My Workflow

Hi all, this is my basic photography workflow.
I shoot JPEG 90% of the time. I try to get the best results from the camera itself thereby reducing post processing work.
So, firstly, i have setup Adobe Lightroom to import my photos as soon as my camera/memory card is connected to the pc. Also, i have set LR to import photos into new folders named according to the date of shooting.
Once the photos are imported into LR, i start Flagging the ones that are fine (No shake, blur, colors are fine or not, other than the ones that i delete directly from the camera if they are not worth it at all) and rejecting the ones that are not. Then i have LR delete the rejected photos from the disk. After that i usually "Stack" similar shots together so the catalog looks neat and organized. This makes it easier to search for photos. Sometimes i also insert keywords into my photos like "sunset", "flowers" etc so its quick to search through those files. Thats all for the cataloging!

Next, if i'm editing a photo, i use LR's Develop module. I do all of my PP work here like Curves, Exposure, WB, Hue/Saturation, etc except Sharpening which if needed i do it Photoshop. Once the editing is done, i make a virtual copy in LR and export one of them to a smaller size for the web. I have setup LR to open the exported file in Photoshop automatically.
Once Photoshop opens with the exported file, i choose to sharpen it if i want. Finally, i add the logo/watermark and frame the picture. I save it with maximum quality compression and i'm done!

Thats pretty much it.

Happy Ugadi,
Have a great weekend!
