10 Steps For Organizing a Workflow in Lightroom

Jennifer Pitts • Apr 01, 2017

Hello, hello!! It is busy season for weddings. As a private photo editor and photographer, that means the editing portion of my business is in full swing for me! I shot a beautiful wedding and bluebonnet session myself last week (next up for posting), edited those, and THEN edited 5 weddings and 5 sessions for photography clients this week too! I did that in 3.5 work days. Say what?? Phew! As a private editor, I have developed a workflow in Lightroom and I think with my experience, I have some tips to share with you that could be most helpful if you are looking for a better workflow as a photographer. So let’s dive in!

1. Create collections to keep your sessions and weddings organized.

Select/highlight the photos you want to put in a collection.

 

 

 

 

  •  Treatment (Color)- because you more than likely will be shooting in different light and don’t want your photos to turn blue or orange with the temp or tint.
  • Graduated filters/Radial filters- These are more of an adjustment brush for specific photos that need parts of the photos adjusted.

** If you buy presets, you will have to send them in the collection you bought to your editor or the camera calibration will be wonky and your editor will not see what you see, because it does not recognize the preset in their catalog.**
