Introduction: A Smart Workflow

You hear a lot of talk about workflow. The one thing I don’t like about that term is that it contains the word “work.” I’m being facetious, of course, but not completely. Quite often people show me their workflows and I can’t help thinking that they seem to be working too hard.

That’s why I like the term “smart flow.” I know it’ll probably never catch on, but hopefully it will help you remember the idea of working “smart” instead of working hard. My concept of a smart flow is taking advantage of the automation capabilities of Photoshop and using nondestructive, smart techniques. (See the other two books in this Photoshop Productivity ebook series.)
