Delete obvious rejects immediately
Move “Keep” images to Select folder
For each “Keep”: note what makes it strong
Compare to existing portfolio — does it add something new?
Check for series potential (3+ related images)
Flag images needing refinement (upscale, colour, crop)
Update portfolio index or spreadsheet
Back up selected images to cloud storage
