Since somebody asked…

  1. Copy photos from camera to a temporary folder on my MacBook Pro.
  2. Import photos from the tmp folder into organized directory structure in Adobe Lightroom, e.g. /photos/2007/2007-05/2007-05-25-Zoo/RAW - renaming the files in the process as 2007-05-25-Zoo-001.jpg, etc…
  3. Cull and process photos in Lightroom.
  4. Export the surviving photos as full resolution sRGB to, for example, /photos/2007/2007-05/2007-05-25-Zoo/Processed.
  5. Upload the processed photographs to Flickr - tag, title, permissions and licenses as appropriate.
  6. Copy the whole /photos/2007/2007-05/2007-05-25-Zoo directory to my NAS.
  7. Resync the NAS to an offsite server as a final backup.
  8. Finally delete the photos from my camera once everything is backed up multiple ways.

Simple really :-)

I just got Lightroom - I don't know how I managed without it. I'm re-processing most of the last month or so, lol. I feel like I'm back in the cellar with all the chemicals, diddling with things until the picture is perfect. Fun stuff!

Do you tag and all that in Lightroom as well?

JohnMu said:

... what kind of off-site backup do you use?

Steve said:

John - I don't tag in lightroom - I do it in flickr, and I use this Link Backup: http://www.scottlu.com/Content/Link-Backup.html to do the offsite backup.

Cheers - Steve

You don't say anything about file formats. I imagine that you shoot RAW, but what about the processed files?

Steve said:

Dave - I shoot in raw and export in jpg, full resolution and at the highest quality setting offered.
