I read over and over again, that somehow the holy grail for digital photographers is to have a “fast and efficient workflow”…. or something like that. I even read recently that with a certain e-book, you’d soon be “importing digital images into Lightroom with your eyes closed.” Funny they should put it that way, because in my workshops, it seems most students are already doing just exactly that when they first walk through the door.
I guess for a culture hooked on fast food, marketing your wares that way makes sense. After all, who doesn’t want fast and efficient?
My goal is to break photographers of the habit, and try to help them open their eyes to the larger picture of what actually happens during import. If you’re the type of person who would rather think through the issues for yourself, and then build a workflow that fits your individual design goals for your long-term library organization, then I have a new article for you. It’s called Heresy In Library Organization, and you can find it on DigitalPhotoPro.com, by clicking here.
Writing articles for Digital Photo Pro Magazine is one of my favorite things to do. You can find a list of all the articles I’ve written for them at the bottom of my “free stuff” page, by clicking here.
