Title: Will FlashPipe help me with my workflow?
Post by: Eljae on December 20, 2009, 06:46:18 PM
I incorporate a slideshow in Lightroom at events.  I shoot Raw + jpg small.  I load all the jpgs into LR, rate them, and let them display randomly.

Back at the studio, I load all the Raw images into LR, go through my culling process, and then make adjustments individually to about 500-800 images.

Can FlashPipe offer any advantages over my current method?

Ok, maybe a bad question, I'll try to rephrase it.

I have about 20 minutes to load in photos, choose about 150 of and tweak them in Lightroom, and start the slideshow (and eat too if I am lucky).

I shoot Raw/jpg fine/small, can FlashPipe send only the jpg images to a folder (and ignore the Raw's because they take too long to load).

You can indeed - if you click on the number of the Raw files(square brackets will appear) , Flashpipe will ignore them -

I also find the ability to create sub-folders in flashpipe rather than doing it in Windows first a great timesaver

That is a nice function.

Thank you Brian!

When I want to load my Raws, do I just click on the number of Raws to remove the brackets?

No - it will remove the brackets automatically  :D
