Making a Contact Sheet Using Adobe Bridge

We are going to learn how to use Adobe Bridge to select, rename and organize your photos into a contact sheet. Bridge has many functions such as batch rename and other utilities to help with organization, and supports editing of digital images in Camera Raw format. Organizational features include assigning colored labels or star ratings to images. And can recognize a variety of file types. Here is a tutorial to clarify: http://youtu.be/6m9nBwiskAQ you only need to watch the first 2:20 mins. Don't change the spacing and keep "file name" turned on.

1. Open Adobe Bridge
2. Open the file that holds your Emphasis/Rules photo.
3. Right click RENAME the photos by the emphasis technique you used.
4. CTRL click on the photos using the same emphasis technique
5. Select "OUTPUT" under the top tool bar.

 
6. Go to the Output window on the right of your screen (sometimes it will take a minute to appear).
7. Select PDF instead of WEB GALLERY.
8. Under the TEMPLATE option, select CONTACT SHEET (4*5=20 photos or 5*7=35 photos)
9. Scroll to the very bottom of the Output window to where it says SAVE.
10. Before you press save, check the "VIEW PDF AFTER SAVE"
11. Once the PDF opens, FILE>SAVE AS>
12. Type the assignment name i.e "My LFAS2 Contact Sheet" or "Emphasis Contact".
13. SAVE AS TYPE: Select "JPG"
14. Make sure you select where you are going to save it to.
15. Then press SAVE.
16. Post to your blog as you would post an image.

Welcome Photo Majors 2012-2013

Welcome to Photo Major 2012-2012

I am super stoked about this year. Like so excited!! Look at me

First off- job action is over-yay! so this year, we can go on field trips-YIPPEE! Just a few for starters- this Thursday, we are going to Fort Langley to take photos for our "Street Photo" project. Then next week we are going to try some landscapes at Kraus Farms on Thursday, September 13th. How fun. Jump to Spring Break... We are planning a trip to SanFrancisco and Yosemite National Park. We are sorting out last details and I will share them with you all at a lunch meeting next Tuesday, September, 11th. So get your field trip forms signed and bring it back so we can get out there.

Second- We have a great group of people in the major and I think it is going to be a great year! Whoot! OMG. No seriously, there are a bunch of super keen, genuine, helpful, interested, talented, skillful and really kind hearted people in this class- get to know your classmates. Help each other, learn from each other, inspire each other.

Thirdly- Quinn Middleton will be joining us once a week to help out in the darkroom and with projects.

Also- The Langley Artist Project is starting this year, I will explain later.

And that's just for starters... So let's go....
What makes a great photograph? Small group discussion- find an example and post it on the Ning site...
