Lightroom ClassicTips & TricksIntroductionThe Lightroom application allows us to look at, search, organizeand edit our photographs. It works with Photoshop to give us acomplete set of tools for our photographs. It can also be used toorganize videos for video projects. NOTE: This tutorialwas written for theMac OS.But the programshould look very similaron aWindows computer.There is a tabletversion of Lightroomas well - it offersfewer features than thedesktop version. This tutorial is designed to introduce you to Lightroom and giveyou a basic set of skills. As with Photoshop, Lightroom offers manymany features that are beyond the scope of this tutorial.It is NOT designed to detail every single feature of the program.IT is specifically written for Lightroom Classic 2019 and is currentas of May 2019NOTE: Lightroom now comes in two varieties.Lightroom Classic is for desktop based assets - your photosare on your computer or external hard drives.Lightroom (not classic) is for workflow where you storeyour images in the cloud. The two programs are NOTinterchangeable.This tutorial will look at these key features of Lightroom1. Importing Images from your camera2. Cataloging Images for archiving and organization3. Toning/Editing/Captioning Photos4. Sharing photos3updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & Tricks If you want tolearn more aboutLightroom one greatresource is Lynda.com.The site offerstutorials on a widerange of applicationsand is free to PennState students. Confused abouta Module?Help Module Tipswill offer some simpleguides and changesdepending on whichmodule you’re in.Watch this :57 videoto see how to accessthe help. Tools and WorkspaceLightroom Classic(from now on, when we say Lightroom know thatwe mean the Classic version) is part of the Adobe Creative Suite ofapplications. This means the look and interface will feel familiar as youmove from app to app, from Lightroom to Premiere to Audition toIndesign, etc.Lightroom is complicated. In some ways trickier than Photoshopbecause it does many different things.It is organized in two broad ways:ModulesPanelsModules There are seven Modules within Lightroom. Select theone you need based on what you want to accomplish. This tutorialwill focus on the Library and Develop Modules.LibraryWhere you’ll import, store and organize your photosDevelopWhere you can adjust and edit photosMapLet’s you see where your photos were takenBookDesign books for printing or making PDFsSlideshowCreate PresentationsPrintPrint or prepare photos for printingWebCreate Web galleries for uploading to a serverPanels are how Lightroom organizes its tools and controls. Bydefault you’ll see four panels set around the center display of yourimages. Watch this 1:24 video on how to adjust the Panel view4updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & Tricks By default Lightroomwill store your catalogin the Pictures folderon your computer.You can move yourcatalog. Shut downLIghtroom and dragthe folder from thePictures folder toanywhere you like.When you reopenLightoom you’ll haveto point the programto the new locationof your catalog. When you open Lightroom you should see something like this.Note that we are in the Library Module.CatalogWhen you first open Lightroom it will ask you to create a catalog.This is where all the information for your photos is stored.Lightroom does NOT move existing folders of photos. By default itdoes not make copies of existing photos. It WILL copy photos fromyour card or camera.It makes a catalog that you can search and organize so you can findyour photos.Typically you will have just one catalog for all your images. You cansort and organize within that one catalog.5updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & Tricks Remember toback up yourimages. If you’reusing LIghtroomto import fromyour camera youcan have it copyyour files to asecond location.Think aboutcreating aworkflow thatautomaticallybacks up yourimages.Have two externalhard drives, or useBox.com for oneset of backups. IMPORTANTA catalog is NOT the actual photos. Think of it as thetable of contents to a book or a catalog for a clothing store.The actual clothes are not in the catalog. The actual words ofthe book are not in the index.They are the guides that tell you what is in the book or store.A Lightroom catalog does the same thing. You can look atpreviews and metadata and even adjust your photos. But theactual files exist on their own, separate from Lightroom.Lightroom points to the actual photos. So that connection isimportant. If you move the photos Lightroom will not be ablefind them.Importing PhotosYou can import photos from an existing folder or hard driveinto Lightroom. By default this doesn’t copy or move thephotos, it simply adds their information to the Lightroomdatabase.You can also import from a camera, or SD card or smartphone. In this case, by default, the photos ARE copied to yourcomputer or hard drive.This makes sense. You want to get the image files off thecamera or phone or SD card and stored on your computeror external hard drive (or, ideally, both)To Import photos, click the Import button at the bottom left.6updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & Tricks If you’re importinga folder with subfolders make sureto click the‘include sub folders’checkbox.if you’ve selecteda folder and don’tsee any images inthe center panel it’sprobably becauseyou didn’t checkthe sub folder box. Set the Lightroompreference to‘show importdialog when amemory card isdetected’LIghtroom Preferences. GeneralThis is the Import Dialog box1. Select the device. In this example there is an SD card called ‘Untitled’ and an iPad. The SD card is selected and we see the images onthe center of the dialog box.2. If you’re importing from a device, select ‘copy’. You want to copythe images from the device to your computer or hard drive as well ascatalog the images. IF you were importing files that already existedon your computer you would select ‘add’ to add them to the catalog without making another copy.3. I recommend setting build previews to ‘Standard’ and selecting‘Build Smart Previews’ Smart Previews will allow you to work on animage even if the actual file is offline on another hard drive.You can make changes to the Smart Preview and then when youconnect the hard drive those changes will be applied to the actualfile. Pretty nifty.Select a destination for your photos. Find a system that works for you.7updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & Tricks Be organized at thisstep and everythinggets easier.Apply metadata –as much of a caption as you can.Organize your filesusing subfolders ifnecessary.You could createfolders by date orsubject. Whatevermakes logical senseto you. You can also select a second destination and have Lightroom make asecond set of copies of the actual image files. Definitely a good idea!4. Under Metadata, you can create a custom caption with yourpersonal information and have it applied to every photo. Add yourname, copyright information, etc to every image. Another smart idea.Metadata New will let you create a preset you can apply to everyphoto.OR, create a new preset each time and add more details about thatassignment. You could write the basics of a caption here and then lateradd specific details to specific photos.5. Typically you’ll import every image from a card or camera. But if youdon’t want to, you can uncheck images and only import the ones youcheck.Watch a 8:28 video on importing into LightroomUsing the CatalogOnce we’ve imported photos, we have a catalog. An index/view/catalog of all our photos.This is the heart and soul of LightroomNotice the settings in this sample CatalogWe are in the Library PanelThe display is broken into three columns.The first column lets us navigate to the images we want to view.In this case we are looking at a subfolder called Tuesday-Thursdaywhich is just one folder in the external hard drive that this catalog isbased upon.8updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & Tricks Switch between‘Grid’ and ‘Loupe’mode by double clicking onan image, or byusing the smalltabs below theimages or by usingthe quick keys: Gfor Grid view and Efor Loupe view. The second column is the image view. This is called the ‘Grid’view. Rows of small thumbnails. You can scroll up and down to seeadditional images.

