Thanks for this, it seems not many photographers want to share this kind if in depth detail and it's something I have been struggling with for awhile.

Here I was thinking I had a good workflow... You opened my eyes to a much cleaner & more efficient way to do Post. This video is full of useful info. Thanks, Julia!

Wish my life was this organised haha. Very good video, thank you! 😀👌🏼

My files are organised but I didn't say anything about my life 😂😅

I feel like I randomly stumbled upon photography one day. I've been shooting and editing photos that I'm proud of ever since, but I have continuously struggled to have an efficient workflow. Its turned something that I once enjoyed into a chore. Overwhelming storage space issues, competitive deadlines, and slow downloads have seriously made me want to distance myself from it. However, this video is a step in the right direction for me. It's incredibly helpful and gives me hope that I can take my work to the next level. This is info every photographer needs to know, yet it is hard to come by! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share your expertise

This was soooo helpful. I love your videos Julia!!!

LOVE THIS SIMPLISTIC AND SMART FILE MANAGEMENT!

Thanks for sharing this video. Really helped me figure out how to organise and backup my photos!

Great video, you’re an amazing photographer, Julia. Thank you and congrats!

Absolutely love your workflow. Perfect for what I am needing to implement! Thanks for sharing! :)

This is an awesome video! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. I've been trying to find some kind of flow that doesn't set me back too much after a shoot. I love this, extremely helpful. Subscribed!

This is the absolute best video of this process. Thank you so very much. As a newbie this is amazing.

Your videos are amazing and straight to the point. I am learning so much from you. Thank you!!!

Thank you SO much for sharing all this, it´s really helpful!!

This is the most helpful video I’ve seen for beginning photography.

Great video Julia, This will make things much better for me going forward.

Hi Julia! Thanks so much for this video. As I’ve said in several of my other comments, you’re truly amazing and such a great and organized teacher. You’re my favorite You Tube photographer along with Joe Edelman. This video is an answer to so many prayers for those who need to be taken by the hand (as I do) and walked through all of these different steps. I admire how computer savvy you are and how you can make what seems sometimes as daunting to where it now can be understood, or at least way more than before.

Just finished my first wedding, thank you so much for this :)

Thank youuuu!!! Very usefuul!! I want to give more than just one thumbs up!! 1 - I have a very slow laptop and I am REEEAALLLYYY Strugling to select pictures. (after one morning of surf shooting, 650 pictures, I spent almost 3 hours selecting just because the pc was slow to change and load picture). I'll try adobe bridge for it now. 2 - My pictures folders is just a mess. It is difficult to find specific pictures. Loved how you organize. I'll be doing it now. If you have any more ideas about optmizing workflow, please share!

This helps so much... thank you !

This was really helpful. honestly not so many of us wanna share this kind of information. Thankyou. That preset of yours though, ad love to use it on my images as well.

I just had a friend use your video to make an infographic to help young creators! I now use this file system for all of my personal and professional work as well!

Julia, I always had Photoshop as my favorite. But I tried Lightroom last week because I had a bunch of pictures to edit and I thought it was going to be faster - and it really was. Then I also used Photoshop only to retouch this time and the final results really pleased me. Thanks for your tips!

@@juliatrotti thanks for this great video. is Photo Mechanic really that much faster for culling than using LR? so you keep all your current edit projects on the ssd 'working drive' and backup everything to the hard drive? do you keep the ssd working drive until it's full, then store it away?

@MusicFed

@@juliatrotti can't you just import the 'select' folder into LR instead of having a separate 'Lightroom' folder? just curious as to why you need both folders

Thanks, you are really smart girl! Great and useful video

I had never considered my workflow post shoot and was wondering if I was doing something wrong. I am apparently on the right track but have some great suggestions now for how to preview my photos (I was using Windows photo viewer and a legal pad to write down the ones I wanted to send to post. A bit tedious). Thanks for sharing! One of the things most don’t consider is what happens between the time when the camera goes in the bag and when the “photoshop stuff” happens. I am sure you have helped a lot of folks with this video.

I love your accent ! It makes this tutorial a lot more calm and entertaining. Great information !

Thanks for sharing, absolutely helpful! Wondering if you could do a video of a wedding behind the scenes or how you move about at a wedding during each part (ceremony, getting ready, reception) and even your camera settings/ lenses you typically use for those scenarios! I have wedding inquiries and a couple coming up this summer and could use some insight along with second shooting. Thanks!!

