This is what I do differently, compared to yours:* Take pictures with camera. *Same, but I format my card first. Transfer pictures onto multiple external SSDs (had to start using masking tape to label them). *Tracking multiple SSDs creates confusion by itself. Try to get something like a large RAID drive where you can store everything and use the SSD to load specific jobs for on the go editing. Reformat memory cards on camera. *I used to do wedding photography, and I learned to never format my cards till I'm on the next job, temporary backup, lol. Either keep pictures on external SSD OR transfer to Desktop computer OR Laptop computer. *I never store photos on my desktop or laptop, I prefer external drives. Lack of storage space on a computer can slow everything down, or even prevent you from working. Import and process photos in Lightroom. *Same Do my post-process and adjustments to photos. *Same, but I can also send to Topaz and back. Export photos as JPEG. *Same Import photos into Topaz DeNoise or Topaz Sharpen. *Topaz is installed as a plugin in my lightroom, so I use it there, rather than on JPEGS, it's much better. Save as final JPEG for online distribution. *Not needed.
