I can see the RAW only when they're still on the camera. When i import them to computer, it just shows me the photoshop .nef icon

I usually delete any photos I know suck right on the camera, then I import to lightroom everything else even if I think I'm going to delete a lot of the other ones.

I've had quite a few photos that I originally would've thrown away, but I played around with them in lightroom before doing that, and ended up with something that I liked quite a lot.

i couldnt open my RAWs in my version PS either

so you need to download adobe DNG, and first convert them to digital negatives, then open them in the correct program.

oh no, i can open them in ps. just cant see thumbnails

Day 4:



Sarah again. I got lightroom but I dont really know how to use it well :/

find some tutorials and learn

this ones a bit underexposed, plus its an uninteresting background.

Yeah, I noticed the exposure issue as well. I wish I didn't make it so dark.

I'll look for some tutorials, do you know any decent ones?

i like this one more.

just play with it and teach yourself the basics, then there are thousands of tutorials on the web

shoot the subject in good lighting. try avoiding the shade if possible.
for something simple. have a shooting session at the park, you'll always get great lighting. greens a blue skies are vibrant and compliments eachother well when you have good bokeh

Day 5:


I think I choose lights because i think they're easy to photograph. I also didn't take very many photos today, so that may be why I chose this one.
