Editing a full portrait shoot from start to finish is where you really see whether a workflow holds up. In this video, I’m taking you through my actual process using the TourBox Elite and its Dynamic Panels — a setup I’ve been refining for more than six months across real client work. This isn’t a feature demo or a scripted walkthrough. It’s the way I genuinely move through a full day of portraits: culling, colour work, retouching, and final export.

Dynamic Panels let me keep the tools I use most right under my hand, without digging through Lightroom or Photoshop menus or breaking my flow. The goal isn’t to “edit faster” as a headline — it’s to stay focused, make consistent decisions, and keep the creative rhythm going when you’re working through hundreds of images from a single shoot. The TourBox layout I’ve settled into has become a natural part of that process.

If you’re curious how a tactile controller fits into real portrait editing, or you want to see a practical start‑to‑finish workflow without shortcuts or gimmicks, this is the full breakdown of how I edit my portraits these days. Thanks to TourBox for supporting the video and letting me show the workflow exactly as I use it.
