^ cool shot, where is that?

Nice shot and good work with the hunts.

Really great, this is spot on.

Cheers! Just snapped it on my phone. It's the staircase at the back of Heals on Tottenham Court Rd.

Thanks!

this window display one, it's pretty sick

I need to pick your brians folks. I need to put together a workshop in basic photo editing using Lightroom and probably crossover to a bit of Photoshop. What shall I include? Other than the basic how to import through Library, an overview of the Develop mode, a quick introduction of various different export format - when to use tiff, when to use jpeg etc... how to make a contact sheets (students love that stuff), anything else?

I have about 10 days to put it together and need to deliver it before end of this month before I leave my current post. I usually only do reactive teaching so am very good at answering questions but I don't usually do workshop so I am in a bit of a pickle... Any suggestions would be graefully received.

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.

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.

Dunno any brians but ...

Intro stuff ... organising/naming folders on hd, converting from shitty proprietary filetype to dng, an overview of raw and explain that LR creates virtual files: you call them 'project files' — that may be the correct term.

Some important things for workflow are stacking, quick collections, flags, filtering views and making collections, 'edit in PS' and virtual copies. And sending to an external backup drive.

They'll probably want to dick about in edit with all the sliders, but that's not gonna be the best use of your time.

Tethered shooting too? I've never actually use LR for this but that might be quite useful.
