Essential The Official Photography Thread

[The Devil's Advocate]

Brehs can someone help me out with a workflow question?

I shoot in RAW.. Upload to my computer say 300 photos from a shoot, then narrow them down to the ones I like. From there, I do all my edits on Lightroom and call it a day. I'm not a pro, so while I pay for the hobby like I am one, I've never sat down for 30 plus mins, editing one photo. Photoshop is rarely used, and that's to completely cut something out.

Well why have all this stuff and take it seriously, if I never advance?

So what should my workflow be? I'm thinking it would be RAW to Lightroom to narrow them down, then Photoshop to edit further. I want to imagine there's a way I can do broad edits on lightroom, then bounce it to photoshop for touch ups.. Or would I want Photoshop to have it first, fine tune things, then edit those color, warmth, saturation points, after the fact in Lightroom?

I do light room first, then photoshop for any major edits/touch ups. The work flow is pretty straightforward. Lightroom kind of walks you through it that way.

Thinking I'm making that switch over to Sony ..
Price on the Canon R6 out here is deadly.

what are you currently shooting with?

Yeah I saw the price for the R6 like 4000 cdn with the 25-105

and the r5 body only is 5,400 without taxes

And then you look over at sony for like half of the price



if you hop over to sony what canon lenses you got

with that amount of photos lightroom is the best you can literally copy and paste settings from one photos to all, and using the ratings can easily sort pretty fast

photoshop then copying and pasting the settings in adobe bridge is another method

Currently have 5D Mark III.
Kit includes 35 1.4, 50 1.8, 85 1.8.

Love the flip out screen on the R6 and video capabilities but ..
The A7 III performs well for the price, getting harder to justify the Canon prices with uncertainty about the performance

Haven't really got out this year due to an injury

Quick question. Anyone use a non-Adobe workflow? Personally, I'm not a fan of their CC ($$)

I've been using Capture One for the last 2 years. Took some getting used to, but I ditched the sub fee

Here we go... It'll be interesting, but he's thinking like I am. I think that Sony will either have 6K 30p or 4K 120p (not both) in the A74. And be priced in the $2500 range.

They might wait longer than usual to reveal this because the A7Siii needs time to breathe.

i cull, then send the pics to Lightroom for basic slider adjustments, then a 2nd round of culling and retouching pics in Photoshop, then sending pics back to lightroom for a final step and exporting.

anyways we only had a few minutes for these, otherwise i was gonna really go crazy with the pics with them.

I can see them adding 4K/120 and pricing it at $2,500. If they keep it at $2K, no way they add either, IMHO. However, I can see a scenario where they put the A7IV at $2,500, the A7III at $1,700-1,800 and the new A5 at around $1,200 or so. I’d hate to see it because that would mean a $2,500 price point for 10-bit, 4.2.2 video, the new menus, etc.. but it would make sense for Sony as a way to separate their full-frame models.

I was willing to drop $2,500 for an R6 until the news of the camera overheating like crazy came up so I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same for an A7IV with 4K/120 that doesn’t overheat.

Wait, i just realized something. Shouldn't this thread be in the 'Film Room' section?

Ok, so I'm thinking of a Capture One + Affinity Photo workflow
