To prepare my photos, these are the steps I took
Compile
I browsed through my entire gallery for photos and sent any that I believed I could use to google drive which was where I downloaded them to my laptop, categorized them within a folder called, “Photography Photos,” and renamed them.
Spreadsheet
After that I created a “Photos” spreadsheet which recorded the file name, photo name, editing status, category, and other information about the photo.
Some lines are highlighted in different colors. This is what they mean:
Purple: not included in any gallery
Red: moved to a different category
Orange: might be moved to a different category
Edit
Different photos required different edits, but I did, at least, perform basic adjustments on all photos such as curves, levels, spot healing, etc. Some photos required more attention than others such as color balance and masked adjustment layers.
Once the photo was done being edited, it was resized so that its longest side was 1920px in length. After that, I placed my watermark in the corner. The watermark was a white or black Crown Only version of my logo. The use of the black or white logo depended on the brightness of the corner of the image. If the image had a dark corner, I’d use the white logo and vice versa. Finally, I placed each one into this website, which removed all meta data from the images.
Now they’re ready to use.