Lightroom ClassicTips & TricksYou can search by attribute – color, rating, flags.You can search by metadata – any of the information contained inthe metadata field. This could be the kind of camera, the location, thedate shot, etc.The search options are located above the image(s) except for the attributes which are both above and below.In the example above, ‘Text’ Search is selected. You have multiple waysto filter a text search using the dropdown menus.Watch a 3:04 video on searching a catalog10updated May 2019

Lightroom ClassicTips & TricksNaming, Finding, Moving Photos & FoldersIt is very easy to move folders and images and rename themwithin LightroomLightroom gets very unhappy if you move or rename photos orfolders outside of the program.If you remember those two rules, you’ll find working with Lightroom ismuch easier.Within Lightroom you can drag and drop folders and photos fromthe Catalog column on the left.Rename a photo or folder.Right click on a folderand select ‘rename’.You can also simply clickand drag a folder to anew location.From the Loupe viewyou can drag a photo toa new folder.Select a file or filesfrom the grid and useLibrary rename tochange the file name.All of this is done within the LIghtroom program and makes Lightroom very happy.15updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & TricksIF you move a photo or folder while outside the program, Lightroomwill lose the connection to that photo or folder.You will need to reconnect the content with Lightroom.In this example, I renamed a folder outside of Lightroom.From Lightroom’s point of view, that folder is gone, missing, kaput. Itcan’t find it.Notice the question mark over the folder and the small box in theupper right of the thumbnail.Because I generated a Smart Preview when I imported the folder, Ican see the image. But the actual file is gone as far as Lightroom isconcerned.If you click the Locate button you can navigate to the newly renamedfolder and reconnect it to Lightroom.BEST PRACTICE: Move folders and photos and rename themwithin the Lightroom program. Make that your workflow to avoidproblems.Watch a 3:55 video on renaming and moving and reconnectingphotos and folders.16updated May 2019

Lightroom ClassicTips & TricksUsing Ratings and LabelsTo fully use the power of Lightroom you’ll want to be familiar withrating and labeling your photos. Quick Keys worthlearning:PUXP - flags a photoU - unflagsX - flags as reject0-5 - adds starratings6-9 - adds colorlabels The options and ability to customize Lightroom is almost overwhelming. Once you find a workflow that fits yours needs, and youbecome comfortable with the quick keys and options, Lightroom canbe a very powerful tool for organizing and finding your photos.Rating your imagesLightroom offers three ways to label/rate your imagesFlagsStarsColor LabelsYou can use these ratings any way you like. The most important ruleis to be consistent.Perhaps a Flag is any image you may want to use later.Stars could tell you how much you like it. Save a five-star rating foronly the best of the best.Colors could mean a particular use. Red for the web, yellow for family,etc.Or, maybe you want to keep it simple and only use the Flag rating.Or, you’ll find your own method. The quicker you can settle on asystem, the more valuable the rating system becomes.18updated May 2019

