Part TWENTYTHREE: Working For Yourself
Welcome to part Twenty Three of my Twenty part series on Becoming a Working Photographer! (Go easy, I was a theater Major, not a Math Major!)
In looking back I noticed a few missing bits, that logically, should fall much earlier in the series. Here, I want to cover some basic Lightroom including the Library and the Develop modules, and then step through the Import
Open Adobe Lightroom, and here's what you should see:
On the left, you have the Folders you have created in Lightroom, storing your images, within the Adobe Lightroom Library:
Across the top, you have your choice of a few different Modules within Lightroom:
Click Library module, and on the right, you have your standard Keywording lists:
Click Develop module and on the right, you now have your standard sliders for making adjustments within the image:
Within Library, on the bottom right, you have a button labelled IMPORT and now you see your choices.
Navigate to the folder either on your desktop, or within your backup drives, etc, and this is what you see:
I usually view each image at full size, and chose ONLY those images I want to work with within Lightroom. There are usually only 10 percent of my images that make it from the SD Card, to the Lightroom Import, and then, I cull even more after importing, and making a first look within, at a larger size.
Don't forget, within import, on the right, to select the destination, or create a new destination folder within Lightroom, for you to send your import to.
I realize this is out of order, and may be a bit confusing, but I wanted to capture the notes on How To as I am later, going to push it all out as a longer format publication.
