Yea but it would take me too long to organize them and the space i would need... i usually keep them on my camera for a while but i stopped doing that too.

What extra time would it take? Just put them in the same folder as the final photos you export, in a subfolder called RAW or something. If you don't have space, buy a new drive, you should really keep them. If anything, only keep RAW's and if you need a JPG open it and export it.

If space is the problem buy an aditional hd... Trust us on this, any photographer would tell you that. :)

When I process my photos I cut them off the CF card and organize them right away. My photos are archived by year, month, and event. So it would look like:

2014>02>2-14-14 [Event Name]

I do that too, seems to be working for me for quite a long time now. Except if I ever take my camera with me and just take a couple of pics, like not an actual event or planned shoot, then I just leave those loose photos on the root 2014>Month folder without an event subfolder.

Seems like you and I have a similar system. :good:

I put all of the RAW files into the appropriate folder, load them up into Lightroom, and then when I export from Lightroom to a JPEG it saves the JPEGs in a folder called 'Processed Photos' which is inside the folder where the RAWs live.

Very close to mine, I have: 2014 > Then a folder starting with the date and then the event, only because I may only take 1-2 shoots a month and having to sort through 12 subfolders to find an event can be annoying. If you have lots of events though that's a good system.

I never thought of that, I'll have to do that!

Well, since i cant view previews of raws i would have to name them so i know what they are before i open them....that alone would take time for me. I only have 1.6tb left on my new drive i just bought and thats shrinking quick just from jpegs.

I might start saving them, and saving the jpegs on my other 250gb drive i freed up.

If you install the Windows Camera Codec (free from Microsoft) then you can open RAWs in Windows Photo Viewer on Windows 7/8/8.1 or the Photos App on 8/8.1.

I saw a photo just like that on Flickr the other day and I thought it was awesome! I'll have to try that effect!


Nice ones! :good:

It's a very easy effect to do. I just used the exposure brush in lightroom.

Looks like her eyes are a bit red, compared to her eyes in other photos.

I just noticed that earlier too. I think it was the lighting. I used an off camera flash and shoot through umbrella for the bottom photo. The others were taken using an external flash on camera. I could have easily fixed it in post but I completely over looked it.
