HOW TO PREPARE YOUR FILES

Open Lightroom and go to the Library module in group view (press the key G)

1. Apply your preset/profile to a few images and label them either with 5 stars or a color label so I can identify them. Make any general adjustments that you usually make. If you do sneak peeks, you can just label those.

2. Then, select all the photos that you want to send for editing.

3. While the photos are selected, go to File>Export As Catalog. When the menu window pops up, choose a location on your computer and give it a new name (for example: “smith-wedding-outsource”). Make sure that only the check-boxes are selected exactly like the image example below. The option for “export negative files” should not be checked. Click Save.

4. Close Lightroom.

4. Go to the location where you just saved the recent exported catalog in step 2, select all the 4 items, and compress them (right click>compress to zip file). This will create a compressed folder; this is the folder that needs to be uploaded and sent to me.

IMPORTANT: while you wait for your order to be delivered, do not rename or change the location of the raw files, don’t mess with the folders containing your raw files or change their location. When you receive the edited catalog back, it needs to sync back to the raw files in your drive. Any changes to the names or locations of the raw files will prevent the catalog to sync back. If you accidentally run into this issue, email me so I can help you solve it.
