Work flow I use with all my cameras

1. I only shoot raw

2. Camera card removed into card reader.

3. Adobe Light room reads directly from card, copies into master file for the date photo was taken after it is converted to DNG. LR also makes a backup copy on a backup drive attached to computer. GPS track files are used to have LR apply location information.

4. Dropbox looks at all of the files and backs up new and modified files in the cloud. I use an additional feature from Dropbox for a few dollars a month that keeps all deleted files and previous changes so any photo accident,y deleted on the computer are still available.

5. Editing takes place in Light room where all changes are non destructive and remain within the DNG file.

6. keywords are applied from LR.

7. Star rating is used. I  use one star as a delete indicator two to five for rating. When finished filter one star and less and remove from disk. Then filter 4 and better and export those as JPEG directly from LR to Zenfolio web site provider.

been doing this for years now and it works for me.

As with many things in life a great photograph has strong appeal for what is NOT in the picture.
