I have a LR3 Kelby book and not too thrilled with it so looking for either a book, DVD video or online video to really learn lightroom 4 what are your favorites?

The Luminous Landscape guide is quite good:

They just finished it so the price just went up 25%. But you could buy just the "Advanced" videos for a bit less. Michael and Jeff definitely know their stuff w.r.t Lightroom.

Thanks for the indo I willkeep it in mind. I ordered Lightroom 4: Streamlining your Digital Photography Process by Nat Coalson

Martin Evening's books are quite good-- more of a reference work than the Kelby stuff.

If you don't mind electronic books, Google Play has a couple going for a penny each (in the UK - not sure if prices are similar in other countries):
https://play.google.com/store/books/...=search_result
https://play.google.com/store/books/...=search_result

They do have DRM on them, but Google search is your friend ;)

Ditto on the Luminous Landscape videos.

Very detailed and amusing to watch.

Not that I can contribute much to the discussion but I've bought books for both CS? and LR? and I never seem to get around to reading them. Then again I've always found things much easier to learn by watching and doing things than reading about how to do it so I'd vote videos.
