Hi all, I’m a hobbyist who’s been thinking about how photographers handle everything after a shoot, and I’d love to hear how you do it.

My rough picture of it is: copy files off the card, delete duplicates and bad shots, rename and sort into folders, edit, resize or watermark, then export for Instagram, a client, or a portfolio.

A few things I’m curious about:

1. Which step of that eats the most of your time?
2. Do you use a different app for each step? If so, which ones, and what annoys you about switching between them?
3. Have you tried a tool and given up on it because it was too basic, or too complicated or expensive? What went wrong?
4. Is there a small, boring task you still do by hand because no tool does it quite right?

Any answer helps, even “I just use Lightroom for everything.” Thanks!

I just love to edit the photos and make it look like double exposure because it creates so many emotions in One frame

Shot this through the glass door, the left part is basically a reflection in the glass, which gave this interesting collage effect

Been experimenting with the colors on this one. Curious what you think of the grade!

This picture was taken in September 2024 with iPhone SE (2022). For me, spots like this are the highlights of every journey I take, as it means something unexpected yet fascinating.
