So, yesterday, totally inspired by our Project 365 group and the uber talented folks over on Flickr, I've been thinking a lot about my "process" and ways to simplify it. Last night, I finally pulled up a chair and started downloading the hundreds of pictures that still remain in my camera, yikes!
So my process begins.
- Download all the RAW files to my computer using adobe bridge
- Delete all unwanted photos-usually about 60-70% of them, ha!
- Minor tweaking in camera raw
- Open in photoshop to begin the editing process then save as jpg format. Right now, I'm editing as I need them but I'm hopeful that one day, I'll edit all the photos as I download them..
And before I go, here's 2 pictures from Project 365 just because a post isn't a real post without any pictures, hehe.

Wow, Cindee! You are an uber-talented photographer! I wish I had better tips for photo organization, but I don't. And, I'm totally not familiar with the RAW settings. I wanted to learn more about it, but... Too bad you aren't closer to teach me! LOL!
Ok can you teach ME how to take such gorgeous photo's???
I think you ROCK! :D
If i know I am going to need the photos right away I shoot in auto, but if they can wait I shoot in raw and beg my "adobe master certified" hubby to edit them for me cause he is waaaay faster, LOL!
Whoa.. you're photos are stunning!! I loooove your post processing.. something I totally suck at!!
My process is much like yours... but I don't shoot in RAW yet.. although everyone keeps telling me I should start! ha ha! Can't wait to see more beautiful photos!! You ROCK!
hahaha, girl, i feel the exact same way. posts are so much more fun with pretty pictures....and yours are absolutely EXQUISITE!!!!!!
dangit, if I knew your blog link was up and running I would have awarded you a blog award tonight. darnit!! next time. for sure!
oh and my process. er, I couldn't figure out how to transfer OR open my raw files so I stopped using raw. :( for some odd reason I can't open the NEF files in cs3. what's wrong with me????
anyways, back to my process. download using lightroom and save files to external hard drive. I should be deleting the unwanteds like you do, I'm going to have to incorproate that into my workflow. Thanks for the tip!
Man-o-man, your use of iso 1600 rocks cindee. the result is perfect! Good job...
