![]() ![]() I make extensive use of Lightroom’s tagging with keyboard shortcuts with the following rules: So I persist with the slowness of Lightroom for simplicity. I however find that the work involved in integrating back into Lightroom later makes it a similar overall time for me. I have used tools such as Photo Mechanic which is blistering fast at reviewing and tagging. Many people dislike Lightroom for this reviewing part and I have to agree, its slow. So after that strong cup of coffee, you are ready to really start reviewing and selecting images. ![]() JPGs that I often shoot at sport events are much quicker. My main camera does shoot 50megapixel RAWs which are around 65mb in size. My Surface Book 2 is really showing signs of slowing and must be plugged in to power for full power setting. My desktop PC is pretty quick, despite Lightroom’s obvious flaws in this area of speed. That’s about it for import for me, so time to start the process and get that cup of coffee. Incidentally this profile is available for sale on Photo Basecamp (shameless plug). This can seem lazy but in reality, everyone targets a slight exposure bump, some saturation, some contrast and some luminance as a minimum. More on that later.įor develop settings I often will automatically apply my ‘stock profile’ as it really gets me 90% there 90% of the time. This applies to all types of photos I shoot. Maybe location and subject eg ‘Melbourne, Australia, sport, MCG, football’. Just some simple ones for any import can not hurt. This means that if I accidentally miss it later, I at least have some basic metadata. I usually start with a fairly generic headline and caption etc that will at least correctly set the event, location and date. I use metadata settings for any event I am shooting for agencies. Especially considering you are likely to work your images soon after import, and can automatically delete these large previews after 30 days in Lightroom’s preferences. It takes longer to import, which is a great time to get a coffee, but will speed up your editing later. Firstly I always import and generate 1:1 previews. Import options are fairly limited in Lightroom but some serious time saving can be achieved. ![]()
