Select "Explore"

Click on "My Computer", and go to YOUR folder on the (T:) drive

Rename the folder from "PICTURES" to "Color_shoot"

TAKE THE NEGATIVES OUT and store them in your folder
GIVE THE CD in the ENVELOPE back to the teacher as a backup

Step two - Open and edit photos in Adobe Bridge

Open Adobe Bridge (Shell Icon).

Allow the photos to render. (Wait)
Edit the photos as follows:

• Rate the photos- Rate all of the remaining photos with 1-5 stars by hitting "Ctrl + 1-5". A five star shot is amazing and award winning. A one star shot will probably never be used.
• Label the photos - In the Metadata , (1) Enter your name in the "creator" field for EVERY photo. (2) Enter one of the following in the "description" field: candid or portrait. Then describe the techniques you used for each (advanced techniques, lighting etc.)

Step Three - Open and correct the RGB levels of each photo

Double click on each photo in Bridge to open it in PhotoShop. For each photo:

Hit Ctrl+ "L" and adjust EACH Channel of the histogram (get rid of the flat areas)

Close each photo after it's adjusted.

Step Four - Start cropping and placeing your photos.

Open your main (final exam)InDesign document. You should have an original spread and a magazine cover layout just waiting to have beautiful photos added to them. Do it!

Open your photos in PhotoShop. Crop them to the correct size and 300 dpi. Save them as DIFFERENT files. Place them into your documents.
