Continuing on with my exploration of the time-saving keyboard shortcut, I have become a huge fan of using the {Alt} key (mac or PC) to quickly access two functions I use daily: Tone Control and Export as Catalog. During my first pass on a large job in the Library module, I not only rate images […]
Auto Sync has changed my life. I have easily squeezed an hour out of my workflow by making Auto Sync a primary tool in my arsenal. I won’t go so far as to say Auto Sync is a ‘hidden’ control, rather it’s just a bit out of the way in the interface – accessible via […]
Our team process a lot of photos, i mean A LOT of photos. 10 Terabytes (TB) worth of images have been know to fly through our studio on a weekly basis as we process and deliver a myriad of jobs for our customers. The bulk of these images are received, archived, and delivered either online […]

Adobe DNG rules! At least that’s what we think. We are big fans of Adobe’s Digital Negative (DNG) camera raw archival file format. Unlike proprietary formats (Nikon NEF, Canon CR2/CRW, etc.), we prefer a format that is openly documented, and supported by Adobe. While I have engaged in many a debate on the issue of […]
