Adobe Education Technologies

First off, if you haven't read Terry White's technology blog, you should surf on over and have a look (link to Terry's blog).

Terry has been covering technology for a long time, and has some interesting perspectives on its use. He will often tell you that he doesn't just work here at Adobe (he is a Director in the Systems Engineering group, helping us to better connect our workflow to your issues), but he is a true fan of the software we all promote under his guidance.

During this week's blog, I want to highlight his evening-with. Tomorrw night (April 28th), Terry will offer an open web session to cover his Lightroom workflow, and if you are looking for a real world example of a digital photography workflow, check this session out. Read on for the details:

An Evening with Terry White - My Lightroom 2 Workflow

I will take you through my Lightroom workflow from start to finish. We’ll even detour over to Photoshop for a quick portrait retouch. You’ll see how I bring my photos in, organize them in catalogs, pick my favorite ones, bounce over to Photoshop as needed and deliver proofs and the final images to the client.

 

When and where? R.S.V.P.?

 

This second evening will be Tuesday, April 28th @ 7PM E.T. and it will take place via Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro. Here’s the URL: http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/eveningwithterry

 

Sign on as a GUEST with your real name. While there is no pre-registration required, this session will be limited to 100 attendees. So it’s first come, first served. I advise you to log in 15 minutes before the 7PM start time as I plan to start on time.

After importing photos into the Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer you may need to make adjustments to ensure your photos look their best. You can quickly and effectively resolve common photo issues with a single click of a button. Simply choose the purple Fix tab located in the upper-right of your screen.

Select one or more photos in your organizer and then choose a Fix button. Not sure which button to click?

• Auto Smart Fix analyzes photos and corrects problems commonly caused by poor exposure, contrast, color balance, and color saturation
• Auto Color analyzes photos and corrects common problems in color balance, such as the greenish tint in photos taken under fluorescent lamps, or the bluish tint in photos taken outdoors while using indoor-lighting camera settings
• Auto Levels analyzes photos and corrects common problems in luminance, such as the lack of detail in photos that were under- or overexposed
• Auto Contrast analyzes photos and corrects common contrast problems, such as the lack of distinction between bright and dark areas
• Auto Sharpen analyzes photos and corrects common focus problems, such as blurriness caused by poor camera focus
• Auto Red Eye Fix finds red pupils in photo subjects and changes them to a natural black
• Crop opens a dialog box where you can define and remove unwanted portions of a photo, and you can also rotate photos here

Along with quickly applying changes to your photos, these buttons also protect your original photos by creating an edited copy. Both the original photo and the edited copy will be stacked together into a version set in the Organizer.
