Image Management • How to manage a library of images? • Team share • Online photogallery • Keep originals? • Using your own images – • Copy all originals camera/card to PC • Eliminate “duds” • Copy originals to working folder • Edit and store in PSE Organiser / photogallery • Burn copies of originals and edits to DVD
Basic Photoediting Workflow • Import/open images • Rotate / align • Crop • Levels • Colour balance • Sharpening • Output
Important Concepts • PSE tools similar to Photoshop not as extensive • For complex/repeat edits keep the file as PSD • DO NOT repeat edit jpg • Size output to suit use (eg print, doc, web) • For final output Save As jpg file • Non-destructive edits possible with layers • Quick Fix makes it easy if desired • Many levels of Undo • Remember EXIF files which may help
Demonstration • Watch for workflow • Consider how image is to be used • Notice tools that are available • Introductory only – PSE is complex!
