New toy, new ways...I want to try and develop a full workflow for my photography. Have never been a great RAW shooter, allways been reasonably pleased with the JPEG´s from my Canon 30D. Now my LX2 is going to force me to improve things a bit. I am most interested in other peoples workflow. I supose you could sub-divide workflow in a few categories:
- If shooting RAW, a raw developer. Which are you using?
- Noise: do you do the noise in the raw developer or do you believe you achieve better results with a separate "specific" tool?
- Once the RAW"negative" is developed, you proceed to edit (curves, BW convertions, burning and dodging,etc..). Photoshop or any other alternatives?
- And last but not less: Organizing and filing. What are you using? How do you keep record of your files, and if I may ask, how do you store them? How do you know what is where?
I am running a Mac and I think I read somewhere that some people are using Iphoto (I haven´t even opened it since I purchased my puter) to classify and organize their "library". Is it a good tool or would you sugest an alternative? When it comes to organizing, I would like to use a tool that would allow me to see some kind of preview or thumbnail of the picture even when the files are "offline" in DVD´s or external drives, and that would allow me to search by tags or keywords.
Thanks for taking your time to comment.
Cheers.
