What to do with the Lesson files once you’ve downloaded them The files are compressed into Zip archives to speed up download time and to protect the contents from damage during transfer. You must uncompress (or “unzip”) the files to restore them to their original size and format before you use them with the book. Modern Mac and Windows systems are set up to open Zip archives by simply double-clicking. After unzipping the files, create a new folder named InDesignCIB inside the username\My Documents (Windows) or username/Documents (Mac OS) folder on your computer. Then, create a Lessons folder inside the InDesignCIB folder and drag each individual Lesson folder to your InDesignCIB/Lessons folder. You’ll import these sample images into your Lightroom library and learn to organize them using the catalog file that is central to many of the projects in this book. Keep the lesson files on your computer until you’ve completed all the exercises. To learn how to create the catalog file, go to the section Creating a Lightroom catalog for use with this book in “Getting Started” at the front of the book. Important! The downloadable sample images are practice files, provided for your personal use in these lessons.
