[QUOTE="skater, post: 469304, member: 19158"] My workflow used to involve flipping through them using Preview on my Macbook. Unfortunately recent versions of OS X have slowed that down so badly that it's no longer usable for that. Now, I import the pictures into Darktable on my new desktop machine (with an SSD and plenty of RAM) and flip through them there to decide what to delete. I do at least minimal processing on most of the keepers. Most won't take more than a few seconds. I keep more than I probably would for myself, because my wife likes lots of pictures for her scrapbooks. (Our hobbies mesh well.) I'm working on the first pass of our pictures of the Mackinac Bridge right now. I had no idea how fast fog could roll in. At 20:30:48 it's clear. At 20:41:08, we packed up, because the deck of the bridge at its highest point is COVERED WITH FOG. So...less than 11 minutes. I was kind of disappointed because I was really rocking the long exposure pictures and getting that smooth water and streaks of lights from cars on the bridge. I was in the zone. But I was also relieved because we were being eaten alive by the bugs, so having an excuse to retreat was good. Turned out there was 1,210 pictures from the whole road trip. I'm down to 998, and I skipped quite a few from the first baseball game that will be deleted (not sure what the wife wants for her scrapbook). Unfortunately, I seem have a lot of trouble with my Tokina 11-16 focusing crisply at anything other than 11mm, which is my go-to lens for museums with large artifacts (cars, planes, trains, etc.). I've been following the threads on fine tuning the focus, so I'll have to test it. [/QUOTE]
