Make the most of the exercise files

- If you have access to the exercise files, I have a very nice photos library for you. Hopefully, this will augment your learning experience. However, there a are a few things that I want to show you about it. First of all, switching to this so this shows up in your photos and not your previous photos library. And that's very easy to do. I'ma go ahead and minimize this library just for a minute. So, this is the excersize file container, right here. So, everything is all in one container. Yay! That makes it very easy. So, if you want to launch it, all you have to do is download it, and then just double click on it, and then, photos will ask you, "Do you want to switch?". Just say yes. So you can switch, use it, have fun with it, and then, when your ready to go back, just quit photos and hold down the option key when you launch it, and it'll give you the option to switch back to your other library. So, that's the way that works. And I do talk about that more in this training, as well. Let's go back to our photos library. The second thing I want you to know, is that, this is the complete exercise files right here. So, all the training is in here, so if your starting at Chapter One, or Chapter Two, for example, this library will look different, because I have done all sorts of stuff to it, as I've gone through. So, this is the whole enchilada here. This is the complete thing. So there will be differences but hopefully, there'll also be enough similarities where you find it useful. Now, if you're working on an image, let's say, one that I've done some editing on, this one right here, for example, and you go to edit mode. You'll be able to see some of the things that I've done, but, you'll also might have a different looking edit bar over here, or adjustment bar on the right hand side than what I had, because, well, in this case I sent it off to an editing extension, it was part of that movie, or these things might be collapsed, and yours might be open, or vice-a-versa. So, just be patient and just sort of, try to navigate and set up your screen, so that it looks as close as possible to my screen that your watching on the movies. Some people, what they like to do, is have this on a separate computer, and then watch the movies on another computer. So that you have two different environments there. That might make it a little bit easier. Okay, and then, the last thing that I want to tell you, is that I did include some training screenshots here, and the reason why I did that, is because we did some work on the iPad. IPad is a big part of the photos story right now. Since I recorded those movies on the iPad, my personal iPad, you won't have those movies, or those particular images, in this library. So, I thought what I could do is, at least include some of the screenshots from those trainings, so you could have those for reference. So that's what those are here. If you find them useful, that's great. If you don't, you can just go ahead and close this folder, and ignore it. So, its up to you, but I wanted you to know that they're here. And these are all from the iPad, here in training screenshots. Alrighty, well, that should get you out of dodge. I hope it does. This is a terrific training library here. It has lots of good stuff. So use it as its helpful. Don't let it get in the way of your learning experience. And I hope you really enjoy the movies that I made, using this library.
