Third Class Requirements

Next class (this Thursday and Friday), we'll be moving on to use Adobe Bridge & ACR to review, rate, keyword & adjust our images. Here's what you'll need:

1) Bring your laptop & hard drives

2) Bring along 50 or so images on your computer or Hard Drive that were ingested with ImageIngester and have been renamed, had bulk metadata attached, including copyright info, contact info, batch keywords & captions, etc.

3) Make sure you have Adobe Bridge installed on your computer. Ensure it is up to date! Run the Adobe Updater on your machine to ensure you have the latest version.

4) Install the trial version of Microsoft Expression Media on your computer. Links are as follows:

Expression Media 2 (MAC)
The Mac download is the combined updated version. Mac users, this is all you need to install.

NOTE Windows Users: You will need to install EM2 Service Packs 1 & 2 in addition to the software, and must be installed in order. These are critical updates. Links are as follows:

Expression Media 2 (Windows)

Expression Media 2 (Windows) Service Pack 1

Expression Media 2 (Windows) Service Pack 2

Drop a note in the comments if you have any questions or trouble installing the software.

5) Finally, read Chapter 10 in the DAM Book to review what we'll be covering in class this week.

Cheers, Josh

Hey Josh!!
I'm just trying to get my DAM system all in place and I am wanting to get a bootable back-up drive for my operating system (based on your recommendation from 1st class). I have got the trial of Chronosync in which I noticed they have an option to set up a bootable hard drive, is that all I need in addition to a hard drive? And if not, then what do I need to do this? Is it a particular kind of hard drive I need and how many GB can I get away with? Which on that topic, is there any brands that you can recommend to go for and those to stay away from?
Cheers!
