Whats your flow on processing pictures?

[dhetty]

Right now I have the EOS Utility running with "start automatically when camera connected" as well as "start automatic download"

I connect my camera, turn it on, then images are downloaded to a folder ordered by date.

I load up lightroom and navigate to the root folder then right click and select "synchronize folder". Then I select my date(s) and start looking through.

Is there a more efficient process?

With My Mac, I plug the USB cable in, Photos opens up and shows me the pictures I need to import. I hit "import all" and they get imported.

I click on a few to make sure they imported correctly, then I pop out the card, put it back in the camera and sometimes low-level format it in the camera.

In my case I use a card reader or the built-in one on my computer, and put the card from the camera in the card reader. Then use Lightroom to import from the card. You can setup Lightroom import to put the images in folders by date rename the files much the same as you can with EOS Utility. Card readers are generally faster to work with than a camera connected on a USB cable. This is especially true if you have UHS-II type SD card and use a suitable high speed UHS-II reader.

Maybe, maybe not, once done shooting I load the cars(s) into a reader transfer them into one of four folders based on content then use Thumbs Plus for editing the content.

I use an ethernet cable and EOS utility with my 1DX series bodies, a USB with the others.  I don't like pulling cards unless I have to because the ethernet connector is much more rugged than the card connectors.

I use DPP for most of my editing going to the Adobe suite only when I rarely need to do something DPP won't do or doesn't do well. 

In most cases, cropping and slight exposure adjustment is all I need.  In a few cases I will apply lens correction and fine adjust noise reduction.  I then batch process selected edited files to jpg via DPP.

I shoot only RAW files, EOS utility puts then onto one of the Z drives under date folders in my HP workstation (Z drives are very fast SSD units that plug into the HP workstation processor bus).  Once I am through editing, the files get archived to an external hard drive.

Greetings,

I use a prograde dual card reader.  

I create my own folders.  A source and destination.  Depending on my mood, DxO or DPP.  After corrections, Batch Process or Convert and Save to the destination.  Drag and drop the source folder to my NAS.  It backs up locally and to the cloud.  I end up with 2 local copies and 1 cloud.  Format card in camera and am ready for the next adventure.  Probably not the most efficient but it's just a few mouse clicks and doesn't take that long.
