  • what about bitmap images?

    

  • @29erUSA128team - you can import RAW files, JPEGs, TIFFs, DNGs, or PSDs. The files can be direct off your camera or on your computer's hard drive.

  • MAC users please help, Im not new in Lightroom but Im new in MAC. How do I set FILE/ EDIT/ VIEW/ HELP etc to the top bar/ menu on MAC ??? or it's windows set only ?????

  • @japonst - sorry I missed your comment. I gather you've put Lightroom in full screen view. Pressing "F" on the keyboard cycles through the various screen modes, just like Photoshop. If you're running Lion and are in its full screen mode, simply press ESC.

  • Thanks for the great tutorial. I had one question- My computer is running out of hard disk space, so If I want to transfer my photos to an external drive, how do I get Lightroom to link to them as well?

  • @kartikananddhar - this is key--ANYTHING DONE OUTSIDE OF LIGHTROOM IS IGNORED. You can add an external HD without issue, just use the Folders panel in the Library module to move the images. Do not move the images outside of Lightroom's interface otherwise you will need to relink all the missing files. If you look at my Lightroom playlist on my channel, I have a video on relinking offline or missing images.

  • Nice video! Can you import pic from iphoto or aperture (transfer)?

  • As usual, a fine tutorial!

  • @tissetass96 - unlike Photoshop you do not choose File->Save after making edits to photos. IF you want to create a copy to send to someone else, or post online you can either export the image choosing File->Export or use the Publish Services option for sites like Facebook & Flickr.
