Rate, flag and label photos Sort a shoot with star ratings, pick and reject flags and colour labels, from the keyboard or the Photo menu. 20 0.7.1

Select photos in Photo Grid or Square Grid, then press a key: 1 to 5 for stars, P to pick, X to reject, 6 to 9 for a colour label. The same actions are in the Photo menu.

Steps

  1. Open the library in View > Photo Grid or View > Square Grid.

  2. Click a photo to select it. Click more photos to build a selection, or use Edit > Select All.

  3. Press a key:

    Key Action
    0 Clear the star rating
    1 to 5 Set the star rating
    [ and ] Lower or raise the rating by one, within 0 to 5
    6, 7, 8, 9 Set a red, yellow, green or blue label
    P Flag as a pick
    X Flag as rejected
    U Clear the flag
  4. To move on faster, hold Shift with a key. It applies the action and selects the next photo. Or turn on Photo > Auto Advance to move forward after every action.

  5. For purple, or to clear a colour label, use Photo > Set Color Label or the photo's right-click menu.

Rating, flag and label changes apply to every selected photo, and you can undo them with Edit > Undo.

Compare photos

Choose View > Compare to see two photos side by side with synced zoom and pan, or View > Survey to see the selected photos tiled. The keys above then apply to the active photo only.

Good to know

  • Rejected only marks a photo for culling. It does not delete the original or remove it from the library.
  • The sidebar has Picks for the photos you flagged. The search box understands fields, for example rating:>3 flag:pick.
  • Choose Help > Keyboard Shortcuts to see every shortcut.
  • Typing in a text field keeps the keys for typing.
