Hey, just wondering in what order you guys work on your finest pieces.
Right now, I tend to shoot everything in RAW. For DPC, I simply import the picture, usually some curves or maybe some selective color and resize.
For stock I tend to import RAW first, export to TIFF for noise ninja and open it back in PS to save it at full size.
I hardly ever print but when I do, main difference is that I resize to a 300dpi fitting picture. |

I shoot in Jpeg at the highest settng (but that mostly depends on if i'm travelling or not), dump all my images from the card onto my Flashtrax 20Gb portable HDD, open them up in CS2, play with the settings, save, duplicate the images I want for stock, keyword them using Imatch, batch upsize them using CS2, burn, post and sell. Backup backup backup..

I think that if you search the forums you will find this has been answered, at length, numerous times. That may be why your response rate is low.
Mine varies with each pic, but basically:
Levels
Contrast/brightness (usually contrast)
Saturation
Sharpen
Resize (including dpi if necessary)
USM
If noise reduction is necessary, before resize
If applying filters of any kind, before USM
Again, a very basic workflow. I don't seem to have a particular genre/style or if I do I have not recognized it yet so it can vary greatly. It really does depend on the photo and the conditions under which I shot it. |

My workflow is super secret, so I can't share it. I'm just kidding of course.
I usually spend a good deal of time and thought on every picture to display on the web, so they all get something different.
(display on the web)
I quickly weed out the throw-aways though, if composition isn't what I like, it's gone -- I could spend all the time in the world editing it, and it's never going to amount to anything, so I just junk it right then and there.
Once I have one picked out, I'll look at it and just think what it needs -- what could make it better. Then I usually just resize right then and there, sharpen, adjust curves, selective color, some dodging/burning, and away we go. Add the border, and it's done.

I can't necessarily say I have a set workflow though, it's usually different for every picture though.
