Lightroom 

Lightroom has everything a photographer will normally need - you can import your images, sort them using several different methods/features, edit whatever is normally editable for a RAW file and at the end you can output these images as JPEG files, as an online gallery or you can print your images.

Lightroom is not Photoshop, so the editing tools available are limited to what you would expect from a RAW converter.

Screen shot of my files in Lightroom, you have to select the ones you want to import before you can edit them. 

Lightroom has presets which are useful for beginners

Tools which you can use on Lightroom above, very similar to Adobe Bridge 

Adobe Bridge 

How my files look in bridge, when you plug in your hard drive all your folders just appear and ready to edit in Camera Raw if you wish to

Examples of how you can 5 star rate your images or reject and delete them above .

Bridge is a file browser intended to be used by anyone working with the Adobe Creative Suite applications. Bridge itself does not have any image editing capabilities, instead when you want to edit a RAW file in Bridge it will open in Camera RAW. Bridge is good for file management and quickly optimising files. 

How does photographic film work?

“ Many materials are sensitive to light. Leave a piece of white office paper in your window for a few weeks and you might well find it turns yellow; plastics that start off white or clear also have a habit of turning yellow or going foggy ("photodegrading") when they've been exposed to light for a while. The dyed colours in cotton clothes and fabrics will also fade in sunlight. And if you're Caucasian, even your skin may change colour after a few hours or days on the beach. But you can't really use paper, plastic, cotton, or skin to capture a picture! “ “  Photographic film is plastic (or sometimes paper) that's coated with an emulsion made from microscopically tiny crystals of silver salts suspended in gelatin.. The silver salts are compounds of silver and halogens such as chlorine, iodine, and bromine, also called silver halides—and their useful feature is the way they begin to change into pure, metallic silver when light falls onto them. If lots of light hits them, they change much more dramatically than if less light hits. This is how the two-dimensional pattern of light rays entering through the lens of a camera from the world outside forms a kind of invisible, chemical trace (called a "latent" image) on the surface of photographic film.”

“Half made light” 

Series of images by Marcus Andersen shot on film. 

I choose these images as my research as i love the harsh contrast and light Marcus Andersen captures.
