It is something photographers don\u2019t like much to talk about. They prefer to discuss how to enhance their images. Fair enough. But execution is key, and it is not because it is boring that it is not important !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, even before going to the processing itself, meaning classifying\nimages in categories (Best, to be archived, to be deleted, \u2026), enhancing the\nbest with ad-hoc software (photoshop, lightroom, Capture One, whatever, \u2026),\nthere are some steps which are all uninteresting, time consuming. In\nparticular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you shoot RAW +\nJPG, you need to find out what to do with either the RAW or the JPG,<\/li><li>If you shoot time\nlapse and manually compose them (with software like LR Time Lapse),<\/li><li>If you shoot Panoramas\nthat you want to also manually compose,<\/li><li>If you don\u2019t like,\nlike me, storing dozens of similar images, you must delete first duplicates,<\/li><li>If you don\u2019t accept\nsome images because of their exposure, grain, or other technical issue,<\/li><li>If you shoot both\nVideos and still images (both will require usually dedicated workflows),<\/li><li>\u2026 and much more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I am still surprised to see these steps have not been automated, or very\npartially and certainly not in an integrated way to let photographers with\ndifferent need improve their productivity, but also be supported by modern\ntechnologies to help them choosing maybe not the best image, but at least to\nautomate the files move\/deletion or just to fasten these different steps whilst\nmaking them more efficient. For example, I am not aware of a tool which would help\nto detect which images are part of a panorama. Many software exists to let you assemble\na panorama but when you shoot thousands of images, it is not so trivial to\ndetect panorama members, from below average images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example will be for the time lapses. Hundred or thousands of\nimages with some of them part of time lapse, other not, can be tricky to detect\nand at least, it will take some time to sort out the whole set of images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last and not least, I understand the \u201cone stop shop approach\u201d. That\u2019s\nthe holy grail in software and what Lightroom (or its direct competitors) tries\nto achieve for most of photographers. But I am not convinced as needs can be\nantagonistic and one stop shop means \u201ccompromise\u201d. This means I would rather,\nmaybe naively, believe in long-term trends to have software working together\nand not just one doing everything. My point? There is still room in 2019 for\nnew software when it comes to the image\u2019s workflow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not the most glamorous title one can expect as image processing after a photo session is often a pain at its worst, a necessity at least.
