How I Manage My Images in Lightroom - From Import and Export

My Lightroom Workflow

I've been using Adobe Lightroom since version 3 and over the years I've been fine-tuning my image workflow around its capabilities.  While its image processing speed had left me screaming up until a recent update, I've always liked its ability to organise and manage my photographs.

In the video below I share with you my Lightroom workflow.  I show you how I import my images, select images for processing, apply keywords, rate images and finally get them ready for export.  There are lots of different ways to do Digital Asset Management (DAM) in Lightroom, so my way is probably neither the right way, nor the wrong way, but hopefully, you'll be able to take something away from this video and use it in your workflow.

I've been using Adobe Lightroom since version 3 and over the years I developed a workflow to manage my photographs from import to export. In this video I share with you that workflow so you can see how I use Lightroom to import my photographs, select them for processing, keyword them, rate them and prepare them for export.

Do you have any Lightroom tips for image organisation?  How does your workflow differ?  Let me know in the comments below.

My Other Workflow Videos

Every landscape photography I take is unique to me and I want to minimise the risk of data loss at every step. So in this video, I'll share with you my backup workflow. I show you how I protect my data from the moment I press the shutter button up until the point I'm ready to format my memory cards again.

How do I calibrate my monitor? How do I profile my printer? How do I improve the quality of the photographs I print? You don't need to be a colour expert to improve the way your images look on screen and in print.

In my latest video I show you how I edit my landscape images using Adobe Lightroom. In the video I process 3 images, each one using slightly different techniques and I use features / tools such as contrast, dehaze, spot removal, graduated filters, transform, colour / range mask, and sharpening.

In this video I expand my printing skills by printing a panoramic image on panoramic paper and then mounting it into a custom-made panoramic frame. I also take a look at some different paper types to try and see what impact each one has on an image.
