log. Each tethered shoot is referred to as a “Session.” Give
the session a name. You can opt to turn on Segment Photos
by Shots, which will open an additional dialog after closing
the current dialog where you can name the shots.
step three: Naming allows you to choose from the stan-
dard filename templates, as well as allowing you to edit your
own naming templates. You can have the Session Name used
as part of the file naming, though you should use a uniform
naming system on all your files.
step four: Destination allows you to select a location for
the files on any connected drive. Click the Choose button to
change it. Next is Add to Collection, a newer feature. Clicking
this extends the dialog to include a list of available collections.
As this is a fresh catalog in this example, only the Quick Col-
lection is available.step five: To make a new collection, click the Create Col-
lection button. Give the collection a suitable name, and click
Create. This new collection will be added to the list as the
chosen collection. It also appears in the Collections panel.
You can opt to put it inside a collection set, but you’ll need
to have the collection set created in advance (one of Light-
room’s foibles). You can also make this new collection the
Target Collection.step six: Finally, you can add a Metadata preset contain-
ing information relevant to the shoot, such as copyright in-
formation, etc., as well as apply generic tags that suit all the
images using Keywords in the Information section. Click OK
to start tethering.
