I remember reading Tug's blogs

Here http://slikimages.com/2010/04/techniques/using-adobe-lightroom-for-pitchside-image-workflow/

and here http://slikimages.com/2010/10/techniques/emailing-direct-from-lightroom/

but what I wondered is what are people PP workflows when they don't have to submit pitchside.

For example in my thread about about in Camera Sharpening http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=96 Mark (Demilion) says

Mine's set to 3 and then a standard 40,0.8,35 applied in LR before individual adjustment.

Obviously that is one small part of his PP work.

So c'mon guys n gals, it's 10 past 7, you've had yer tea, there is sod all decent on the 800 channels on TV so get typing ;)
 
Mines the same either pitchside or not. The only difference is how I chose the photo's. Longer when I'm at home to consider multiple options rather than just one of a sequence.
 
What is your workflow though Helen?
 
when at home I do the following

things I already have setup on disks are seasons, so a folder for 10-11, 11-12 for example, within there I have game folders for each game, in those folders I simply have three folders, one named original, one low res one high res

arrange into folders (named with game), location
import into lightroom again into a specific named collection
go through all pictures and mark as needed, I use colours to decide on what I want (blue, number 9 key shortcut)
I sometimes mark others to sort after as yellow (key 7)
or X to reject them, once done I run a "delete selected pictures"
then filter by colour (blue)
go through and edit, crop, straighten etc
once done again I have presets setup for watermark locations, export into another folder, export to low res folder, quality 60, watermark middle, screen sharpening set to low, 800 px longest side, 72dpi and then export
I then repeat for high res, sizing to 1800 / 2000 px longest side, 100% without watermark

once everything is done I then backup that entire folder to another disk to keep things backed up and correct

I usually go from start to finish, edited and backed up and uploaded in an hour, varies from 300-600 shots aswell

I do very similar to Whitey, But I use the 1-5 star system instead of the colour flags.
 
Tag decent images in camera during the game, delete the crud as you go. Upload on the fly by ingesting through Photomechanic.

View and adjust tagged images and caption as required (main caption info added on ingest) Then into Photoshop to crop and then process via preset actions and this includes saving and setting Jpeg sizes etc to a preset folder (function keys used for shortcuts).

Then FTP from this preset and watched folder pitchside using Filezilla, though either my Vodaphohone dongle or via local personal hotspot on my Iphone.

I'm sure others have differing methods, but this suits my workflow and gets enough images sent during the game, and send a few more by full time or just after.

Also forgot to mention using a freebie program for players names, squad numbers and on the pitch phrases that are commonly used eg. (cc7, cs1, cc) = David Bell celebrates scoring the opening goal for Coventry City.
