Processing images in Lightroom Classic
I’ve had some questions about how I process images in Lightroom, and I thought the easiest way to explain it was to show everyone, so I’ve created this video where I run through a batch of images from import to done, including all of my normal meta data content like GPS and captions. My goal is always to spend the time needed to make the images look good and to be able to find them again later, but not spend more time than that.
I Plan on doing more videos like this in the future, probably using single images and going into more detail on some of the processing I do with them. For this first one, I felt going over the overall workflow would be a good introduction. I’m curious if you find this kind of video useful, and what you’d like to know about my processing workflow.

I have in the last few months shifted my sharpening and noise reduction over to using the tools from Topaz Labs and to be honest, their Sharpen AI and Denoise AI tools do this job way faster and better than I can. To give you a sense of how well they work, here’s a gallery of the images from this session showing the results prior to and after sharpening and noise reduction. For each image, before is on the left, after is on the right
