Introduction
This is the current process I use for managing digital assets (photos). In the past I had used heavywieght processes and various tools. But as an infrequent amateur, I now focus on insuring the assets are managed, backed up, and processed in a consistent way that I can make them available.
Each section covers the major steps:
- Taking Images
- Ingesting Images
- Laptop (Interim Step)
- Desktop
- Backup
- Importing
- Location
- Lightroom Presets
- Metadata

- Apply Metadata to "Good Images"
- Tags
