The Ideal Digital Photographer's Workflow

Ken Milburn, author of the upcoming Digital Photographer's Handbook, has written an easy-to-follow outline on the Ideal Digital Photorapher's Workflow.

"Keeping images organized with the help of a systematic workflow is the key to your sanity. I've written this article in the hopes that it will help you to avoid wasting a lot of time recreating your digital masterpieces, or sifting through piles of digital file clutter in search of original files. What follows is a multi-level list of workflow steps that you can copy and paste on the wall of your digital lab and/or tuck into your camera bag."

Although the article is oriented more toward the professional photographer, I found it interesting that his image management software recommendations include two "consumer-level" tools: Apple iPhoto and Adobe Photoshop Album.
