Can I ask, after you've culled through on Photo Mechanic and Lightroom, and you've exported the final edits to jpeg, what do you do with the ORIGINAL raw files? How do you avoid all those raw files clogging up your memory on your drives or computer?
Your iMac Pro is probably not as fast as you’d expect because Lightroom doesn’t really benefit from additional cores, just the amount of ram. If you have more ram in the iMac, you may want to try giving it more system memory
Hi Chris! Just curious, could you create a collection and cull from there? Or is it just better in Photo mechanic? If so, why? Btw, thanks for this video!
Hey Chris, half way through the vid so maybe you answer this already but how long do you keep photos backed up for? Do you have hard drives dedicated to archiving anything old or do you delete things after a certain period of time?
Chris Turner Photographer thanks mate! 🙂 Hey if I wanted to attend one of your workshops in Auckland what would be the best way to do so? DM on Instagram and go from there?
This is a great video Chris. Has anything change with how you do things now? I take it once you're finished editing you just copy the folder over to the Lacie drive to archive it.
Ill have to go back and watch it haha. I don’t think so though probably the only thing that has changed would be I’m using a loupedeck for all editing. With the final JPGs I just upload them to Pixieset in full res and then copy the folder of JPGs to the hard drive yeah
That process makes sense (thank you) but it also seems like you're still waiting for a fair amount of time - between importing but not creating smart previews, then importing to photo mechanic, then importing the metadata into lightroom. Do you really find Lightroom is that slow that it's not just quicker to cull within lightroom, without having created smart previews?
So by having a different catalog for each wedding where is your LR. cat kept? I would need to have my LR whole folder on my SSD to switch between computers. Does that make sense?
Wow that is super cool bro! It helps me to save tons of time switching the photo applications. And minimalism software on the computer. Could I ask you a question? How I choose the fast focus point in the wedding? Because everything changing so fast, sometimes I miss the focus. Sadness about that! Moving the joystick is not faster enough, and back focus still take time. What do you think about it? Have you ever lost a photo that you know you will take it or suddenly happens. Missing it by cannot focus correct subject
Is there a way to see higher resolution previews for your Sony raw files? I’m used to working with canon files and the built in previews are great, but I’m struggling with the Sony previews at the moment and hoping for a work around.
This is super helpful! I'm gonna switch to having separate catalogs for each shoot. I recently am traveling more so this method will help a ton with switching between my desktop and laptop.
Hey bro what picture profile did you use with filming your intro? Also do you have a preference from any picture profiles. Thanks bro. Love your videos
Thanks for the video. I tried Photo Mechanic, but the preview from my A7iii are so blurry, how are you able to judge them from those previews? I called PM and they said it is from the small sized embedded JPPEG preview picture. Do you have a work around?
I’ve been emailing them back and forth and it’s apparently an issue with the latest iOS. Apparently they’ve fixed it with PM6 but it’s still not as quick as PM5 imho.
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Good to know. I use them to be able to edit on my phone or wherever I can access my creative cloud. It saves all my edits on all the devices that have access to my creative cloud. I haven't found the best workflow for that yet though. But might be something to look into. Thanks for the reply.
Why wouldn't you cull them in Photo Mechanic first then import the remaining files into Lightroom? You are needlessly putting files into LR that you will eventually delete.
I don’t delete unused files for one, and 2 I don’t cull until I’m ready to edit the wedding same day. I like to bring them all into Lightroom, do a sneak peek then I won’t touch them until it’s editing day for that wedding
This video was made faster than sonys new auto focus.
😂😂
That was super helpful though. I'd never used catalogueing before this so I'm gonna go tidy up my comp when I get home. Cheers

If you want to keep your photos from taking up disk space, then just delete them.
Cheers dude I'll have to try photo mechanic as culling in lightroom is a bitch!
When you pull in metadata to get 1 star photos will it replace all metadata or just the rating?

Hi Chris! Just curious, could you create a collection and cull from there? Or is it just better in Photo mechanic? If so, why? Btw, thanks for this video!
If you use separate catalogs, does that mean you cant sync all of them to lightroom mobile?
Hey Chris, half way through the vid so maybe you answer this already but how long do you keep photos backed up for? Do you have hard drives dedicated to archiving anything old or do you delete things after a certain period of time?
Yeah I’ll just buy a hard drive once a year usually. Only cost $100 or whatever
Chris Turner Photographer thanks mate! 🙂 Hey if I wanted to attend one of your workshops in Auckland what would be the best way to do so? DM on Instagram and go from there?
That's really a great way to cull images and get back into lightroom with blazing fast speed with no running time, Thank you for showcasing that.
Do you use color tagging?

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer thanks this video sorted my head right out
Awesome tips !! Thanks 🙏🏼 Looking forward for your next video.
Do you have Any tips on how to synchronize two Sony camera Shooter 1 and 2. ?
There are videos on how to synchronize camera time clocks on UA-cam I think. It can be done through Lightroom.

Has this changed much in 2 years?
Not really. Use a few extra tools and newer drives otherwise pretty much the same

Very informative thank you

I guess it's kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Gunner Logan lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Kace Alan yea, been watching on flixzone for months myself =)
Why aren’t you impressed with the iMac Pro? Need some Mac buying tips!
Great insight Chris. Love your channel. You’ve helped me massively with making the move to Sony. Keep the vids coming 👍🏼

Hey bro that was SLOG2
New to the channel and fabulous content and informative video
Thanks for the video. I tried Photo Mechanic, but the preview from my A7iii are so blurry, how are you able to judge them from those previews? I called PM and they said it is from the small sized embedded JPPEG preview picture. Do you have a work around?
Yeah I convert to DNG. It’s an issue with Sony unfortunately
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer ok ill try that...thanks a lot!
Seriously the best one EVER that i have found, straight to the point, in seconds UGH thank you~
!
This is super helpful! Thank you so much!
Mate, you having any trouble with the spinning beach ball when leaving PM and the going back in? I’m finding PM much faster than the new PM6.
Not that I’ve noticed. I’ll have a look
I’ve been emailing them back and forth and it’s apparently an issue with the latest iOS. Apparently they’ve fixed it with PM6 but it’s still not as quick as PM5 imho.
Do you utilize "collections" at all in Lightroom?? To take advantage of being more mobile?
Hey mate no not really. May look into it at some stage
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Good to know. I use them to be able to edit on my phone or wherever I can access my creative cloud. It saves all my edits on all the devices that have access to my creative cloud. I haven't found the best workflow for that yet though. But might be something to look into.
Thanks for the reply.
@@chaaaaaaaad are you using Lightroom CC or Classic tho?
What Lut did you used for your video?
Just my own weird concoction, I’m not that happy with it yet. Once I am it’ll be for sale with my presets also
I like the color man. Lmk if you release it and btw u use hlg or slog?
