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