Requirements for the Second Class
It's time to start this DAM process. Here's what you'll need for the second class...
1) Make sure to review Chapters 1-6 in the DAM Book and ensure you have a solid grasp on that content. Post any questions related to the first class to this blog post: Summary of the First Class.
2) Read Chapters 7 & 8 in the DAM Book
3) Read the following two posts (including the comments) on my main blog:
- Post Production Workflow
- Post Production Workflow Follow-Up
These posts summarize what we'll be covering in our next two classes. Read them over a couple of times and try to wrap your mind around what what we'll be doing and why. Don't worry if you don't understand everything, we'll be covering it all in the next two classes. Note that my current workflow is somewhat modified from these as they are written, but the majority of it is still very relevant.
4) Bring your laptop, memory card reader, and a memory card with approximately 50 RAW photos (no more, please) to class. The photos should all be from the same location, with similar subject matter. Subject matter is up to you. We'll be using these images in class to learn the DAM workflow, and they will be used for your two class assignments. Images must be on a memory card, not stored on your computer.
5) Make sure to have the following software installed on your computer for the next class:
a) Image Ingester Pro (Version 3.2 - Demo links below)
Macintosh Download Link
Windows Download Link
Note that this Demo is limited to 25 ingestions, so please don't go over this limit prior to class!
b) Adobe Bridge CS4 - This should have been installed automatically when you installed Photoshop on your computer. Double check that it is. If not, you should be able to install it from your Photoshop CS4 install disc. Make sure to run the "Adobe Updater" to ensure you have the latest version installed.
c) We will NOT be needing Microsoft Expression Media until the third class. As it is a 30-day trial, please don't install it until just before the third class, otherwise your trial may expire before you need to hand in the final class & assignment.
See you next week - enjoy your weekend.
Cheers, Josh
