Right now everyone is in the middle of their busy season.  Weather you do families, high school seniors or weddings summer into fall can be the busiest time of the year for photographers.  One of the most important parts of your work-flow is getting images online and into the hands of your clients. 

Along with being busy means that you need to maximize your work-flow and streamline things.   One of the biggest complaints I have about our client gallery is that there are not file names on the images.  I know that this is one thing we are looking to fix, but in the mean time I want to have them there NOW. 

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, while I was talking to a friend, she mentioned that she used ProofMaker to get her images ready for online galleries.  I shelved that until a few weeks ago when I had three client galleries to get online, and pack up our family for a trip to Michigan.  My head was spinning.

So I went online to check out Mike D’s  products.  I was very impressed.  Mike is not only great at answering your questions, but he provides detailed documentation on how to load the scripts and use them.  Each time I had a questions or issue, he was there and responded within hours, which for a one man show is pretty impressive.

These two programs have really helped me to speed up my workflow.  In addtion to Proof Maker he also has another program called Autoloader.  At this point I don’t know what has helped my workflow more, the proof maker or the autoloader.  Next week I will go into more detail about each of these products!
