Announcing ShootDotEdit’s Lightroom 5 Workflow!!!!

Developed with Jared Platt, this LR5 Catalog will speed up your workflow exponentially! Here are some of the highlights of the Custom Workflow:

1. Up to 30X faster
By harnessing the power of your computer rather than your internet connection, the ShootDotEdit integrated Lightroom 5 Workflow requires far less data to be transmitted for editing. Less data means less time watching an uploader. This reduces upload time by up to 30x!

2. Custom Smart Collections
We’ve worked with top industry professionals to extend Lightroom 5′s existing smart collections to easily tally and organize your images.

3. Custom Drag and Drop Collections

Select your own DotPreview images
Select your Black and White images
Guarantee your favorites are kept during cull

Also, check out Jared Platt’s LR5 Video Announcement and review of Smart Previews!

LENSPROTOGO LAUNCHES FREE iOS APPLICATION

posted in New Features and Improvements

Thursday, November 29, 2012

Our friends at LensProToGo have just launched their brand new iOS APP.  It’s FREE.  It’s AWESOME and we want you to know about it!

Consumers can now rent photo and video equipment from their phone!

LensProToGo, one of the nation’s largest camera, lens, and DSLR video equipment rental companies, today announced the release of its free iOS app, which
allows renters to browse and order equipment right from their phone in less than 30 seconds.

The app adds two new features not yet available on the website to make the rental process easier and more efficient. Users can mark select gear as a “Favorite” while browsing over 400 items by brand (featuring an up to date line up from both Canon and Nikon) or type. Favorite items are always quickly accessible in the “Favorites” view so a renter can immediately select gear from their personally created list. Additionally, experienced users will benefit from the new “Quick Add” icon which allows them to add multiple items to their cart instantly, even from their Favorites list, without viewing the items detail page.

If users do want to learn more about a piece of equipment, the app’s item detail page provides photos, descriptions, technical specifications, suggested accessories and even a related item for comparison. Because LensProToGo is staffed entirely by working professional photographers and DSLR filmmakers, their expertise is essential to providing these relevant suggestions. The app also provides links to camera manuals for photographers to view while in the field or on the go. Additionally, customers can access LensProToGo’s social media accounts and blog, as well as find directions to the store.

“The idea for the LensProToGo App came from a desire to make it easier, faster and more convenient for photographers and filmmakers to get the gear they need no matter where they are.” said Paul Friedman, Owner of LensProToGo. “Whether they are on location, waiting in line at the grocery store, or on the side of a mountain renting gear is just a few taps away. From a development standpoint, we wanted to really focus on efficiency. As photographers and filmmakers ourselves, we understand just how precious time can be.”

The new app can be downloaded from the App Store by searching “LensProToGo” or through the following link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lensprotogo/id577126746?ls=1&mt=8

About LensProToGo
Located just outside of Boston in Concord, Mass., LensProToGo is a national online photo and video equipment rental company. It is staffed only by working professional photographers and DSLR filmmakers, who provide their customers with an in-depth understanding of the field and the equipment. Hard sided, watertight Pelican Cases are used to ensure the gear is protected during transit and ready for the customers
shoot. This ensures the quality provided to customers is always exceptional.

The goal of the company is to get the customer into the right piece of gear, not necessarily the most expensive. Using their personal knowledge and unparalleled customer service, LenProToGo ensures that renters will have a successful and top-notch experience. For more information, visit the LensProToGo website

NEW standard turnaround, as fast as 48 HOURS!!!

posted in Company,New Features and Improvements,News,Photog Industry

Thursday, March 8, 2012

When we first opened the ShootDotEdit doors in 2007 (5 years ago), we were on the cutting edge of the post production industry by completing and returning every event within 8-10 business days.  Our professional wedding photographers were jumping up and down, knowing that they would be getting an entire wedding edit returned in that amount of time.  Yep, you read that correctly!  Under 2 weeks, and happy, happy, happy!

Boy-oh-boy, things have changed!  Photography technology has changed.  Wedding pro demands have changed.  Especially when it relates to turnaround times for their brides.  Wedding pros are now experiencing the pressure and expectation of returning images to their couples FAST! And that brings us to today’s long awaited announcement.

Introducing the arrival of our new standard turnaroundas fast as 48 HOURS!!! Now, our “eyes-on-hands-on” custom color correction is returned fast, fast, fast!!!  Faster turnaround makes for happier clients.  Happier clients spend more money.  And faster turnaround equals more profit.  FAST is BEST, and nobody is faster than ShootDotEdit.

ShootDotEdit is the first choice post processing partner for over 5,000 professional wedding photographers, spanning 40 countries.  With determination to best serve the wedding pro, we are inventing proprietary products like the interactive Color Wizard and DotPreview.  And now, with the addition of our as fast as 48 HOUR turnaround, you can be sure that as the demands of your photography business speed up, we’ll be fast enough to support you.

ShootDotEdit is the new standard.  Turnaround as fast as 48 HOURS.  FAST is BEST, and nobody is faster.

Surprise! The Color Wizard is here!

posted in Education,New Features and Improvements,News

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

We’re learning.  We’re learning that our business is at it’s peak performance when we listen to the needs of our customers, and then act accordingly.  Over the past 3 years, we’ve heard reverberating requests for a more comprehensive color profiling system.  Options, control, and flexibility have been the common thread.   And now, we’ve taken color to a whole new level.

Statements like, “My brides skin tone is different than the 1 color skin tone you provide”.  Or, “I would really, really, like a color profile that provides more contrast”.  ”Why can’t I ‘create’ my own color profile”?   ”Do you have a color profile for an African American skin tone that is on the uber cool side”?   And, the list goes on and on.  :)

The questions are sincere and for the most part, simple.  However, the answers are much more complicated.  Hence, our caution and patience in delivering the right solution.

No more waiting, the solution is here.  The ONLY comprehensive skin tone color profiling solution of its kind.  And, we’re excited to share it with you!   We hope you’ll share the excitement as well!

After nearly 1 year of development, today we officially announce “Color Wizard”:

The ultimate upgrade.

We’ve spent nearly a year preparing to provide you with increased control and flexibility.
And, now, it’s here.  Color Wizard. Learn more >>

See what’s new.

  • Dark, Medium, Light, and Fair skin tone options!
  • New “Super Contrast” option
  • etc., etc.    Learn more >>
