2.3) DestinationĬhoose where you want your images saved as you photograph. This naming will be applied to RAW files as they are saved to your computer during your tethered shooting session. 2.2) Naming SettingsĬhoose from different naming presets, or create your own if you like. To create a new subfolder (or Shot, as Adobe names its grouping), press Ctrl+Shift+T (Windows) or Command+Shift+T (Mac OS) during Tethered Capture session.
The first subfolder naming option appears once you click “OK” in “Tethered Capture Settings” window. The “Segment Photos by Shots” option allows you to group similar images into separate subfolders as you photograph (for example, by model or pose). Further on, you will have the chance to use session name as image file name as well. Keep it brief, but easily understandable. Let’s go through the given settings one by one.Ī side note: if, once you’re done with all settings listed bellow, your camera is undetected by Lightroom, try connecting it (turning your DSLR on) after you’re done with the settings, not before as instructed previously.Įnter the name of your session in Session Name field. A “Tethered Capture Settings” window will pop-up. Now, open desired Lightroom catalog in which you want to import your photographs as you capture them, and choose “Start Tethered Capture…” from File->Tethered Capture menu. Plug it into both devices and turn on your camera. 2) How do I Tether my Camera?įirst and foremost, you will need a USB cable to connect your camera to your computer. In other words, you get the final image as you shoot, save for exposure and other minor tweaks, all within Lightroom without the need to import photographs manually after your photography session. If you have your Develop Settings set accordingly, you may also import images with your favorite settings already applied. Who’d want to photograph a wedding with a USB cable strapped to the camera constantly, and through it, a laptop? You’d need an assistant just to have that laptop lugged around behind you! In many other situations, Tethered Capture can make reviewing images that much more pleasant. However, wedding photographers, who tend to move all the time and change their shooting position, would find Tethered Capture to be annoying at the very least.
For example, studio and landscape photographers, who tend to bring their laptop computers along on a shoot, will find it to be very simple and fuss-less. The best time to use Tethered Capture is when working in a less active environment.
