Rate Photos

The number one method I use to organize my photos is rating them. By applying star ratings, I determine the shots that are worth keeping, the ones I want to edit later, and the ones I’m ready to share with others. Pairing ratings with other metadata, such as events for example, I can immediately view the best photos captured during a particular vacation or holiday.

To rate a photo:

  • In the Media Browser, with View > Details enabled, click the gray stars that appear below a photo to set a rating from 1 to 5 (FIGURE 3.24).

  • Select one or more images and click the stars under one of the photos to apply the same rating to them all.

  • Select one or more images and press a number key between 1 and 5 corresponding to the rating you want to apply.
