![]() This is made easier by the fact that I have partitioned the drives in my photo editing computer so that My C:/ drive doesn't hold any images instead, I have set up drives for Images, Projects, Archives, and Text. Then I convert my processed RAW files into TIFFs and save those away from the archive of downloaded RAW files because I like to work on TIFFs and I don't like continually sorting through all the files from a shoot when I have already selected the photos I want to work with. This is a strong point for any good program that can convert RAW files and this is why such programs should be used first, before going into Photoshop or equivalent programs: it can be a HUGE time saver being able to do all the initial edits to a series of photos using the same adjustment file. This would be similar to using Lightroom or any other program that is geared toward converting RAW files and this is where I check the color temperature of my white balance and bring detail back into highlights and shadows because, I can save an adjustment file for these basic edits here and apply it to all the photos from one shoot so that they are all starting from the same processing point. ![]() I always shoot in RAW format and I do my initial edits using Nikon's Capture NX2 software. I label the folders for my downloaded images by season and year (since I do mainly landscape work) or by subject for specific shoots. My usual workflow (using a Nikon D700) is to download from my camera by way of Nikon Transfer and this will automatically open Nikon's View NX software when images are done downloading. I've never used Lightroom but of course we've all heard great things about it. ![]() I've really enjoyed his "Adobe Photoshop for Photographers" and will no doubt get the latest version when I finally upgrade from PS 4 Extended -) GlennMartin Evening is an excellent source for photographic advice. I have his books on LR2 and LR3, and will likely get the LR4 one. ![]() My favourite author on LR is Martin Evening. ![]()
