that is a very common problem students have - I tend to answer questions like 'where is my work?' either on lightroom / InDesign / Premiere about 3 times a week... problem with them is people are never told these programmes don't actually embed anything until you tell them to - export / package. Saving means very little to the actual project / file.
I don't think I will be doing any step by step paper this time, too much time involved and students don't usually read more than half a page anyway... thinking about freestyle it a bit, but still have to have a list of 'I must not forget to mention' stuff. Almost forgot to tell a student last week to save her catalogue <- very imortant when you work on shared computers.

Biggest thing I found with lightroom/photoshop was working out the basic process/structure behind it. I.e to do anything you need to import it, which puts it here, and then you do this... and on, and on. Ditto layers. Drove me nuts at first. Once I'd worked that out it's easy enough to figure out the edit buttons... but that first bit.
If you fancy trialing tutorial papers send them this way. Still think I'm missing a couple of bits.
