Capturing and editing images in a job is the main benefit of Smart Workflow, unlocking valuable features like:
Capturing images with Smart Tag (tethered)
Sorting images with Smart Sort (QRC, Metadata)
Reviewing Images
Editing Images
How studios capture and edit with Blueprint depends on the individual job's needs.
In this module, we'll break down what the community largely follows as a broad workflow that is broken up into 4 stages:
Prepare - export slate cards; prepare workstations or equipment for a photoshoot.
Capture - run the photoshoot and sync workstations - or upload and sort images.
Review - audit all images to ensure all visible images are ready for processing.
Edit - crop, color correct, extract, etc. - get those images "order ready".

Editing
Review Images
After the photoshoot, editors begin post-production work when all images are assigned to subjects and synced - starting with reviewing images.
During review, the objective is to confirm all visible images are ready to proceed as-is with editing.
Edit Images
Crop, color correct, extract - do all the things needed to make images "order ready" for purchasing online or assigning for any collected pre-orders.

Order Fulfillment
With images captured, assigned, reviewed, and edited - it's time to focus on using those images for order fulfillment, completing actions like:
Activating the job for online proof ordering
Assigning images to pre-orders
Bulk-Adding orders (like No-Order Forms, Coach Team Photos, etc.)
Releasing orders for fulfillment
Ensuring automation of release and direct ship fulfillment of subsequent orders
and more!
