my canon workflow is (mac):
shooting with canons DPP (because the danish couldn't get their ct together and now they seem to be after my files!)
cull and edit with Photomechanics
import to lightroom keyword and massage them there
sometimes photoshop (but it is getting less frequent)
Photomechanics to get them in order and out
now with my aptus 7 Photomechanics is not working anymore, and i canot really see using LC11 for cull and edit, what options are there? will iview work? bridge is not seeing compressed files (am i correct?), and i hate it.
i could use the smallish DB jpgs, but that is not really good for final selections, because i don't see 70% of the information
how is your workflow?
I don't mind changing, but it should work with canon and leaf files.

shoot uncompressed, then recompress the files with Leaf Raw Convertor, after that Bridge will be able to read the files even though they're compressed. There's an older thread about this, do a search there should be more info there

If you shoot Leaf tethered, you can save the files directly as compressed - these compressed files are immediately compatible with Bridge and LR (not conversion necessary). If you shoot to CF card also save as compressed for speed gains and run them through Leaf Raw Converter as mentioned to get compressed Bridge & LR readable files. Leaf compressed files are a huge benefit. You can save substantial hard disk space.
Yes ignore my previous post, I think John's method is much more efficient

john, do you really mean shooting compressed when tethered?
so is there any reason to shoot uncompressed?
