I've got a job Tuesday night taking photos at a charity event. As part of this job, I'm going to need to get them printed.
The only catch is that I've never printed any of my digital photos. Therefore, it would be wise for me to do a test run and get some of my shots printed. I've collected a list of some of my favorites on flickr. It should be fairly easy to find the files, and even in theory the libraries(?) that they're in. I'd like to collect all of those shots, with the processing data that I've already done, and have a special grouping of them all in one place. I'd rather do this without duplicating the raw files that are already there, though I don't mind if the files of processing instructions (for printing) are different than the current iteration of those files. I could look this stuff up in various lightroom books, but I'm not even sure what to look for. One complication to this whole process is that I've moved my whole directory tree of photos from one drive, to another, at least once. And I believe the catalogue (?) files as well. At one point in my attempt to get my old catalogue, or whatever it's called, I pointed the wrong thing to the wrong place in the directory tree, and messed everything up, so there's weird duplication with something pointing to places that aren't there for various libraries, or catalogues or whatever. I'm not familiar enough with lightroom (yes, I know, I should take Godfrey's class) to know what things I should look up in the index. I've run into problems before because what I think is the intuitively correct name is different than what Adobe thinks is the intuitively correct name. If it helps for pointing. I've got Kelby's Adobe photoshop lightroom book and Resnick and Spritzer's Lightroom Workbook. I may have a couple other books around someplace, but those are the one sitting on my computer at the moment. -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
