Building the Right Workflow from Lightroom to Photoshop with Dustin Lucas

To build the right post-production workflow, we have to look at what we want to accomplish as an end result and where we can save the most time. As a Lightroom user, I feel like I’ve milked as much efficiency out of this program as I can, but because of the back and forth with Photoshop, I have to create different workflows. Within these workflows, I have to rely on Photoshop Actions to streamline each edit, but what about large batches of images? We’re in wedding season and I’ve got over a thousand images ready to export out of Lightroom!
Photoshop has automation tools for batch editing and processing images to create copies. These allow you to apply actions directly to your edited images. This is great if you’ve already exported your edits out of Lightroom. To export and apply actions in one fell swoop, you can use Photoshop droplets during export from Lightroom. Droplets are a script that work with Lightroom-to-Photoshop workflows to run an action on multiple images. For batch processing, there is no better time-saving workflow. For your creative edits, you can set yourself up to quickly dodge and burn, custom-tone and mask skin-softening effects instantly.
