I just found you today through a link from your site designer. I upload from the camera and do a quick delete through the camera’s software before importing into Lightroom. Then another quick run through to flag my favorites and flad the additional rejected. Most of the time I get sidetracked and start to edit before I get all the way through, but if I can stay focused, it helps. =)

I’m new in the business so I try to make things as easy as possible. I have a strong background on photoshop (UCLA UNEX) however dealing with it can be time consuming so I use Lightroom to adjust most of the photos I take (white balance, Exposure and minor details then I choose (by flagging) the photos I want or require more extensive work (ea: Face blemishes, unwanted artifacts, etc) those are the ones I move to CS4 to complete the job. Ligthroom help me tremendously to accelerate the process but I rely in CS4 for the final product.

The best tip I have for speeding up your workflow is I try to get everything right in the camera instead of during post processing on the computer. It’s important to do a custom white balance, set correct exposures, be aware of the compositions, etc to leave less editing later. I try to eliminate these things from my post processing and it leaves me more time to be creative with the images. It’s also helpful to use presets for desired effects, time is money afterall. Shoot to sell, don’t just snap away endlessly because you have a big memory card, try to be more selective about the images you capture and that will also leave you with less to edit down.

Everyone has to find what works best for them…what programs, what processes. For me, the key is time management in the process. Chances are, a mediocre image is an image I won’t spend much time on trying to tweek. I will take an image that already has potential and inhance it. But I always try to keep the big picture in mind…time is money and there are so many things to juggle in the world of digital photography that it’s important to decide how much time to invest in editing. My husband and I started out in the film era, and much less time was spent, simply because we didn’t have the capabilities. Processing time has easily doubled, especially when you want to keep a competitive edge and offer the modern effects. The creative options are limitless and it’s so easy to get caught up in the artistic side of things that you really have to find the best balance for you and your business.

I really love the folder structuring that Kevin Kubota suggests in his workflow. I started using it and it makes finding my images sooo much easier. 7 folders – RAW, Edit Out, JPG proofs, Slide Show, Print, Album, Blog, and Video. I drop all the RAW images and import to LR from there. Then I tag photos for blog, album and export those straight to their folders after editing. So much easier to pick blog images and have them set aside.

The best workflow advice I can give is regarding Lightroom’s AMAZING backup feature. When importing images from a card, you choose the location that you will import those images to. I have two hard drives I import to – I have one main drive for editing, and a second backup drive. Lightroom has an option in import to select a backup folder, so you can actually copy your images to two locations at the same time! Your images are then backed up in two locations, so no worries about crashes or losing/damaging a memory card!
