What to do with the Lesson files once youve downloaded them

The files are compressed into Zip archives to speed up download time and to protect the contents from damage during transfer. You must uncompress (or unzip) the files to restore them to their original size and format before you use them with the book. Modern Mac and Windows systems are set up to open Zip archives by simply double-clicking.

After unzipping the files, create a new folder named LR5CIB inside the username\My Documents (Windows) or username/Documents (Mac OS) folder on your computer.

Then, create a Lessons folder inside the LR5CIB folder and drag each individual Lesson folder to your LR5CIB/Lessons folder.

Youll import these sample images into your Lightroom library and learn to organize them using the catalog file that is central to many of the projects in this book. Keep the lesson files on your computer until youve completed all the exercises.

To learn how to create the catalog file, go to the section at the front of the book.

Important!

The downloadable sample images are practice files, provided for your personal use in these lessons. You are not authorized to use these files commercially, or to publish or distribute them in any form without written permission from Adobe Systems, Inc. and the individual photographers who took the pictures, or other copyright holders.
