ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 CLASSROOM IN A BOOK
15
•
Your students should become familiar with the options available in the
Advanced Photo Downloader dialog.
•
They should understand that the advanced import options will help them to
apply several levels of organization automatically to a batch of photos during
the import process, which will save them a lot of work after the images are
already in the catalog.
•
Students should be able to identify—and know how to work with—Stacks
and Version Sets, and should also be able to create and differentiate between
Albums and Smart Albums.
•
They should be able to use all of the search options—including the Text Search
feature—to find images in a catalog.
Getting started
Once again, your students will create a new catalog for this lesson, making it easier
for them to experiment with organizing techniques without worrying about losing
track.
Photo Downloader options
Important: This first exercise involves using the Advanced Photo Downloader
Options while downloading images from a digital camera or card reader—but the
exercise requires several batches of photos taken at different times on the same day.
If you have not been able to have your students prepare for this lesson adequately it
may be preferable to have them follow the exercise in the book, and then go home
and repeat it with images from their own cameras—perhaps as a homework assign-
ment. The exercise is fairly involved but teaches important concepts and techniques
and should not be skipped.
You should study the exercise carefully and step through it yourself so that you
understand the requirements and decide what approach to take while you are plan-
ning the lesson.
Unless your students are simply following the exercise in the book, you will need
to take care to adapt your references to the illustrations and Keyword Tag names in
the exercise.
Acquiring still frames from a video
This exercise is fairly straightforward and uses a video file provided in the Lesson03
folder. Be sure to have your students capture enough frames in steps 5 and 6 to find
one with the video artifacts described in the paragraphs between steps 6 and 7 and
illustrated in the enlarged “Before” view accompanying step 11.
