  82. Thanks for the contests. I’d love the Lightroom 4 Book or DVD to help me get my head around using Catalogs and Libraries with external hard drives.

  90. Great prizes this week.  I wish I could win.  Whoever wins will be very happy.

    FYI — this is one of the few blogs I check daily!!! 

  107. Would love to win any of the prizes…the spiral bound book, or either DVD! Looking forward to attending Matt’s LR4 seminar in Lansing!

  115. I have soooo much to learn and Matt’s Lightroom would be very helpful, especially since I live in a very remote area of Pennsylvania.  I haven’t been able to find any photo classes locally or even a photo club.  So I am on my own and any of your materials would be very useful.

  128. I would love to have a copy of the LR4 book.  My 14yo daughter is beginning to use LR and she & I could use a good reference.
    Thanks!

    P.S. Still lovin the Jay Maisel DVD

  133. Mr. Kelby I’m amazed at how you still make time to give back with your busy schedule. Your Lightroom 4 book would make my guessing work a lot easier. Thank you.

  141. I make a promise to myself now not to upgrade any software without also buying Scotts book on the subject, as without it I’m at a total loss! 
    And theres no way Im upgrading to Lightroom 4 without your LR4 book! Thanks Scott

  170. Enter me for Scott’s spiral bound Lightroom 4 book – I’m attending Matt’s seminar in DC, so the book would be a great learning help after that.

  182. Lightroom 4 Book – Spiral Bound or Matt’s DVDs would be great. I watching Matt’s Lightroom 4 in depth on Kelby training. Great stuff!! 

  197. Would love the Lightroom Crash Course DVD…. although I have I’m getting pretty good at crashing and burning ….  (or maybe a ticket to Matt’s class in Richmond, VA?)….

    Thanks for all the great tutorials and training…

  200. I’d love to get my hands on a spiral bound book.
    Have thought of buying one earlier, but have been late to the game and missed out as of yet.
    Keep up the good works guys!!!

  201. wow, I’d love to boost my photography skills at the Google+ conference! and how serendipitous that it’s in my hometown! thanks for the info and for the chance to win a free ticket!

    Really enjoy being a NAPP member. I would like to have either of Matt’s DVD’s, What’s new in Photoshop CS6 or Lightroom 4 Crash Course.

  233. Hi Brad, I would love to get a copy of the spiral bound version of Scott’s LR4 book. Check back on the original posting on 5/4/2012 and you will see I was the first to ask about the availability of this item.

  259. I haven’t upgraded to either Lightroom 4 or CS6.  I’m debating a system switch before I replace my computer.  But learning a little beforehand never hurt anyone.  Please put my name in the hat for the CS6 dvd, the Lightroom 4 Spiral book, or the Lightroom 4 Crash Course dvd.  Thanks guys!

  279. What would be better than a copy of Scott’s spiral bound LR4 book.  Nothing!!  But maybe a business card and Swedish Fish is just the ticket to win…….

    Yup that was me at PSWDC.
