Work Flow...

Oakley

I'm looking for ideas on a consistent, reliable, sensible workflow.

I took a quick crack at what I (should) do....

WORK FLOW

1. Take lots of pictures
2. Upload pictures to computer
3. Use Microsoft Picture It to:
   • Rotate
   • Rank
   • Keywords
4. Get camera ready for next shoot
   
   • Delete Pictures
   • Format Card? Don't know much about this - like why?
   • Charge Batteries
5. Use "Rank" to determine which pictures to edit and share
6. Make copies into a new folder ("Edited")
7. Edit pictures - I use Microsoft Picture It - Premium 10....for now.
   
   • Red-eye
   • WB, color, sharpness, ect...play with it. Save versions if undecided...
   • Try B&W, sepia, negative...experiment
   • Crop
8. Upload to smugmug website and organize
9. Share pictures
   
   • Send to updated web link to friends
   • Get "good" pictures critiqued
   • Get "better" pictures into challenges like dpchallenge.com
10. Learn and start over

Am I the master of the obvious or what? Man, I think I am "too" eager.





Oh well...

I am the pupil...and I want to learn...

Thanks for any advice in advance!
