How to Auto-Schedule Your Editing Around Your Google Calendar

Instead of blocking editing by hand, let it schedule itself. Here is how lemon.gallery fills your free time with editing blocks worked out around your Google Calendar, without touching your bookings.

To auto-schedule your editing, connect Google Calendar, set your working hours and lunch, and let lemon.gallery drop editing blocks into your genuinely free time. It reads the gaps between your existing commitments, sizes the blocks to your outstanding editing hours, and writes them to a separate calendar so your bookings are never affected.

Why hand-blocking falls apart

Blocking editing manually works for a calm week and collapses in a busy one. Every meeting or moved shoot means reshuffling the blocks by hand, so most photographers give up and fall back to editing whenever they can. An auto-scheduler keeps the plan current without the constant tidying.

How the Organise feature works

You tell lemon.gallery your working hours and when you take lunch. It looks at what is already marked busy in your Google Calendar, finds the free gaps inside your working day, and fills them with colour-coded editing blocks on a dedicated Organise calendar. Run it again after a busy day and it re-plans cleanly around whatever changed.

It never blocks a real booking

The editing blocks are written to a separate Organise calendar and marked as free, so they never reduce the times a client can book. Your booking calendar stays exactly as it was, which means the scheduler can be generous with your editing time without ever costing you an enquiry.
