I was browsing around on luminous-landscape.com and found this article by Fred Scholtz: An Image Processing 'Workflow' - Step-by-Step Processing of Photographs using Photoshop. It made me stop and think about my own 'workflow', and how mine would compare with others on this site. I do some of the steps that Mr. Scholtz describes, but not all. I also do some of the steps differently from the way he describes.

Do any of you use such a complex and extensive 'workflow'? If so, do you go to such great lengths just for challenge photos, or for all of your photos? I̢۪d love to hear your thoughts on this, perhaps even a description of your 'workflow'(s).

wow that is quite extensive.

This looks like a really complex 'workflow'. I never did anything myself, but recently downloaded this photoshop action which seems to help sharpen the raw images quiet well. After this I only do some levels and curves. Now I am beginning to use dodge/burn after my experience at Yosemite where the sky was too bright as compared to foreground

That's a great 'workflow', but if you do that much to each image, you'd better be shooting like 40 a week. I shoot around 400 a week average. I do a lot of that stuff but not in that much detail that many times.

Wow. Have to read up on that in more detail when i have some time. Might learn something...

Current flow... crop/rotate, USM (500%, .1, 4), hue/sat, curves, USM (about 200%, .3, 7 - depends on image)

this changes depending on if i use channels to make it b&w, or add a border, etc. I clone out flaws at some point, usually on a copy of the background. If am getting them printed, then the crop is a 4x6 ratio and the last USM is left off. I only use levels if the exposure is crappy.
If it is a noisy shot, i start with neat image.

I used to do more, but this works for me 90% of the time.
