I start looking at the thumbnails in Adobe Bridge. I only bother to open the ones that jump out a grab me. I open in Adobe Raw and do the basic adjustments like shadow, brightness, highlights and basic sharpness.  Occasionally there might be something else that needs tweaking there. This really should not take over 15 to 20 seconds. I then open in Photoshop and see how the overall shot looks. I always go to Vivesa in Nik Tools and do a couple of basic tweaks there. If needed I will do any control points there and tweak them separately. Depending on what I have to do there should take from between 10 seconds to 5 minutes. I then see if there are any crops that I want to do. Then if there are any objects I want to remove I go to the content aware healing brush and cloning stamp. This can increase the time depending on what I want to do. Then I go to a script that resizes, frames and saves the photo in a separate folder on my desktop ready to upload. Most times I only spend about a minute on any one photo. If I do find a photo that just knocks my socks off I may spend hours on it getting every single detail just perfect.  Once you learn your processing and get your skills up to par you really should not be spending that much time on the average photo. IF you are then you may need to work on your shooting skills.</blockquote>
