What version of CC

[Jenny_11]

I had to have my hard-drive replaced and in the process of downloading photo-shop and LR to my computer. 

I could swear I was running  CC2014 but don't see that as an option. What version do you recommend downloading? I didn't care for the latest version CC2019.

 

Thanks!

You won't have a choice.  CC2019 is the one.

Or, as you can see, no older than 2017.  I'm surprised that is still available, even.

[Jenny_11]

Crap. So the 20.0.4?

[Damien Symonds]

Yes, definitely.  They've ironed all the bugs out, it should run fine.

[Jenny_11]

Thanks! I just downloaded the latest version. Now the daunting task of setting it up. Do you have a thread w/ any basic set-up?

[Damien Symonds]

Outside of class, only this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/workspace-video

Don't forget that raw will be set to Adobe RGB by default, so you'll need to change that to sRGB the first time you open a raw file.

Okay! I'm still in the RAW class??  I've been absent for the last month due to family.  Will I find info there, or do you recommend another class?

[Damien Symonds]

Yes, in Module 4 (the "Tour") you'll find the bit about sRGB if you need it.

PLEASE don't wait any longer to step up to the Levels and Skin classes.  They'll blow your mind.

Okay!  Let me get this set up. I'll revisit the modules. I just don't want to get my work-space set up w/out asking a bunch of silly questions.

This version looks a bit different. I need to get my eyes straight. What values of custom grey do you set your canvas too?

[Damien Symonds]

Middle-ish is best, I think.
