CARD READERS!

Card readers are attached to your computers!

Please do NOT move monitors or try to detach!

On each computer, the reader is located on the LEFT bottom corner of the monitor. When inserting a card, the label faces AWAY from you!

Each day when you arrive, pay attention to all items on your station: Mouse, Keyboard, Card Reader, etc.

If anything is missing or damage, tell me immediately! (or the next student will!)

Learning about Adobe Bridge and Photo Storage!!

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Adobe Bridge and photo Storage!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Adobe Bridge is a powerful creative asset manager that lets you preview, organize, edit, and publish multiple creative assets quickly and easily!

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will perform a series of lessons and we will create our yearbook!!

Adobe Lightroom vs Adobe Bridge

Lightroom is geared towards photo editing while Bridge can be used as a multi-purpose file management tool

We need to manage our files!

While the camera gives a unique file name to each photo, it can be hard to find just what we are looking for when building the yearbook.

Today you will be given a SD card...

Insert SD card into reader...

On each computer, the reader is located on the LEFT bottom corner of the monitor. When inserting a card, the label faces AWAY from you!

What is Culling?

Photo culling is the process of selecting the best images from their photo session by: going through all your images from a shoot; identifying the winners of the lot; discarding duplicate, blurry, and over- or under-exposed photos; and then marking them for the next step in the post-processing workflow — editing.

Typically, the person who shot the event will cull!

On the top tab,

Click the ellipsis (...)

Select Open in Sharepoint

Here you will see the files you put into Teams

Click the FIRST IMAGE
