When doing post-processing, there is a workflow that can be followed in order to have a smooth editing process. Firstly, always organize your photos into folders and use proper labeling to identify your selects. Second, when editing, always have a clear goal of what you want to achieve. If you want to make the scene moody, focus on color grading. If you want to clean up the subject’s skin, focus on using the heal tool. Thirdly, always try not to lose focus when editing — and if it helps, it is okay to listen to music while doing so. Fourthly, once the edit is done, export the photos to the right folder labeled “Final Edit” or “First Draft,” depending on whether the client has given feedback. Lastly, even though you improved the photo through editing, treat it also as a learning opportunity — reflecting on how you could have taken the photo differently so that less editing would be required next time.
