The Digital Workflow in Digital Camera Class

So here is your workflow for class- it is a very simple way to fix your photos.  I will tell you what actions you need to download/run in order for your photo to look great!!!

1-    Hook up your camera or reader to the computer.

2-    Download photos for your class to IPHOTO.  If you have photos on your card that you don’t want to download here is what you do:

a.     If the photos are in order click on the first photo-hold shift-click on the LAST photo.

b.     If the photos are out of order Hold the Command key and click on the photos you want to select.

3-    Rename events and keep your photos organized in IPHOTO.

4-    Open the photo you need in Photoshop- you can view your photo in IPHOTO and drag it to the PS icon at should be in your dock.

5-    Set up a plan of action- what needs to be done on your photo? 

a.     Cropped-what size?

b.     Lightened or darken?  All or parts?

c.      Color correct- is there a color cast?

d.     Are there unwanted things in your photo?

e.     Sharpened

6-    Crop your image to either 8x10 or 5x7- which ever you need to do for the assignment.
