Getting images from camera to Photoshop

Edit images in camera

0Turn on the camera0Press the view button to display images on LCD0Go through the images and delete any of poor

quality (out of focus, poor composition, etc)

** We don’t want to waste time uploading images that obviously aren’t strong images so we’ll edit first in camera…then clean off the camera memory card AFTER uploading strong images to Photoshop.But, never clean off card without first saving images to the laptop AND a thumb drive…better safe than sorry!

Resizing an image0 Open your image0 Go to Image/Image size0 Look at the size of the image and its resolution (probably around 59

inches but only 72ppi). We want to increase the resolution and decrease the overall image size for final output

0 Click off “resample” and you’ll see the top dimension highlighted now in blue

0 Change the top number to 4 or 6 inches (later with favorite images you want to print we’ll go up to 8x10)

0 Now click back on “resample” and you’ll move the resolution down from 712ish to 180 (later with favorite images to print we’ll go to 300ppi)

0 Go to File/Save as and name the image and save it to your “Digital Photo Class” folder…save as a jpeg (later we’ll save favorite images as both jpeg and tiff)

0 Save the folder to your thumb drive as a safety net (second copy)
