Thoughts on Workflow.

Interim Thoughts on Work Flow.

I have been using my own workflow system for some years now but have decided to try out a ready made system.  These have proved to be interesting times and have brought a halt to any other work.  

The first system I tried was Digital Photo Professional.  Looked good and all the suggested features were present.  I fed in a file from my Canon and and worked through the pictures.  All was well and I was pleased with ease with which I could manipulate the pictures.  Trouble came when I tried to upload a file produced in my Olympus.  DPP refused to recognise it. 

The second system was the Olympus Viewer 3.  Looked a slightly simpler program but had sufficient features to cover my needs.  Worked well with an Olympus file but refused to load up a Canon file.  

Now working on learning about Aperture 3.  Have not as yet fed in a file but will practice on some discarded files from my Trash and old files full of pictures I am never going to use.  It's about time I stopped keeping these old files and this seem a good way of thinning them out.

I am not going to move on until I have got at least a working knowledge of Aperture 3.  Hope it doesn't take too long.
