  • Client Jobs: Memory Card to Web Gallery in 30 Minutes: Through surgical use of Metadata and Develop presets as well as some smart filtering you can go from importing images into Lightroom, basic editing, keywording, selection, ranking and finally collection into a live web gallery in under 30 minutes. This workflow works well for Portrait and Event photography but its concepts can be applied to any type of photographic subject.
