Plan a photo workflow in Lightroom. Types of photos and volume: [PHOTO_TYPES_AND_VOLUME]. Storage and backup now: [STORAGE_AND_BACKUP]. Purposes (web, print, clients): [PURPOSES]. Skill level: [SKILL_LEVEL].

Give a numbered workflow: import into a folder structure by date, for example 2026/2026-04-12_event-name/, keeping the original file numbers; apply a metadata template with copyright and contact details [VERIFY]; cull by rejecting obvious failures first, then rate keepers from one to five and make a short list of picks; group edits; basic corrections; export presets for web and print; and backup.

Estimate time with arithmetic, for example 600 photos culled at 5 seconds each is 50 minutes. Present export presets as a table with Use, Size, Quality, Sharpening and Colour space, to be confirmed against each destination's requirements. Set a backup rule of three copies on two types of media with one off site, and test restoring a folder once a quarter.

Include a first-week plan, a checklist of mistakes to avoid (editing without a backup of originals), notes on colour consistency, and a reminder to get permission before publishing photos of identifiable people.
