1. Downloading Photos Getting images from camera to Photoshop

2. Edit images in camera 0 Turn on the camera 0 Press the view button to display images on LCD 0 Go through the images and delete any of poor quality (out of focus, poor composition, etc) ** We don’t want to waste time uploading images that obviously aren’t strong images so we’ll edit first in camera…then clean off the camera memory card AFTER uploading strong images to Photoshop. But, never clean off card without first saving images to the laptop AND a thumb drive…better safe than sorry!

3. From camera to Photoshop 0 Login to your laptop 0 Open Adobe Photoshop (blue PS icon) 0 Attach USB cable to camera and laptop 0 Turn camera on and press view to see images on LCD 0 In Photoshop go to File/Import/Wia support 0 Click start 0 Say OK when Canon Rebel T3 shows 0 Select all or click the images you want to import 0 Turn camera off and remove cable carefully…once images open in Photoshop.

4. Once in Photoshop 0 View all of your imported images 0 Close out those you aren’t interested in keeping now that you’ve seen them on the screen 0 Select a few you want to edit and save them to your home directory and your thumb drive 0 Be sure to name each image and save in a folder specifically labeled for this class 0 Save the folder to your thumb drive as a safety net (second copy) 0 Log off so your partner can go through the same process…

5. Resizing an image 0 Open your image 0 Go to Image/Image size 0 Look at the size of the image and its resolution (probably around 59 inches but only 72ppi). We want to increase the resolution and decrease the overall image size for final output 0 Click off “resample” and you’ll see the top dimension highlighted now in blue 0 Change the top number to 4 or 6 inches (later with favorite images you want to print we’ll go up to 8x10) 0 Now click back on “resample” and you’ll move the resolution down from 712ish to 180 (later with favorite images to print we’ll go to 300ppi) 0 Go to File/Save as and name the image and save it to your “Digital Photo Class” folder…save as a jpeg (later we’ll save favorite images as both jpeg and tiff) 0 Save the folder to your thumb drive as a safety net (second copy) 0 Log off so your partner can go through the same process…
