The first step of every shoot editing should be importing and making at least one extra copy of the images you are going to use from the memory card. A good memory card reader is required for this step. I can give quick advice to use Photoshop Lightroom to import the pictures more clearly and quickly.

The most essential and beneficial point you need to remember in this step is to make the backup for each and every image and be sure that you have a good amount of duplicate images so if by chance your original data is lost, you can get the images from the backup files.
