What did you like? What would you change?

10. *Where to Start?
*Pick where to store your catalog
*Defaults is “Lightroom 5” main Pictures folder. C drive
*Recommend external HD for desktop or laptop
*You need to backup your catalog
*Another HD, online service – DO IT
*Create folders – I store my edited images on a different
drive
*How will you name them? I use camera file and date

11. *Workflow - Capture
*RAW vs JPEG
*Great Images in are better in Lightroom
*Proper exposure
*Correct White balance
*Do NOT over expose
*Better images take less time to process, you will appreciate
it if you are shooting a wedding!

12. *Workflow - Import
*Adding images to Lightroom is called Importing
*Insert Memory Card – LR reads this first
*Import all (even bad images) or select images you want!
*What do you want LR to do with it once you import it?
*Do you want to leave photos where they are…or
* Move them to a new location?
*Apply presets to the imports is an option
*Add your existing photos to Lightroom
*Just select the folder and sit back!
*Add MetaData is is your image fingerprint

13. *Workflow - Import
*Lightroom Workspace or Interface
*Press J to Cycle Through Options
*Other Options Flag, Stack or Star
*Rating images saves time!
*Delete poor images NOW
*Loupe Mode
*Largest Mode – Great for editing
*Survey Mode
*View many images at once. Great when they are similar
*Compare Mode
*Compares two images in great detail. Choose before moving on

14. *Workflow - Collections
*I love Collections – Use them!
*Collections are a way of grouping images without moving them
around your hard drive
*Collection Sets (Main Folders) Collections (Sub-Folders)
*Smart Collections – You create the criteria, it stores them for
you – 3 star or better, etc.

15. *Workflow – The Develop Module
*Work top down in the basic panel - Tone
*Check Histogram
*Clipping Indicators – Turn them on – Shortcut – the “J” key
*Skip Cropping now-maybe-unless you will edit for an exact size
*White Balance - Auto, dropper or other
*Exposure – Do NOT over expose
*Clarity – Adds detail; Add a little for close portraits, a lot
for groups or building
*Highlights –Affect light area, move left to darken them
*Shadows – Affect dark areas, move to right to lighten
shadows under eyes

16. *Workflow – The Develop Module
*Work top down in the basic panel - Presence
*Contrast – Use if the image looks flat or muddy
*Whites and Blacks are for fine tuning – eliminate clipping
*Vibrance – Is a smart tool that increases the intensity of
muted colors and leaves well-saturated colors alone.
*Saturation – Bumps up intensity of all colors…and reduces
them all too! Be easy here.
*Remember Snapshot and History…use them!

17. *Workflow – The Develop Module
