Hi all, I have looked around the forum for ideas of software/plugins/scripts that can speed up workflow. Currently I use Aperture 3, CS5, I have tried Lightroom etc and its all much the same (I'm sure there will be an argument there!). I mainly shoot weddings, portraiture and events and have several bits of software that i have found excellent.
Nik Software plugins - I use Dfine, Sharpener Pro, both excellent for removing noise and post sharpening, I occassionally use ColorEfex Pro although I sway more towards actions and SilverEfex Pro is also a good piece of software.
Totally Rad plugins - I have started to use these a lot more, I'm using the RadLab on a trial basis which I think is great and you can see the results before applying them. I use TRA1/2 and Dirty Pictures occassionally.
Portrait Professional - I use this a lot on my portraits but pull back a lot from the default settings, I also use this at events sometimes for a ladies hour, it kind of pulls ladies in who otherwise wouldnt have their photograph taken.
Code & Hustle Storyboard - I bought this on a gamble as I couldnt find any reviews for it anywhere, gamble paid off, I can sort my images into a storyboard for my blog in a couple of minutes rather than hours.
I am sure there are a lot of different options but I find a recomendation better than ploughing through loads of trials, I also appreciate that most of the above cost money and there are an awfull lot of free alternatives that are equally as good. It isnt a definitive list by any account and I am open to any and all suggestions. If you find some software indespensible then please let us all know. I for instance am struggling with making a short video clip encompassing my logo, any pointers for what I should use, how I do it that can save me time and money would be much appreciated, there are after all only a certain amount of hours in the day and I need to sleep at some point :lmao:
