According to the experts at the Exploring Photography YouTube channel there's a good chance that you've been wasting time behind the computer by taking the wrong approach to culling photos after you return from a shoot. This quick tutorial will dramatically speed up this chore so you can get back out in the field with a camera as soon as possible.

Here's how instructor Will Simpson introduces today's eye-opening tutorial: "I'll show you how to cull photos faster than ever and introduce you to a Lightroom editing workflow that almost no photographers are using. It will dramatically speed up the photo-editing process, whether you're working on wedding photos, portraits or landscapes."

Simpson developed this system himself  because of the slowdowns he was experiencing with Lightroom's latest masking update. He provides a quick overview of his innovative process and then takes a deeper dive into some secret sauce that he says can cut your time in half while still delivering pro-quality results."

You'll quickly discern that this isn't the same-old-same-old cumbersome approach for getting the job done. In fact all photographers from novices to seasoned Lightroom users will learn how to improve their post-processing efficiency by following Simpson's step-by-step advice for and trying something outside the box.

Simpson's bottom line is that the traditional method you've been using may work, but it's definitely holding you back.
