Every time I finish taking photos on Transcentral highway (a.k.a Cebu TCH) I usually end up from 4 GigaBytes to 10 Gigabytes of data on my SD Card. Consisting around 2,000 to 5,000 shutter counts on a single day.
Mostly, when I shoot photos for outdoor or event (non serious photos) I usually do it on JPEGs only (no RAW).
I dont want to deal with thousands of RAW files, most data are not used and it's pretty much pointless to go on that path. I only work with RAW if there is a serious photoshoot only.
When I copy photos from SD card to the computer, I keep them all in one folder.
Next step is to create a web-optimized copy of all images. This way, I can upload adequate quality for Facebook or Blog. I mostly do this by batch processing, few clicks and then move on with an attached watermark.
Optimized images are created in a separate folder, my next action is to delete the unnecessary images I dont need. Delete inappropriate shots including the bad ones. This way I have less error of selecting usable photos along the way. Select the bad one, delete, move on to the next photo.
I will end up around 200 to 500 images, depends how I see fit. Estimate around 300 Megabytes of uploadable content.
QUESTION: Do you edit photos?
Yes and No. For event and outdoor shoots, I only let the camera do the magic with my specific settings. I'm too lazy to edit thousand photos to some data I dont use. It's a total waste of time doing editing on each photo.
QUESTION: What Editing Software?
Just any software that can do batch process.
