Photo Editing Workflow

Build efficient photo editing workflows for processing large shoots with culling, batch editing, retouching, and optimized export.

Usage

Describe your typical shoot volume and editing needs to receive a workflow design with tool recommendations and processing strategies.

Examples

• "Design a workflow for processing 2000 wedding photos in under 8 hours"
• "Set up a Lightroom Classic workflow from import to client gallery delivery"
• "Create a retouching workflow for 50 headshots with consistent skin tone"

Guidelines

• Cull ruthlessly first: reject bad shots before spending time on edits
• Rate photos in passes: first pass for rejects, second for picks, third for hero shots
• Apply batch edits to groups shot in similar lighting for speed
• Create export presets for each delivery format: web, print, social media, archive
• Back up the catalog and edited files before starting any major batch operations
