Photoshop Lightroom 2 Essential Training with Chris Orwig

This is sort of an experiment, I am not sure how well it will works. The problem is that it seems to open each link to a new page or tab, or it will change the page. Please comment bellow if you find the links helpful or you rather just look the chapters up than clicking on each chapter.

IF YOU USE THESE LINKS TO ACCESS THE INDIVIUAL TUTORIALS MAKE SURE THAT "AUTO PLAY CHAPTER" IS CLICKED ON. (This is at the bottom of the video viewing window). Notice that there is closed captioning as well. If you have trouble hearing it, click it on too.

This set of links are to be viewed either before or during class.

0. Introduction
1. Getting Started
2. (chapter 2 we only need the two parts below right now. You can watch the others latter.)
      Lightroom Modules
      Essential Interface Shortcuts

This set can be viewed on your own time... before the next class meeting.

Spring 2013: Photo I, II etc

Welcome to the Spring semester of Digital Photography. We are off to a little bit of a slow start here but we will be up and shooting in no time.

There have been a few emails about the book. There are 2 options both are essentially the same book the essential way is a little lighter, or rather has a few less chapters in it, but both cover what we will need for the class. The text book is primarily used as reference, if you have another photography text book, bring it in. It may be able to be used as a substitute.

Photography: the essential Way, by London, Stone, and Upton ISBN-13: 978-0-13-614276+8
or
Photography: Edition, by London, Stone, and Upton
The second option... 'Photography', is a more comprehensive book. I suggest the 9th or 10 edition of Photography. Earlier versions back to the 6th are suitable for the class but will not have or will have out of date material concerning digital cameras.

Purchasing these books: I suggest taking some time searching the web and buying online. I would supply links but the prices vary substantially. You will be better off spending 15 or 20 min searching for your self. NOTE: DON'T FORGET TO LOOK AT THE SHIPPING COST... things to good to be true usually are.

Just a reminder... Don't forget your memory cards for Tuesdays class. You will also want to get a small pocket sized notebook as soon as you can.

See ya Tuesday 3:15
