Hey AJ, I don’t see an actual email address here so I’m using this form (I’d love to be able to email you directly if possible).

Here’s what we came up with; slight rewrite to make it more designer-friendly, and we did include AE but don’t expect a deep-dive. Maybe show something about motion graphics templates, etc.

Let me know if this is OK!

Hi Mr.Wood,

First, thank you for a great lesson yesterday. I really enjoyed being in your class. Second, is there anyway you could please send me some of the files from yesterday’s class? I was in L325 and could really benefit from extra practice.

Thank you in advance for your help with this matter.

Comment on Lightroom vs Adobe Bridge by Joey Tranchina

I find it useful to pre-sort, name & keyword images in Bridge
BEFORE loading them into my Lightroom catalogue.

It allows me to see my shoot quickly; to eliminate OBVIOUS rejects;
to access a coherent catalogue of consistent keywords for a wide variety
of subjects & to name my images in my way.

Bridge also allows me to manipulate a single image, without entering it
in a Lightroom catalogue, which can be helpful. After that, Lightroom
is great…

Hi,

Great video.
I have a question.
Is it possible to open multiple files in ACR without using Bridge?

Comment on RAW vs JPEG – Practical Use for Designers & Photographers by nctritech

Storage space is possibly the most compelling reason to avoid RAW shooting, even for less frequent shooters. For example, I shot about 20 photos today in RAW + JPEG and the RAW files took up about 480 MB. That’s an amazing amount of space for just a few photos, and for what benefit? It turned out that the RAW files provided nothing of significant value for what was being shot. RAW takes more space, takes longer to back up to another medium, is often shot with a complementary JPEG file anyway, and doesn’t necessarily benefit the photographer. Plus, while hard drive space is fairly cheap (two 3TB drives, one for storage and one to back up the other, costs around $200) the future is in super-fast solid-state drives, and those are far more expensive per gigabyte. RAW files aren’t as attractive if you’ve upgraded your laptop to a 240GB SSD and don’t want to lug around a bunch of external storage while in the field.

In reply to drew.

Drew,

You are correct, Photoshop CC allows you to use Adobe Camera Raw as a filter on a layer.

Thank you for this video! In photoshop, I’m working on different layers; is there anyway to open a layer in camera raw. I tired using ctrl-shift-A, but I think that only works in photoshop CC.

Comment on Lightroom 4.2 Update Available for Download by Stephen

AJ, I have looked at your tutorial for missing photos in LR / question marks an all. I have that situation after moving pictures from Picasa to an external hard drive, not thinking I was affecting my LR pics. The difference with my problem is that my LR thumbnails have the question marks, but are BLANK / no preview pic inside. Also some folders are completely gone. Library still shows the me metadata though. Thanks for any help you can lend.
