An ongoing issue for many photographers is finding the right workflow solutions that make life easier in post-production rather than more complicated. Our clients feedback has been very positive in relation to how they receive their images after a photo shoot - and we’ve had some time to fine-tune this process. The trickiest part of this package has been creating a simple PDF contact sheet as part of an automated process, that INCLUDES filenames of the images. After much hunting around we finally chose (in conjunction with Apple Mac’s own Automator script software) a handy little freeware script (by Karsten Luth) which does what Adobe and Automator to date haven’t quite managed in one user friendly solution. Essentially it allows the user to process a set of photos into one PDF document, and includes the filenames within the PDF, and saves it to a destination selected by the user (see screenshot).

Immensely useful, we’d recommend as part of any photographers post production processes.
