If you're spending hours adjusting and cropping your images in Photoshop or other editing software, it's quicker and easier to made the adjustments in the camera as you shoot.  A few seconds at the camera will save minutes (or even hours) behind the computer!
 

When you're done with shooting a digital job, here's a safe, easy to use workflow procedure to follow BEFORE editing your images:

1. Using Windows Explorer, create two folders in a convenient location on your local or external hard drive.

2. Name the first folder "JobNameOriginals"

3. Name the second folder "JobNameEdited"

4. 

5. Insert the camera card into your card reader.
   Select/Copy/Paste all the images from your camera card into your "JobNameOriginals" folder.

6. After you've copied the files from your card to your hard drive, don't erase or format the card.  We recommend waiting to erase/format your camera card just before your next job, just in case you need them later.*

7. Using your image editing software of choice "Photoshop etc", view the images in the "JobNameOriginals" folder on your local hard drive. 
   (It's faster than trying to view/edit them from the camera card.)

8. As you edit your images, save the ones to be printed at the lab into your "JobNameEdited" folder.  This way we always have the Originals in their folder untouched in case you need to go back to them.  Never change and save images back into the Originals folder....think of this folder as your "film".

9. You're now ready to open BPRocs and prepare an order for the lab.

10. We also keep digital copies of your files in our system for 6 months so you don't have to send the files back for reprints or enlargements....just use the 'Reorder' features in your BPRocs.
