Two little things that I found out to be helpful is to name folders in yy/mm/dd as like that you will always find them in chronological order. Secondly I have saved exporting profiles so that once I am ready I can export for web (low res with watermark) a set for proofing and an other set for full size printing. In the export I have them set to take the folder name l, sequential and to place them in the original folder ( names web, prof & full size) . Their keeps my hard drive organised sequentially and knowing that the job is compleat especially in your case where you are using a new catalog on every shoot.

@@MitchLally the problem is that adobe hasn’t made export presets simple to record. You have to initially go in to set them up and save them and then you can use them with one press, or even after right clicking to export directly with the desired preset.

I’m not exactly sure how to do that and it depends on the camera. Usually in the menu there is an ability to create new folders but unfortunately I’m not sure if you can rename it in the camera. You can definitely change the filename in most cameras though.

I just don’t understand what you have to gain by leaving comments like this. Like - there’s hundreds of film stocks, intentionally over/under exposing, dozens of ways you can develop incl push/pull, unlimited ways to scan and color balance - who is to say that what I interpret is objectively wrong? Of course you’re never going to get it to look like film - granted it’s digital - but you can give it a good whack. I did it - and thousands of people bought my presets so far so I guess that’s something..
@edscannell1019 Жыл бұрын
@@MitchLally I’m don’t stand to gain anything, I’m merely expressing my point of view, which by the sounds of it isn’t positive enough for you? I’ve shot 100’s of rolls of film and to achieve that “film aesthetic” you have to shoot film...end off! You said it yourself in your comment it’s never going to look the same because it’s digital....so why bother trying? Film & digital are two different formats and should be treated that way! To many people throw on presets or play with sliders in editing software to try and mimic film instead of going and learning the craft of shooting on the film format!

Hello and thanks for the video! Let me tell you about my photo storage system. I bought a NAS server from Synology with 4 SATA slots. There are newer versions that support M.2 SSD + SATA HDD/SSD. I installed 2 x 6 TB HDDs in it and configured them in RAID 1 (mirroring). If one of the hard drives fails, the server will inform me about it. It will be enough for me to buy a new HDD and replace it. Then the server will do everything itself, duplicate the photos on a new drive. Also, it is advisable to buy an APC Smart UPS for the server, so that during power outages, UPS sends a command to properly shut down the server and after the electricity is restored, UPS turns on the server on its own. The advantage is that I have access to it from anywhere in the world. Once, we were vacationing in Greece on a yacht. The customer wrote to me that he urgently needs photos from a shoot a year ago. He asked if I could send them to him? I logged into the server through a mobile application, created access to that shooting and sent a link to the customer. Everyone is happy. I recommend!

Question, I try using Narrative Select but I noticed that as I zoom in on my photos they don't look as sharp as they do on Bridge or Lightroom. Is this also the same for you? Is it just a software issue on NS when rendering the images or could it be my PC?
@MitchLally8 ай бұрын
Select is using the embedded preview that your camera creates - it’s not full resolution - but it loads instantly. Depending on your settings Lightroom and Bridge can use these too but then switch to the full res when you zoom in (why it lags). But select is just for culling, it’s not for editing so as long as you can see if the shot is in focus then the embedded preview is enough.

Hi Mitch, after you cull your photos with Narrative Select, how do you quickly delete bad photos from all your drives? I'm having trouble doing it efficiently, especially after making the initial backup copies of my SD card. I'm a beginner so I'm eating storage like crazy and needing to figure out better file management and space saving tips! Thanks so much
@MitchLally Жыл бұрын
If you only want to keep your selects one way to do it could be to do another seperate export of your catalogue but this time instead of selecting jpg, select ‘original’. This will make a folder of all the selects as raw. Then all you need to do is just delete the original folder of raw files and keep the files you exported with the ‘original’ setting!