Lightroom ClassicTips & TricksCollectionsThink of Collections as virtual folders, another way to organize yourimages within Lightroom. Once nice featureof Collections is thatyou can reorderphotos by clickingand dragging withinthe Grid View You can also deleteimages from a Collection. Simply clickon the photo and hitthe delete key.The original file andfolder aren’t altered.The image is justremoved from theCollection. Collections are NOT real folders that exist on your hard drive. Theydon’t add file size or copy images. They are a way to view a particulargroup of photos within Lightroom.For example, you might have photos of your dog taken over manyyears and stored in many folders. You could create a Collection ofyour dog photos. The original files would remain. The Collection wouldjust let you view them all in one place.Create a CollectionSelect photos from a folder displayed in Grid ModeClick the next to Collections and Create CollectionGive it a name and click Create.Voila, you’re doneSmart CollectionsThink of Smart Collections as automated Collections. You can setthem up to collect together any photos with a particular attribute. Youcould, for example, gather all your three-star photos into a Collection.And anytime you rate a photo with three stars, it would automaticallybe added to that Collection.20updated May 2019

Lightroom ClassicTips & TricksEditing Photos Changes inLightroom arenon-destructive.Lightroom has it’s own tools for adjusting and toning photos. But youmay want to work in Photoshop either because:A. You are more familiar with PhotoshopB. You want to make changes that are only possible in Photoshop.This means if youchange the color,brightness, cropping of a photo inside Lightroom youcan always undo itat a later date.The advantage of Lightroom - one stop shopping. You can adjust andtone photos without ever leaving Lightroom.Pretty cool! The disadvantage is that Photoshop is a more powerful tool and noteverything you want to change is possible inside of Lightroom.Let’s look at some basic adjustments you can make to a photos insideof LightroomCaptionsCaptions are vitalCaptions give photo context and meaningThey explain what is happening in the imageThey give facts and details the image alone can’t explainThey are searchable - this is key.They make your photos more valuable22updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & Tricks Remember thatbasic captioninformation canbe applied to agroup of imageswhen you firstimport them intoLightroom.Captions are applied in the Library moduleSelect a photo and then click on the Metadata Tab on the right.There are many fields you can complete. All of this information isattached digitally to the image file - collectively this data is calledmetadata – it is data about data. Information about your photo.Basic facts aboutthe photos – who,what, where,where and why –can be attached toall the photos in asingle shoot.Then specificinformation can beadded photo byphoto. This information can be viewed in applications other thanLightroom - clients will be able to read your captions, Websites canimport it, etc.Develop ModuleThe develop module is where you’ll adjust your image - crop, tone,etc.Select a photo in the Library module and then click the DevelopTab23updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & Tricks THIS ISIMPORTANTLightroom is a verypowerful tool and youcan make all sorts ofchanges to your image.BUT, just because youcan doesn’t mean youshould.Changing the contentof a photo - removing something, changing a color or tone,distorting the image –changes the meaning.If you are a journalistthere are very strictethical guidelines thatlimit what you can doto a photo.But other photographers should be waryas well about alteringimages. Consider whyyou’re making changesand how people willrespond to a photothat no longer accurately represents thereality of the scene.Note the various panes in the Develop ModulePresets – Some prebuilt filter sets that you can apply to your image. Rollover a preset and you’ll see the change . Click on the preset to apply it to the image. Click the Reset button to remove thepreset.Filmstrip – all the images in the folder are visible at the bottomof the Module. Use the arrow keys to scroll through other images.Toning Tabs – Multiple options for altering and adjusting yourphotos can be found in the various tabs on the right starting withBasic.24updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & Tricks Not everything canbe fixed.BASICThe controls in the basic tab let you adjust color, brightness andsaturation.It is very importantto get a properexposure in thecamera. While Lightroom and Photoshop are powerfultools they are notmagic.Blurry photos can’tbe magically madeto be in focus orsharp.Highlights and shadow areas that aremissing details can’tbe fixed.“Fixing” a poor image has its limits. The original image is on the left.(The “Before and After” tab at the bottom allows you compare theimage as you tone it - a useful feature)The Basic panel is the first and primary panel you will use to adjustyour images. Often it will be the only panel you need to use.25updated May 2019
Lightroom ClassicTips & TricksLocal AdjustmentsYou may need to adjust part of an image - darken a sky, lighten aface, adjust the color in one area of a photo.Lightroom offers limited tools for making these kinds of adjustments.Photoshop offers much more control over local adjustments.Clicking on the tools at thetop will open the adjustmentwindow.Each tool allows you to selectively adjust part of the image.Crop tool allows youto crop and straightenan image.Spot removal - canremove or clone content from one part ofthe image to another.Red Eye Correctionfor removing red eyeGraduated Filter cancreate a graduateband of adjustmentto darken a sky forexample.26updated May 2019
