Today is the COMPLETE opposite of yesterday. Yesterday was a full blown dumpster fire. Today? Sunshine, rainbows, and significantly less internal screaming. 🌈😂
First of all, my charger for my ASUS finally arrived, which means I can edit exponentially faster again. I knew my old HP Envy was slow, but after switching back to my ASUS, I realized I was basically editing photos in the digital equivalent of the Oregon Trail days. If anyone needed proof that technology affects mood, here it is. I am MUCH less grouchy today. 😅
Then I had a Zoom meeting with Zenfolio, and Alex (who is an absolute SAVIOR, seriously, if anyone from Zenfolio sees this, give that man a raise and a coffee immediately ☕👏🏼) walked me through fixing the Digital Download shopping process on my website, and gave me other tips for packages and basic shortcuts for my own sanity.
I’ve gotten a LOT of messages from clients saying the process was confusing/frustrating, and honestly, I agreed. But now? We fixed it. 🙌🏼
Better workflow for me means a smoother shopping experience for you guys, which makes everybody happier!
AND THEN because apparently today was “productive adulting” day, I met with Aftershoot on a Zoom call. They’re gathering feedback from photographers about workflow, and since my type of photography is a little different from their “typical” users, I wanted to show them how I’ve made Aftershoot work for me.
Not gonna lie, now that I really understand the workflow, it’s honestly just as fast as PhotoMechanic for culling. 👀
I also got a sneak peek at some new features they’re rolling out, and May 28th is going to be PRETTY exciting. If you haven’t checked out Aftershoot yet, now’s a really good time 👀👇🏼
