threatening situations. Speedy recovery, good health and best wishes!

Hi,
Pretty much the same way I feel. Jeff's videos have a real entertainment value!
Best regards

Hi Jeff--
Glad to hear you are getting better and wishing you all the best for a full recovery. Do consider taking some time out for yourself as I figure you'll be just itching to get back into full stride again. Your previous books were - for me - excellent! Can hardly wait for the next one to be released.

Holy cow. Good to hear you pulled through. Yes. Two very serious conditions. You were lucky to be in hospital for the aortic abdominal episode. I have family that have to do deal with that. Years ago my step father had it replaced with a plastic one or something like that. Maybe now they're carbon fiber and magnesium like nikon bodies? 8)
I've paid some price too, but it's genetic in my case combined with 'extravagances'...good food, some light exercise, always good for the body and mind. Thanks for that new word. Never heard of 'flexitorian'. Good food for me = as little processed as possible, or nothing packaged. While I used to be vegetarian, over years of trial and error I found with my doctor that some salmon and sardines helped naturally lower my cholesterol, so I stopped being vegetarian. Also, had major muscle problems with any pharmaceutical statins.
Each visit to the cardiologist now they always check my abdominal aortic artery (valve?) I've already got four stents in my heart, lots of time on the table for angiograms. Doctors not taking chances with me.
Looking forward to the updated book. Already have both the digital negative/digital print. Excellent books for me. Thank you, thank you.
Stay healthy...

Geoff,
I think you've expressed how many of us feel about this wonderful, irascible, erudite character.
Jeff, we love you, man! Be well, and thanks for all you've done for all of us is so many ways!

Thanks for the information!

Is there a possibility that the ship date (July) will be pushed up now that LR is released?

Jeff,
I'm sorry to hear about your setbacks. Take care and get healthy.
