August Meeting Recap

[Alan Hunt]

At last night’s August meeting we talked about the new Lightroom Clarity slider briefly and then spent most of the time discussing how we each backup our photographs and our photographic infrastructure and we started discussing photographic workflow. What we discovered is that each of these topics is highly individual, but there is a lot to be learned in seeing how others do things. Workflow and backup strategy, for most people, tends to evolve over time.
