Real Estate Photography: How to speed up high-volume editing of flambient? |
| How to speed up high-volume editing of flambient? Posted: 30 Jul 2020 07:51 PM PDT Hey guys, I'd love to see some creative suggestions for making edits go faster - specifically for speeding up the interchange of images between Lightroom and Photoshop when editing flambient. Currently we use some variant of flambient on a handful of key or problem photos in a house, and do a single frame (ambient with balanced flash) for the each of the rest. The single frames are faster to edit because they stay in Lightroom, and speed is as important as quality for our market and margins; however, the results are relatively poor and I would love to streamline the flambient workflow to the point where it makes sense to blend every single photo in Photoshop, even if it's just a quick 50/50. I've started using actions and keyboard and mouse shortcuts to nearly automate the actual editing but the primary bottleneck is the export from LR > PS. It's under 20 seconds, but when editing 200 images, that's an hour of extra time every night I know there may be some computer upgrades that would speed this up marginally, but I'm wondering if there is a lateral solution that would make the whole process seamless. For example, is there a way to automate the importation of all the layers into their separate files all at once, rather than going one photo at a time? Could this be accomplished with a script? Or is there a way to drag multiple photos from Explorer into Photoshop as layers? I tried converting all the images to smaller TIFs to reduce the file size, and that almost halved the export time but the colors got very weird compared to the RAW, especially on darker homes. I'm running out of ideas, but I'm sure I'm not the only one to have tried to figure this out. Any thoughts? [link] [comments] |
