Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select the photos you want to save. Select File > Export. Choose a location to save your project. Use the "File Naming" tab to name your project. Use the "File Settings" tab to assign a file type. Customize your files with the options under the other tabs. Click "Export" to finish.

Answer: Since it's common to work with many photos at once in Lightroom, before you save your work, you need to specify what, exactly, you want to save. There are several ways to do this see below: Click on a photo thumbnail in the grid view or film strip. You can use Ctrl + click (Command + click on Macs) to select multiple photos individually or Shift + click to select a continuous range of photos. See this site for more shortcuts (scroll down on the page after it loads.) Select items in the Library module from the Catalog, Folders, or Collections panel. You can use the Library module's filter options to sort your choices. This should open the Export dialog box, which gives you a wide variety of options for how (and where) to save your files. Since you want to save your files to your computer or a storage device, select "Hard drive" from the "Export to" menu at the top of the window. Realize that, while this "Export" option allows you to save your work, it doesn't affect your master files the way a traditional "Save" option would. In other words, rather than changing the "starting" files you used for your photos, Lightroom makes a new copy of the photos with the changes you made. This means you can't ruin your photos accidentally! Below the "Export Location" header, you should see a drop-down menu labeled "Export to:". Your options in this menu are: "Specific folder," "Choose folder later," and "Same folder as original photo." You can't export your work without picking one of these options. The "Specific folder" option is generally what most people are looking for. This allows you to browse through your computer's directories and pick a specific place to save your files. If you have an external hard drive connected to your computer, you will be able to save in it with this option. "Choose folder later" will require you to make a decision about where to save the file when you finish. This is usually used when creating a preset (see section below.) The "Same folder as original photo" does exactly what it sounds like saves your work in the same file as the original photo is located. If you check the "Put in Subfolder" box, your work will be saved to a new folder (with the name you provide) located in the directory you chose. Under this tab, you should see several options that can be used to give your work a name. Since Lightroom projects often are made up of many different photos, several of these naming conventions are designed to make sorting through long lists of photos easier. A few of these include: Custom Name (x of y): You supply a single name for all of the files. Each individual file is labeled with its order in the list of photos you've selected (e.g., for a batch of photos labeled "Family," the files would be named Family 1 of 10, Family 2 of 10, Family 3 of 10, etc.) Custom Name - Sequence: You supply a single name for all of the files. Each individual file gets a numerical label. (e.g., Family 1, Family 2, Family 3, etc.) Custom Name - Original File Number: Same as above, only based on each photo's order in its original directory. Custom Name: You pick the name for each individual file (e.g., Birthday Party, Cake, Afterparty, etc.) The rest of the options use similar naming conventions, only using the date the file was created or its original file name in place of the "Custom Name" value above. Not all image files were created equally. Use the options under this tab to determine the quality, color space, and, most importantly, the format of the files you want to save. Your options in the "Image Format" dropdown menu include: JPEG: Good for most general usage. PSD: Good for use in Adobe Photoshop. TIFF: Preserves any layers that have been added to the file with Photoshop. DNG: Universal file for Adobe products. While the tabs discussed above are generally the most useful ones for casual users, the Export dialog box has many other options for customizing the way you save your work. These include: Video: Allows you to specify format and quality for any video files in your project. Image Sizing: Gives resizing/resolution options. Output Sharpening: Gives options for improving image quality based on the medium the image will be viewed on (e.g., matte paper, glossy paper, screen, etc.) Metadata: Allows you to specify metadata "tags" for your project for organizational purposes (e.g., keywords, author's name, etc.) Watermarking: Gives options for watermarking your photos to prevent unauthorized usage. Post-Processing: Allows you to apply touch-up and other effects to your files. When you have your export options exactly to your liking, click the "Export" button at the bottom of the dialog box. Your new files will be saved to the location you specified.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Include only toiletry must-haves. Do your hair and makeup before you leave. Avoid packing larger beauty items. Tuck away other small items in a separate bag. Bring activities if you'll be on a plane or in a car for a long time.

Answer: Bring your toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and deodorant for sure. If you'll be wearing makeup, bring along some makeup wipes and your normal facial cleanser. Ask your hotel if they provide shampoo, conditioner and soap, or, if you're staying with a friend, ask to borrow some of theirs. If your travel time is short, save space in your bag by styling your hair and putting on makeup before you head out. Bring only what you need to touch up, like a bit of styling mousse or some lipstick. Big bottles of shampoo, hair straighteners and blow dryers will take up lots of room in your bag, so leave them behind if you can. Call your hotel and ask if blow dryers are included in rooms, or, if you're staying with a friend, ask if they own a straightener or curling iron you can use. Transfer liquid products into smaller containers to avoid bringing large bottles. Use an extra makeup bag or plastic bag to avoid losing phone chargers, headphones or keys. Keep cords from tangling by rolling each one into a circle or oval, then clipping it together with a binder clip. Grab a book or a lightweight tablet if you'll be traveling for a while, or charge up your phone to play games or music. Grab a thin book of crossword puzzles, sudoku or word searches for boredom-banishing activities you can take on the go.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go to class. Be prepared to devote a lot of time to your schoolwork. Understand what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. Get to know your professors. Check your email. Learn to use the library. Be open to new ideas. Keep track of your progress to degree. Think outside your major.

