Workflow Example #1 (Lightroom)

In this Lightroom video I walk through processing a selection of photos. We start by choosing which ones to keep or discard, then explore post processing options on the keepers. As we go through the processing workflow, I point out keyboard shortcuts and techniques I am using.

WARNING: This is uncut and includes mild cases of rambling and indecision! It is intended to be an example for beginners who would benefit from hearing someone narrate their processing thought processes. I know it is probably too long and will correct that in future installments.
