Getting started

- Before we jump into Lightroom's develop module,…let's just really quickly talk about…a couple of things in the library.…You'll notice that all of the exercise files are here,…you could use all of your files here as well.…In some cases there are images…that look very similar, like the ones of the sky here.…But those are actually a series of panoramas.…In some cases there are various exposures…that are a series for an HDR merge.…And then there are images that…are literally the same image duplicated.…And those are for you to work through.…Now, if you want to duplicate your own image,…it's really easy to do, you just select the file…that you want, right-click, and select create virtual copy.…

That's really handy when you're not sure…if you want a color image or a black and white,…or if you want to have both.…A couple of other things that are really handy in here,…is you can set up Lightroom the way you want,…so you can hit these little triangles…on the edges of the screen and you'll notice…that they will only appear when you mouse over.…
