I’m hoping there are some of you that, like me, often find themselves with a chance photo opportunity without having the good equipment along (70D, G12), but always having the cell phone handy. And I am hoping some of you have more knowledge about various cell phone cameras than I have.

I currently have an iPhone 4S. I download the jpeg image files I like onto my computer. I then convert and process them in Photoshop as TIFF files. My 4S contract is up. Should I:

1. Do nothing, just keep the 4S without a contract?

2. Get a new contract for an iPhone 5S for the modest improvement in its camera?

3. Get a new contract for a Nokia Lumina 1020 phone, whose specs sound really, really interesting?

4. Get a new contract for any other smart phone camera that might be a big improvement over an iPhone 5S (suggestions entertained)?

I can’t find enough information about the Nokia lumina 1020 to know if the “oversampling” thing would mean anything once it got into Photshop; like what do you actually get in a downloaded jpeg file from it? Do you simply lose all the special processing done in-camera and end with an ordinary 5mp jpeg?

I'm hopelessly mired down in downloading/organizing LR5 and after following suggestions, reviewing demos, B&H instructions and so forth and so on, I'm even deeper into LR5 chaos. I've downloaded photos, but now can't find them, much less pull them up....have tried 5 or so tutorial tapes on Lightroom which have only added to the confusion....my screen never matches the screen on the B&H tutorial, or the procedure they're showing doesn't work for me..... Nothing makes sense and I'm to the point where I need some one-on-one or limited class size instruction from Step One on in LR5.

That being said, does anyone know of a Dallas-Ft. Worth source for basic tutoring in LR5....preferably one-on-one where I an sit down with my computer, the LR5 program and a knowledgable individual to guide me through. I feel once I get through importing and cataloging, I'll be OK in applying the bells and whistles of LR5, but right now, once I get photos into LR5, they're lost. And I'm sure this is ALL user error. HELP!
