Learn how to edit photos using Lightroom and Photoshop techniques. In this class, you will learn how to edit a picture in Lightroom, and make collections. Collections are the best way to organize your photographs within Lightroom for quick access. They are much like simple folders within your operating system – you create a Collection and then assign images to it by drag-and-drop. It doesn’t physically copy the photographs within Lightroom or a hard drive but acts more like a shortcut would. You still have only one image in Lightroom even after copying it to a specific Collection (or several Collections) – it’s just that you can access it from different places. For example, if you have a Collection where you store all portraits, but also a Collection where you store all your B&W images, you could place a B&W portrait into both Collections. Also, if you select that image in your portraits Collection and then go to your B&W image Collection where it’s also stored, it’ll be already selected there as well. How to process and export the photos; Export Location – specify where you want Lightroom to save your images. File Naming – choose whether you want to rename the images on export or keep the original file names. In case you do want to rename images, there are several naming presets to choose from. File Settings – specify file format (JPEG, TIF, DNG, etc.) of exported images as well as quality. Image Sizing – if you want to export resized images, this is the best way to do it (for example, if you want to showcase your work on a personal blog, etc.); Specify dimensions Output Sharpening – apply additional sharpening to exported files. Especially useful if downsizing images on export or for print, where you’d want to slightly oversharpen the digital file. Metadata – specify how much and what sort of metadata will be stored with the image once exported. Then, finish the image in photoshop.