Thank you so much! I don't think I'll be able to make a behind the scenes video from a wedding like my typical photoshoots as I don't want to take anything away from the couple on their day! But I actually will have a bunch of wedding related videos and tutorials coming up really soon which I'm really excited to share :D

Thank you so much for this!!!

Hey Julia, very useful video, in process of implementing as fairly new to the whole file organisation (currently an absolute mess!). Any recommendations on SSD's or what hardware two you use for backup?

Thank you this video really saved my messy process 😂

thanks for the detailed video

That’s good stuff Julia, thanks( Chris)

Thanks for the information. I might suggest looking into GoodSync to automate some of your workflow. I use to to copy newly added folders to both my external drive and NAS.

Simple and easy to follow excellent thx

This video really helped me, hopefully I can be more organised after it! What settings do you export your images at I couldn't really see properly, it would be a massive help to me, thanks!

I like it, I have almost exactly the same routine after a shoot but I definitely think I'm going to try the idea about using separate catalogs.

@juliatrotti

6 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I used to put everything in the one catalogue when I first started as well, it ended up getting so confusing! Especially when your harddrive fills up and you have to start moving files.. eventually half the photos in the catalogue are "missing". Hope you enjoy the new method if you end up trying it :)

Awesome. Thanks for this video. Happened too many times where I lost whole shoots due to faulty computer.

Great video Julia, do you still use photo mechanic in 2022 for sorting through images or another program?

Thank you so much for this video! Really helps me out. I still have a question though: do you keep your blurry or dark pictures? Do you erase them in your camera first, before importing? Thanks!

Very useful thanks Julia! I like the look of your SSD, can you tell me the make? Also as this video is a couple years old is your workflow the same and would you ever use cloud storage as an option? 😺

Wow! Super organised. You would probably faint if you saw my system.

Love from all over india 🌹🌷♥️ all the tips n tricks are very useful for me thank u so much

I found this so helpful

Hi Julia, thanks a lot for the video! Can you make a video about adobe bridge? how you sort them and edit later in photoshop? thanks for sharing!

This was a wonderful video and really highlighted that I've been doing things wrong for far too long. My intent was to purchase Lightroom and Bridge and have purchased a 4TB G-Drive and 2 8TB G-Drives for Edit Phase and Archive phase respectively. Now I have a 'Photos' library (44K photos (15K unedited)) that I need to somehow organize and storage off of the iMac. Any advice from my current situation is greatly appreciated! Also, love the presets, I'll be in touch on those once organized! :)

I loved it!!

This is so helpful. I wonder do you have a link to the type of hard drives you use? Thanks

Great video! What SSD and Hard Drive do you use? Thank you for this walkthrough

Hey! great video as usually! :) . One question, could you be compromising some future actions, like sharing files, or your folder directory engine, or something related with your OS and things that I don't have so much knowledge about, when you name folders with periods and special characters? Thank you!

hello! this video was super enlightening and helpful! do you delete the photos off the SD card or keep them there and constantly get new SD cards? also, do you delete any bad photos before backing up all the raw files from the shoot? thanks in advance 😊

Hey! Thank you so much for making this! Do you replace your hardrives every few years? (Since hardrives are supposed to fail every 3 - 5 years)

Hey Julia, thank you so much for that load of information. Really helpful! I have one question! How do you connect so many harddrives to your iMac? If you use an USB-hub, would you mind sharing which one, and how the speed is? Thank you so much, and greetings from Vienna! Thomas

While I don't do a lot of editing, I really appreciate your organization and plan to work on developing a similar organization for my photos. Thanks for your presentation!

Great video, I have a very similar system on my iMac, but when scanning negatives I use my windows laptop and because I have a hard copy I don’t back it up from there until it’s edited. I really like the back to front date idea, that’s very clever.

HI! This video is amazing! so helpful..What ssd and hard drives do you use?

This is nice! Do you save those pictures after you edit in photoshop in psd or do you re-write over your exported jpges?

Great Video! Is there any backup software you recommend for Windows that I can either clone or mirror 2 external hard drives that will constantly backup each other? I've used AOMEI and EASEUS but everytime I do a file backup option it just creates "what I would call a virtual copy" I'm looking for something that looks like a "manual copy" of folders and files. Not sure how to do this.

Thank you!

Love your content... Would you please let me know what nas drive you use to organise your backup?
