Quick Edit


I'm so thankful for RAW processing because even though I love photography and looking at cool images I really don't like spending a lot of time editing my own pictures. So tonight I had a wedding to blast through and I've been working on saving some very customized .xmp files and it makes it so easy and almost mindless. I seriously watch a movie while I edit because everything is just click of a button.

Tonight was a smaller batch of 1074 pictures and I was able to get through it in 2 hours and 7 minutes. Not bad but I was spending some time making food and also making more .xmp files that I'll be able to use to speed up future weddings.

Here is my list:

  9. Sounds like a good challenge! Have you tried using Gary Fong's new Bullzeye3 software yet? Interested in hearing your thoughts on his color correction techniques vs. photoshop's tools before I buy it. Any preferences?
