The only way you can effectively sort through 1,000 images at one per second and critically evaluate the images with an eye to which will be processed, which will be kept but not processed, and which will be binned immediately is to have multiple images of a low number of shots. All you'd be doing is picking the best of a multiple series.Tony CooperFloyd L. Davidson
For the high-volume photographer, organization for selection is the most time-consuming aspect. If that photographer took 1,000 shots of an event, reviewing those 1,000 shots and determining which are worthy of efforts in post is the part that takes up time. The actual post work on the individual shots is minimal if the photographer has decent skills using the camera.
Bullshit son. I use a highly modified version of a very old program called XV to sort images. Going through 1000 pictures takes about 15 to 20 minutes at most. Just about 1 per second, more or less.
The program is immaterial. I can do that in Bridge or in FastStone. The *program* doesn't tell you which image is the one you want to process in post. The program simply allows you to move from image to image and display it full screen.
If it's an event, while each image may be a different view of - say - a crowd scene - the one-second claim only says you're picking the possible hits from the sure misses. I would surely hope that you're spending more than one second on the "possible hits". If I'm shooting a crowd scene, I'm going to spend much more than a second on even the ones that look like sure misses. Sometimes what misses as the primary scene is a winner if cropped to something not noticed when framing the images.
