Using the Photo Browser views In the next exercises your students will explore the Display menu options to view the images in the catalog sorted in the Photo Browser by: Import Batch, by Folder Location, and in the Date view. The Timeline (Window > Timeline) is also introduced here. It would be a good idea to discuss situations in which these different views would be useful. You should also point out the View > Details and View > Show Filenames menu options. The Map view will be explored in Lesson 3, but requires Internet access. If you do not have Internet access in the classroom situation, you might assign that exercise as homework to be completed either before or after teaching Lesson 3. Working with star ratings and keyword tags Other than one short exercise in which your students will apply a rating to a single image, the remainder of Lesson 2 deals with Keyword Tags. These exercises are all well illustrated and fairly self explanatory and make a logical progression through applying tags, organizing them in the Keyword Tags palette into categories and sub-categories, and using them to sort and find images. Working with Keyword Tags is not revisited in such depth or expanded on in subsequent lessons, so this set of exercises is best kept together in the sequence presented, excepting perhaps the "Automatically finding faces for tagging" exercise which could be treated elsewhere-if you're short on time-without upsetting the logical flow. Homework Assignment The first exercise in Lesson 3, " Photo Downloader options", involves using the Advanced Photo Downloader Options while downloading images from a camera or card reader. This exercise conveys some important concepts and techniques and should not be skipped. You should study the exercise carefully so that you understand the requirements and decide what approach to take with your students. The exercise as presented in the book requires several batches of photos taken at different times on the same day. You might want to set a homework assignment so that your students are prepared for this exercise. Ideally, they should take 4 or 5 batches of photos grouped by capture time-each batch consisting of of 3 or 4 photos of a single subject. (See the Photos London subfolder inside the Lesson03 folder; it contains batches of shots taken at various locations around London.) Alternatively, if a student's camera will allow them to copy images from their computer to the camera's memory stick, they can copy the images from the Photos London folder to the memory stick so that they can follow the steps in the exercise more closely. If you prefer, you could also have your students simply follow the exercise in the book and then perform the exercise in their own time. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9 CLASSROOM IN A BOOK 13
