Is Kelby's Lightroom book any good? Does he again write as if his readers are barely more than trained apes?

It is pitched at Americans!

You can get rid off Moirse in Lightroom



.
I'm a lazy and simple tog, however. It's bad enough having to buy the kit then take it somewhere to use it!

In extreme I just want to compose the shot then let the camera do the work. If it gets it wrong, then I expect software to correct the problem with just one click of a button

MattMatic - lens is DFA 100mm WR macro, so I hope I can't do better, but body is K20D, so could be time for a K-5 II(s?).

SnoozeMoose - PSP x2. Tried to load it up again, but despite being a full retail version I keep getting a 'Trial version licence expired' message. Waiting for Corel tech support to come back to be. To the best of my knowledge full retail licences don't expire.

Both - LR is v3, so again, could be time for an upgrade.

Thanks all for your suggestions so far.

Re your comments SnoozeMoose, the trouble is I seek out high contrast shots being a great fan (but poor practitioner) of contra jour .

MattMatic - too much PF in my shots, and too little patience I'm afraid.

I'm really looking for a silver (purple:lol bullet solution that'll sort it out across the entire shot with one press of a button.

As said earlier, there was such a button in PSP X2, so why can't Adobe do it?

LR4 has two methods. Under the Lens Correction section, a simple tick in a box gets rid of most of it. If there is any left, just clicking on it with the eye dropper gets rid of it well. And it can be used multiple times
Thanks Alan, but it's not a feature in LR 3 through. The CA adjustment doesn't seem to have an affect.

I used to have Paint Shop Pro X2, and that had a simple 'PF removal' button, which is ideally what I'm after.

Anyone tell me how to do this please, using either of these two software packages (or something else if they won't do it)?

thanks.
