Chapter 3 Review-Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3-


Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3
Chapter 3-
            This chapter provided a good review of shortcuts in Photoshop, and a lot of new information in Adobe Bridge and Lightroom, which I have never used before. It described how to set up and customize your workspace in Photoshop, and then transitioned into fitting images to screen and panning. Layer properties and filters were described with captured images in a step-by-step format, which still provided a lot of useful information.  Bridge and Lightroom are both new to me this term, so this chapter helped understand Bridges similarities to Photoshop, and its use to view and organize a large amount of photographs. There was very little information included for Lightroom in this chapter but it laid out the basics for future reference.
