My Workflow | Part 4: Processing

So far we’ve managed to work out where the shot was taken, get it into Lightroom and work out whether it’s keeper – now what?

I personally start with Presets, they allow you to quickly see what a photograph would look like when processed in different ways.

My Workflow | Part 7: Backup

Well we’re now at the end of a seven day series of articles about my workflow. This missing piece is how I keep everything safe.

My Workflow | Part 6: Export

My Workflow | Part 2: The Import

Yesterday I showed you the GeoTagging part of the process, today’s quite a short one (it is Boxing Day after all)

My Workflow | Part 1: GeoTagging

So you got a new piece of gear for christmas huh? Whether it’s a new camera body or simply a lens cloth.

Go and use it I’ll wait…

…Right so you’ve got a camera full (or at least a few shots) now what? Well here’s what I do, I’m not saying its the only way – nor the best – but I’m writing this in the hope that not only I help you – but you can also help me!

My Workflow | Part 5: Extra-Metadata

Another quick one today, but a very important one. Many people leave their photos with the name form the camera – or none at all, and there are a lot of photos out there who go un-noticed as they are lost in the hundreds of others. Titles, tags and captions will help.

My Workflow | Part 3: First Sweep and Smart Collections

By now you should have hundreds, if not tens of photos ready to rock and roll, so how do I sort all of mine out?

Firstly After the geotagging and import I move them down a level (as I said on Christmas Day ) to year/month/day – just to tidy it up a bit more.
