Roughly 1,500 images files has become:

And all those edited files have a watermarked version in a separate folder.
omfg....
I am going to back up the master file tonight. If I don't smack me in the face with a fish.
I still have about 16 problem child images where the red-eye is just too much. My copy of LR can't handle it. I tried using online tools and they did not work. I tried using a graphics program to just draw in the pupil but it looked wrong to me. I tried hiring someone on Fiver and they did great on the red eye but sent me back seriously downscaled images 'to make them sharper' and also did other edits I did not ask for. Fiver allows for 3 revisions so I kept asking for just red eye removal and nothing else ... and they kept sending me back the same downscaled files. So I am at a loss at this point. One or two being fixed would be really sweet for some themed posts I want to make ... but those images may be a lost cause.
One of the weird things about the red eye problem is that I wasn't using a flash. Other people were, boy howdy were they. Some painfully bright. In the images where I am dealing with red eye, it's not from my own camera flash!
Anyway, the giant project of doom is not 100% finished but it's all re-edited, watermarked and well organized enough that I can easily make a mini gallery like this one. I need to redo website galleries, but that can wait a while.
And now to run a backup.
Also I need to stop posting so many mini sets to twitter and tumblr, they'll get 1000x more traction on the new Leverage trailer is out...whenever that happens
