Easy Index Scanning Workflow with Adam Pratt and Laura Woolsey

Course: Easy Index Scanning Workflow

Do you organize printed photos? Do you scan photos? Do you outsource photo scanning? Do you want to deliver client projects that are chronologically organized and professionally presented? If you answered YES to any of these questions then The Easy Index Scanning Workflow course is for you!

This course isn’t about image resolution, file formats, and scanning software. We cover, in detail, what some of you have come to know as the “Woolsey Method.” What’s interesting is that Adam and Laura independently have been using the same system for years, so we decided to team up and teach it to others. Regardless of what scanner you use, file format you prefer, or resolution you scan at, you’re going to learn about:

  • The most efficient scanning workflow that will save you a ton of time
  • Ways to save money on the scanning and organizing phases of your project
  • How to deliver professional results that are beautifully labeled
  • Clear next steps after you scan your photos
  • A consistent way to handle large collections of physical photos
  • A workflow that works with any format (prints, negatives, slides, even video)
  • A workflow that works with any scanner type (flatbed, high speed, camera scanning, etc.)
  • A process for dealing with collections received in batches over a long period of time
  • A workflow that requires minimal time with the client, which is more cost effective for them and easier for the organizer
  • The ability to “match back” digital and physical assets in the future

Who is this course for?

  • Professional photo organizers who do their own scanning
  • Professional photo organizers who outsource their scanning
  • Scanning specialists who want to deliver professional results and charge premium prices
  • Anybody organizing their own photos who wants an efficient scanning workflow

Here’s feedback from a student:

“I can honestly say this is one of the most useful courses I have ever taken. Fabulous content, well presented. I thought I knew a lot about organizing photos but sensed that my usual methods would not really translate to photo collections in the thousands or even tens of thousands. This information is a game-changer for me. Thank you.” – Nicole Olds
