Thank for the video, and especially the back up part. Even pros don’t have a clue about RAID storage and using the 3-2-1 back up scheme. As for editing and culling software. We switched to Capture One and Affinity Photo 6 months ago. We haven’t looked back. Capture One’s raw engine is unmatched. No need to use multiple software for culling and editing. It’s crazy fast and we editing in raw, with layers, 97% of the time. We chose the perpetual license. Crazy.

Excellent. You can use Adjustment Layers in Photoshop to do a non-destructive work but, no doubt, LR or even C1 are better, fast to change and all adjustments in one file, no need to save as Tiff or PSD.

I liked your video a lot, but i must say, if you are working in photoshop and working destructively, you are simply using Photoshop wrong. If you do not use layers, you propably dont need photoshop and can stay in lightroom or capture one.. But if you do open photoshop there is no reason to not create new layers often. beside that you nailed everything.

Kevin, Great video. Instead of going from Photomechanic to LighRoom, I go from PhotoMechanic to Camera RAW in Photoshop. You can do virtually everything in Camera RAW that you can do in LightRoom, including nondestructive toning, but it's a lot more efficient. As a photojournalist, I am mostly toning, doing noise reduction. cropping and some geometry. You can mass apply/sync settings. You can this with hundreds of images at once. If pick DONE, it saves the edits and you can come bsck and change them later.. Pick the ones you want and export them all at once in the resolution you want. I do like Lighroom for HDR and a couple other things but deadline work CameraRaw is the way to go. If you shoot JPEGs, you can have cameraRAW treat them the same way.
@kevinraposo3 жыл бұрын
I didn't explain this fully in the tutorial, but I do something very similar inside Lightroom - I apply very basic adjustments (i.e. adding a bit of contrast or exposure), then sync across all images. I've never given the Camera RAW workflow a shot, but it definitely appears to be a lot more lightweight to me than Lightroom is - may try it out in the future. Appreciate it!
@youngbloodalan3 жыл бұрын
@@kevinraposo Thanks for the reply Kevin. Yes, its way more lightweight then Lightroom. I export from Camera Raw to my "today" folder never opening the files in photoshop at all. I then return to PhotoMechanic to finish the captions. Clearly, if I was a portrait photographer or something else, the pictures would need more work and Lightroom would be more advantagous.
