Travel w/DSLR: Do You Post-Process All Shots? Just curious about this. Those of you who travel and shoot with a DSLR (or high-end P&S), assuming you've taken hundreds of photos while eliminating the worst, do you post-process all of them on the computer? This seems to me to be a timely endeavor ... especially when I hear of some taking 1000+ pictures.

I don't take that many pictures, at least not all at once, but what I usually do is keep them as originals unless I want to print them or have some other specific use for them, or I just happen to be feeling especially artistic at the moment :) If I have one I want to sell or print, then I'll tweak it, but I don't do all of them.

If you are using a program like adobe bridge... the pictures can be edited before processing.. then just process those that are the ones you want. I don't know how else you can pick the pictures you want unless you are using the lcd to eliminate "bad" pictures... this is not always an accurate way because the lcd is not a great way to view the pictures for detail and sharpness.

For me, yes on all the ones I want to show on my PC or print them out. Just the basic contrast adjustment, resize, sharpening and cropping (when needed). The rest will be deleted.

I have been using RawShooter, from Pixmantec, to process my raw images. RawShooter provides a convenient method to rank each shot as 1, 2, 3, or trash. I go through all the shots, ranking and tossing, then go back and convert only the 1s. Sometimes I go back later and find some 2s, or even 3s, that I upgrade and process further.

Yes, shoot 500 to 1000 images in a week: children, wildlife and landscapes for my portfolio to be. I live in Cody, WY--wildlife a plus, many birds-------take images daily, just for practice in order to learn more about lighting and composition.

I'm a pack-rat. First, I'll burn everything to a dvd. Then, I'll make a first pass through all with my creative partner. Then I'll make a second pass on my own before I begin any adjustments. I always save everything because you never know when a mistake will come into vogue.

Professional and hardcore photographers are going to bash me for this one...BUT! Something you MAY want to tinker with is Adobe's "Process Multiple Images" feature, which can chunk through a bunch of pictures and do things like auto levels and contrast. Of course, this course of action definitely has its limitations, but may be a good start for some pictures..... Personally, I will process any picture I plan to show anybody.

Hi Cheryl, when traveling I bring with me a EZdigimagic (CD/dvd burner). I do not (or sometimes can not) have my computer with me, and do not want to spend hours on it during a vacation or trip...So every night I spend 10 min burning my memory to a cd and voila ! done ! For me this is the best way, all my images are on CDs and I can go thru them when I'm home. (I usually do a lot of chimping first to eliminate all the bad one )

Cheryl, Here's what I do. After taking a first pass at my photos, I will upload almost all of them to a web based photoprocessing site. I then have a 4x6 prints made of each one. Just like in the film days. That way, I get immediate gratification, I have hard copies I can show to friends, put in scrap books, tape to the fridge, post on my cubicle wall, etc. It's much easier to upload them and have the service print the first copies, then try and struggle with them myself. Then ... I go through them again, and work with the ones I want to enlarge, crop, color correct, etc. On a safari last year, I had approximately 800 prints made (less than $100). Since then, I've worked on 2-3 dozen individual images.
