My workflow is similar, with a minor tweak. 1) After rating the pics (I use color tags in OS X), I copy and paste them into a tmp folder on my desktop. 2) I run an Automator script that took 2 mins to setup and scales all the images to something like max 1024px in any direction.* 3) I drag them into a shared iCloud library * Why do I resize via automator? It makes the files super lightweight and very quick to appear on all our devices. I still have the originals if I ever want to print, but otherwise this resolution is almost always plenty big enough.
