Exercise files and legacy settings

- [Instructor] Let's review how to bring in the exercise files. Your Lightroom catalog likely has a lot of personal images. So let's keep these exercise files sorted separately. I'll create a new folder and name it Exercise Files. This way, as I work on other classes, I can keep things organized. Now, let's create a new album. We'll call this Developing Raw. And I'll click Create. Now, with the album selected, I could choose Add Photos. Navigate to the folder that you downloaded and click Review for Import. Make sure all of the images are selected. If needed, you can click Select All. Choose the album that you're targeting and then click Add. The images should now all be added to your library. They're in their own album here to make it easier. Now, let's do one more thing. At the bottom here, click the sort button and choose to sort by filename. And let's set this to reverse order. Now the images are sorted and easier to find. They're in the chronological order that we're going to use in our lessons. Once the course is over, feel free to remove these images from your library and please only use these photos for practice purposes, let's begin.
