Workflow
A simple click of the shutter isn’t how great photos are made – that’s just the start of the journey. From that raw frame to the final print or display, every image passes through a series of crucial stages. Each step demands the correct tools, and the choices you make along the way can make all the difference to the finished result. The workflow category in the PN Awards celebrates the kit that keeps photographers’ creative pipelines running smoothly. This year’s shortlist once again spans the entire process – from the moment you save and view your files to sharing them. It includes high-quality imaging monitors that ensure colours are accurate and details are precise, as well as reliable devices to keep those screens perfectly calibrated. You will find powerful image editing software that brings your creative vision to life alongside photographic printers that turn pixels into tangible works of art. With AI coming on strong in image cataloguing and editing to automate some of the key but essential tasks, there’s a lot of new technology to get your head around and vote for. Of course, a print is only as good as the paper it’s made on, so premium photographic papers are also in the spotlight delivering texture, tone and permanence. Behind the scenes, the indispensable heroes like memory cards and external storage devices are there to keep your images safe, secure and ready to work on whenever a burst of inspiration strikes. Whether you’re documenting events, shooting weddings or creating competition-worthy club images, our workflow shortlist offers something for every photographer. These products don’t just support your craft, they take your images from vision to reality. workflow category once again spans the entire process – from the moment you save and view your files to sharing them This year’s shortlist for the
