Camera Raw Workflow With Bridge, DNG Converter, Camera Raw Plug-in, and Photoshop CS2

Overview

There are efficient workflows, and there are workflows that slow a person down. The author recommends that one should avoid the slow workflows, assuming one wants a life after shooting. The key to an efficient workflow is minimizing steps, becoming fast at performing the repetitive parts, automating as much as it can, and spending quality time only on the final edit selects. At first glance, one might not think that a three-part mix of 1/3 Bridge, 1/3 Camera Raw, and 1/3 Photoshop could be a recipe for an efficient workflow, but it can be. The trick is to know what, how, and when to do the things required.
