Hey everyone, Eli here! Today, I want to share my process that I've developed over the last 17 years on how I cull and sort my images. This process has evolved, and I want to show you where I am now in 2023, a very busy season, and how I keep up with one-week turnarounds on weddings while delivering images in chronological order using PicTime.
We'll go through Narrative Select and Lightroom. My process starts in Lightroom, goes to Narrative Select, and then back to Lightroom before exporting to PicTime. Let's dive into my workflow after a wedding day.
