I’m with Angela in that any more than 10 mins, 15 tops, is more than enough for 99% of images.  For this exercise we are really looking for the processing style/approach and cropping rather than exterminating every single dust spot or minor blemish or any image composites etc.

>> another thought on this - I have done (monochrome) work in the dark room back in the late 80's. One thing I have learned from that is that the picture is taken in the camera, the dark room work is only to enhance the story the picture is to tell the viewer. I approach all my editing in Lightroom the same way - if I can't enhance the the picture in the way I envision it in Lightroom without spending tons of time, then this picture is not worth it and I move on to another one. 
>> Using this approach I tend to only spend 5 - 10 minutes on a picture, sometimes a bit more, and get my editing done fairly quickly, which is why I think editing seven pictures in Lightroom shouldn't take too much time and is worth the effort.

When we did that, a number of participants found that they had issues with their printers or that their colour management was set up incorrectly.

>> >> If you are interested in participating I need one image from you that will then be shared with the other participants for them to process independently.  If we aim for say 7 participants then we will end up with a total of 49 images to review on the night (7 images each processed by 7 individuals!).  I don’t want to impact too much on Paul’s full and carefully planned/timed agenda...!
>> >> 
>> >> If you are interested in participating please drop me an email and upload your image to the shared drive below. Given that we all use Lightroom or something similar I’m happy to start with either a raw or a full res jpeg file for maximum flexibility, with final output at the club standard 1600 x 1200.  I’ll confirm the final list (if we have too many) and circulate them as soon as possible so you can all start processing in good time, along with instructions for saving the finished images.  I’ll then pull them all together for a presentation on the night.
>> >> 
>> >> Dave and I did this with the 7pm group last season and it was a very good way of discovering different interpretations of the image.  Please be prepared to offer a brief explanation of why & how you processed each image as you did at the meeting.  It is a great way to show off and share your processing skills with the wider group so I expect it to be a fully interactive session on the night.
