In this world of digital imaging, photographers have countless new tools at their disposal. But unless you want to spend all your time in front of your computer enhancing and correcting hundreds or thousands of images from each shoot, you need an effective workflow.

As Tom Lee shows, this starts before the shoot, with a plan to capturing images as accurately as possible (eleminating the need for extensive postproduction). After the session, basic tasks - like file backups, basic retouching, and order preparation - need to be completed quickly and efficiently in order to move on to other things.

In this book you'll master the skills needed to develop a custom workflow, so you'll spend more time shooting (and making money!) and less time managing your images.
