Trang 7Adobe Lightroom CC — a software developed by Adobe systems for photographers It is an excellent tool to manipulate and organize images Lightroom CC is an easy to use software that lets you import, manage, edit, and share digital photographs quickly and effectively
Here are some reasons to use Lightroom:
Specially built for photographers: Photoshop
has many features, but there are some
features you don’t need, such as 3D
rendering, vector graphics, video tools,
and so on These extra features mean more disk and memory space
Lighter processing: Lightroom works fineon
a lower end machine or laptop However, it will run better on a faster computer
Excellent image management: The import
feature in Lightroom can make duplicates
of your images — one for the catalog and another as backup, even when you are working with different image formats Applying metadata and keywords to your images on import is simple and even you can apply processing presets as well
Excellent searching and organization: The
Lightroom catalog is a database file, so it is easy to find your images using
keywords, or metadata such as ISO,
camera type, and so on It also lets you
to create collections making it easier to group similar images together This smart collection will automatically add pictures to the collection based on the criterias like metadata or keywords
Logical workflow: Lightroom has a modular
organization—Library, Develop, Slideshow,
Web, and Print are the seven modules in Lightroom You can only see the features that make sense for that particular
module, which makes Lightroom easy and
quick to learn and faster in performance
Compatibility and conversion: It uses the
same RAW processing routines as used
in Adobe camera Raw, it means most digital cameras are supported, and the conversion options provided have been through a good number of improvement
Non-destructive workflow: None of the edit
doneinLightroomwillpermanentlymodify the original image Regardless of the file type, all editing done in the Lightroom is
non-destructive The changes done are
either stored in an external XMP file, or
in the Lightroom catalog file as the list of modifications You can anytime adjust or undo those modifications
Virtual copies: Instead of creating a
duplicate of a file for creating a different version, Lightroom uses virtual copies, which are a list of adjustment instructions and a thumbnail image reducing the disk space
Compare images: Lightroom makes it
simple and easy to view similar images side-by-side for making selections or even you can view the same image in a side-by-side mode for evaluating your adjustments The most useful feature of the compare view is the ability to pick or select the better of similar images when doing a review of all the imported images Presets: Lightroom has presets, a feature which is absent in Photoshop They can
Trang 8
make spine go and can be easily modified as required You can also change presets by the type of adjustment such as black and white
presets, portraits, and raw pre-
processing Along with adjustment
presets, you can also create print
layout and output presets, which is truly a flexible tool
Process RAW files: Lightroom uses
the same Adobe camera raw engine found in bridge and Photoshop, only with a better interface and a much better design You can quickly adjust important settings
such as contrast, saturation, and
exposure You can also perform noise reduction, sharpening, add vignettes, split, crop, toning, apply creative burning, and dodging effects with adjustment brush

Trang 9Two Versions of Lightroom CC
Lightroom Classic CC (Desktop program)
Lightroom Classic CC is fully-featured desktop program Photographs are stored locally on your computer’s hard drive or external drive This version was formerly known as Lightroom CC
Lightroom CC (Cloud based)
Lightroom CC is the cloud based portable editing option which stores everything - photos, information about the photos, and all adjustments in the cloud As a result you can access all your work from any device - laptop, desktop, tablet, or smartphone that runs Lightroom
Trang 10Post-Processing Workflow in Lightroom CC
When starting to use Lightroom, the first thing you would think of is where to start? What to do first? How to organize the cat- alogs and keep them uncluttered? The answer to these basic questions can be very extensive, but here you will get to know the simple and basic workflow to get you kick started
The Lightroom workflow begins with _ finding images in your hard drive or memory card and bring them in Lightroom interface
Organize and choose images that you want to work with You can also add metadata and keywords which makes
it easy to search images
You can also rate and
Process
Crop, adjust, correct,
retouch, and apply effects to your images
Export your edited
images in a variety of
digital file formats
color code images
Lightroom CC Catalog
Acatalog in Lightroom Classic is a database that stores all the information of your
photos such as:
e Location of all the photos
* Records of every edits and adjustments
done to the photos
¢ Metadata like ratings and keywords you added to your photos to help you find or organize them
When you install Lightroom Classic, the software automatically creates the Lightroom folder within the Pictures
folder on your system By default, the catalog is stored in the Lightroom folder
In this folder you will find catalog file with
extension ircat and preview cache with extension irdata
When photos are imported in Lightroom Classic, alink is created between the photo and the record of the photo in the catalog Hence, when you perform any edits or add keywords to the photo it is stored in
the catalog as additional metadata
When working with photos in Lightroom, it never changes the actual photos Instead
it applies the changes, to a copy of the photo so that everyone can see them Creating catalogs
You can create separate catalogs for
different purposes, such as home photos
and business photos Even though you can create multiple catalogs, you can open only one catalog at a time in Lightroom You can also move catalogs and photos, put photosin multiple catalogs, and merge catalogs However, this should be avoided otherwise it will be confusing and links between catalog and photos may break

stores this file inside the folder named Smart Previews.lrdatd In this way you can disconnect external hard drive containing images and you can still organize and edit your photos in Lightroom When you
again connect the external hard drive,
Lightroom synchronizes the changes done to photos This option is most useful when you are travelling and do not want to carry your hard drive The size of Smart Minimal Pam One 2000100220001 121(- wˆ Rename Files Custom Name

Library Module Overview
There are two core modules in Lightroom CC: Library module and Develop module When you first launch Lightroom, it will take you to the Library module The main purpose of this module is to import and organize photographs All the photos we import appears first in the Library module You can then browse these photos, sort them, add ratings, and keywords to them With Library module, you can export images and also publish them on social media Library Filter Library Filter tab is used to filter and find photos Displays images depending on the view selected: Grid view or Loupe view Right Panel
The right side panels
is used to apply quick develop settings and add keywords & metadata The left side panels is used to navigate to source folders, collections and catalog You can also publish images to online
services
Displays thumbnails of images in your current Displays options related to the module you are in In Library module, Toolbar displays set of tools import folder related to organizational task such as ratings, changing the sort order, and comparing views

This first drop-down list which is the Search Target drop- down list allows you to search photos by keywords, filename, copyname, captions, title, or by EXIF and IPTC metadata Searchable EXIF option in the list is used to search photos
based on data embedded (such as filename, camera settings,
camera model, lens type, and so on) into the photo’s metadata by the camera
Searchable IPTC is used to search based on data (such as Creator, your address, caption, and image title) added by the
Overview of Various Panels in Library Window photographer Searchable metadata option is a combination of
EXIF and IPTC data
Any searchable plug-in field option is used to search based on the data added by any plugins you may have used IA) Any Searchable Fes Faename Copy Name Title Caption Keywords Searchable Metadata Seorchadle IPTC Searchable EXIF
