When we have taken our photos we then have to come back and download them onto the computer. The best way to download the photos is through 'Image Capture' This is a fast easy way to download images, whereas if you used 'Iphoto' this could block your computer up and also it is extremely slow to use.
Here is 'Image Capture' when my camera is connected up to it. You then from this stage have to decide which folder you want to put you photos in and if you want to download them all or just some selected photos.
In the photo above i have chosen to place my photos on to the desktop.
I will then sort my images into different photo albums so i know where they all are - when my photos have been downloaded and sorted in to folders where i know where they are i will then save them onto my memory stick for backup. I can then put my photos in to photoshop etc and edit them how i want.
When i had downloaded all my images i then made a 'Contact Sheet' with all my photos on, for this i had to use
and copy all my images into there to create my contact sheet:
Here are my two contact sheets.
Image Management
The next stage was to name all the files that i put my photos in so that they were all well organized for example here are my folders:
To re-name a folder what you have to do is double click the folder slowly and then it will allow you to re-name your folder to whatever you like.
Over all i took photos of 5 different things so i could then come back and look at them all in detail and decide which one is my best.