Answer:
In large first-year classes, there might not be anyone taking attendance, which means that you won't get in trouble the same way you may have in high school. This doesn't mean you shouldn't go to class, though, and some teachers will have an attendance policy. More importantly, skipping class means missing out on valuable learning. Don't make your life more difficult by forcing yourself to cram come exam time. College is also expensive, and not going to class means that you are wasting a lot of your and/or your parents' moneyanywhere from $50 to $150 per one hour of class. Do the readings, taking notes as you do so. You'll retain much more if you read actively, and your notes will help you out a ton when exam time rolls around. Participate if the class calls for it. Many college students hate or are afraid of speaking in front of groups, but you will get so much more out of your classesand will enjoy them so much moreif you can get past this. Don't be afraid of being wrongyour professor just wants you to try, and probably wasn't asking a question with a "right" or "wrong" answer to being with. You should spend the same amount of time on your schoolwork as you would on a full-time jobat least forty hours a week. Bank on spending an average of two hours outside of class for every hour you spend in class. The balance will vary by subject (labs, for instance, will tilt more toward in-class time), but your library or dorm room is where a lot of the really hard work will take place. Some people plagiarize because they think they can get away with it; others do so because they honestly don't know what it means. Either way, you are responsible, and you will get caught. Many schools have very harsh penalties for this behavior, including automatically failing the class and/or including a special note on your transcript. Obvious plagiarism includes copying someone else's work and presenting it as your own and using someone else's words or ideas without citing her. Not using quotation marks around quotations is also plagiarism, as is giving inaccurate or incorrect information about a source. (It's especially bad if you fabricate a source.) Bad paraphrasing is also plagiarism. A paraphrase condenses the "gist" of an idea into your own words. However, you may be plagiarizing if you retain most of the original's words, especially if you use the same basic sentence structure or the passages are substantially similar in length or style. Academic dishonesty more generally can include asking people to help you when you have been told to do all your own work, working together on a project if collaboration hasn't been assigned, and paying others to do work for you. Dirty little secret: many professors sit at their desks during office hours, waiting and hoping for someone, anyone to stop by. They will appreciate you so much if you are that person. If you have a question, this is a great way to ask it because it will help your professor put a name to your face. But consider stopping by early in the semester just to say hi and introduce yourself. Be reasonable about your expectations. Your professors won't proofread papers for you or give you essay topics. However, they're usually very happy to talk about your ideas with you to help you figure them out. For many college students, texting comes more naturally than emailing, but you can't expect your professors to give you their cell phone numbers. If you want to stay on top of your academics, you will need to check your email regularly. This is where you will see announcements from your teachers, department, etc. If your courses use online course management, such as Blackboard, check these regularly too. Often, assignments and grades will only be posted here--if you don't check them regularly, you miss out. This goes for both the physical location and online databases. Your professors will assign a lot of these, especially at the beginning, but you will also need to learn how to do research on your own. Consider scheduling an orientation with a librarian, especially if you have never used a brick-and-mortar library before. You are sure not to be the only one, so don't be embarrassed. Most libraries have reference librarians for specific areas, such as hard sciences, music, or English. If you have a big project, it's a good idea to ask for a consultation with the reference librarian in your subject. She stays up to date with all the latest research and can guide you to the best sources. No matter who you are, you will probably read things that you don't agree with. This is intentionalyour professors aim to assign readings from many different perspectives, so they are assigning things that they don't agree with, either. You don't have to agree with the writers who challenge your beliefs, but do try to figure out where they are coming from and what makes them tickthat's probably part of why they were assigned, anyway. Colleges and universities will require that you fulfill a certain number of credits in several different areas: general education (possibly broken down by subject matter), classes for your major, and electives. Meet with your advisor regularly to make sure you are staying on trackotherwise you might find yourself having to pay for a summer session or an extra semester that you weren't planning on. If you are an engineering major, take a literature course. Poets, try biology. (These are just examples.) Either way, you will be exposed to new people, new ideas, and perhaps a new subject that you didn't know you were interested in. Employers are often more interested in candidates who can do a wide range of things, such as write a coherent sentence and analyze formulas, rather than people whose focus was so specialized that they can't handle the wide-ranging demands of the modern job market.
