Learning Target:

• I can create a new catalog for Lightroom.
• I know how to import photos into Lightroom.
• I know how to perform basic edits in Lightroom.

Steps:

1. Strong goes over creating a new catalog in Lightroom.
2. Strong goes over performing basic edits using Adobe Lightroom.
3. Strong goes over the first Photo Challenge, The Decisive Moment.

Next Step:
Make photos for the Decisive Moment Photo Challenge.

For today’s activity we will be setting up our computer to work with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. By the end of the period you will have a set up where you will be able to edit each photo you take.

REMEMBER: You will need to repeat this step EACH TIME YOU MOVE SEATS.

Step 1: Create Folders on Your Computer.

Step 2: Go to the F: Drive of your computer. Right click on the white space and create a folder called “Catalog.” This is where we will be creating our catalog to use in Adobe Lightroom.

Step 3: Open up Adobe Lightroom on your computer by going to the windows sign and choosing Adobe Lightroom from the list or type in “Light” into Cortana at the bottom left of your screen.

You will get an error message that says it cannot create a catalog. Click “Create new Catalog.”

Browse to the Catalog folder under your name on the F: Drive. Type the name “Catalog” into the Name field and click create.

This will create our catalog file.

DO NOT MOVE YOUR CATALOG FILE OR ALL OF YOUR PHOTOS WILL APPEAR TO BE DELETED.

Lightroom will now open.

Step 5: Strong goes over importing and editing photos. Import one of your favorite photos from the alphabet project.
