Step Three:
The Segment Photos By Shots feature lets
you organize your tethered shots as you
go. For example, let's say you're doing a
fashion shoot, and your subject changes
outfits. You'll be able to separate each of
these different looks into different folders
by clicking the Shot Name (this will make
more sense in a moment). Try it out by
turning on the Segment Photos By Shot
checkbox. When you do this, a naming
dialog appears (shown here), where you
can type in a descriptive name for the
first shoot of your session.
Step Four:
When you click OK, the Tethered
Capture window appears (seen here),
and if Lightroom sees your camera, you'll
see your camera model's name appear
on the left (if you have more than one
camera connected, you can choose which
camera you want to use by clicking on the
camera's name and choosing from the pop-
up menu). If Lightroom doesn't see your
camera, it'll read “No Camera Detected,”
in which case you need to make sure your
USB cable is connected correctly, and that
Lightroom supports your camera's make
and model. To the right of the camera's
model, you'll see the camera's current set-
tings, including shutter speed, f-stop, and
ISO. To the right of that, you have the op-
tion of applying a Develop module preset
(see Chapter 6 for more on those, but for
now just leave it set at None).
TIP: Hiding or Shrinking
the Tethered Capture Window
Press
Command-T (PC: Ctrl-T)
to show/
hide it. If you want to keep it onscreen, but
you want it smaller (so you can tuck it to
the side of your screen), press-and-hold the
Option (PC: Alt) key and the little X in the
top right that you'd click on to close the
window changes into a - (minus sign). Click
on that and the window shrinks down to
just the shutter button. To bring it back full
size, Option-click (PC: Alt-click) in the top
right again.
