Get the topic spiral bound
It would be nice if we were able to release this topic in spiral-bound form, but it's
just not logistically feasible with a publication like this. So I recommend that you
take the topic to your nearest oi ce supply store or copy shop, have them chop
the spine of , and put on a plastic coil binding. h is will allow the topic to lay l at
while you're working through the material.

Now, let's get started!

Hardware coni guration
Following are the minimum requirements for a computer to run Lightroom 3:

Macintosh
• Intel based processor

• Mac OS X v10.5 or 10.6

• 2GB of RAM

• 1GB of available hard-disk space

• 1,024x768 display

• CD-R OM drive

Windows
• Intel® Pentium® 4 processor or equivalent

• M icrosot ® Windows® 7, Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate,
or Enterprise (certii ed for 32-bit and 64-bit editions), or Windows XP with
Service Pack 3

• 2GB of RAM

• 1GB of available hard-disk space

• 1,024x768 display

• CD-R OM drive

If course, the minimum requirements are far from the ideal setup. To get the
best performance from Lightroom, you should install it on a computer with a
fast processor, as much memory as possible (including video memory), lots of
available disk space and a modern operating system.
