1. Sort through the photos you have taken so far in this class. Use Adobe Bridge (as shown in class yesterday - or ask someone in the class who is familiar with Bridge for assistance - Brandon L., Anthony)
Create a Best of folder for whatever you are sorting through in your current folder.
Rate your best photos (star system) and move them (File - Move to) to your Best Of folder.
Some of you may be uploading today. Make sure you have images ready to upload by the end of the period.
Note for Lianah and Brandon S. - This link might help to convert your NEF files to JPG. But you can just focus on the jpg photos you have if it gets too complicated.
2. Edit your "best" photos in Photoshop (Elements, CS4 or CS6 - depending on what's available!)
Your edits should be minimal, (levels, contrast) but enough to improve any issues with contrast or exposure. Minimal cropping if necessary.
3. Save your edited photos with the following protocol:
EventName_# (1,2,3 etc.)_Photographer's Initials_OriginalFileName (DSC_0000).jpg
e.g. JrBVballvsRV_7_AD_DSC_1079.jpg
OR you can include more info if you have it such as a word like Action, Detail, Reaction etc. OR the name of the person in the photo!
HOW TO NAME YOUR FOLDERS IN THE YEARBOOK FOLDER
