Therefore, when you make these giant leaps in your photography and begin to create stunning photos, you can do it again and again getting better and better each time. If you did something six months ago, you could do it again. The beauty of a workflow is it’s repeatable.

The problem is, your edit was such a mess that if I asked you to replicate that image today, you couldn’t do it. How on earth can you develop as an editor and photographer if you can’t repeat your work? Imagine that you created your best work ever a month ago. You may think that ensuring your work is consistent is again, something reserved for professionals. You can get through jobs quicker and then move on to finding more jobs. The effect of that, for a professional at least, is to save you time and money. So, how does a post-production workflow do all these magical things? By knowing exactly how you’ll approach every photo and the steps you’ll be taking from beginning to end, undoubtedly speeds you up. Your workflow will be the backbone of your entire editing style. After all, the two are so closely linked these days.

Aside from all the other benefits, which I’ll delve into more deeply, do not overlook the aid a properly defined workflow can have to your development as an editor and, by extension, photographer. You may be thinking “I’m a casual, amateur photographer, I don’t need this.” You’re so wrong.
