Workflow checklist (pre-event → post-event)

Pre-event: confirm photo policy, set metadata template, create gallery structure, prepare watermark.
During event: capture, cull, backup to at least two locations, tag images with match/athlete info if possible.
Post-event: batch-edit, export web-ready JPEGs, upload to SmugMug, add captions/keywords, set pricing and access controls.
Publish: announce gallery, enable sales, monitor downloads and customer questions.
Archive: store originals offsite and keep one web-optimized version for quick reorders.
