Thanks to Josh Delyea Creative for correction on the Color Tag in the comments!! To remove the color label, just press the hot key again! For example, if you press 6 to label your selection red, just press 6 again to remove the color selection. 🤯 its so simple! lol😂
I appreciate the video. Using stars ⭐️ is so much more efficient than colors because there are limited auto programmed ways to filter them. The one thing I would add is how quick a Tourbox controller is for this so that the star, selection filters, left/right select, and zoom are all assigned to one controller for a super fast work flow. No more reaching for hot keys or the resulting hand pain that comes with it. It probably made my workflow 10x faster.
@@Iruinyourkdr you can add a star rating and flag in Lightroom but I dont believe you can add colors tags. to add stars, same thing just press 1, 2, 3 and so on.
Thanks for the auto advance tip! I had never used this and it also works with Pick/Reject which is how I do my first cull and then on the second pass through those I do 5 stars yielding me three collections Full Shoot, Pics, Selects this is Scott Kelby's SLIM LrC system but the auto advance tweak really saved me time!
Good tip, Caps lock to auto advance, release caps lock to release auto advance.. Thanks... Suggestion...... Instead of 0 or 1 to cull, select all images and hit 1, now start from beginning and pick out your 0 images. a lot less clicking.
The problem with culling in LrC is that it renders full resolution photos quite slowly. Many photographers use something like Photo Mechanic for culling because it renders photos almost instantly. They then import the selects into Lightroom for editing and cataloging. Personally, I use Narrative Select which not only renders photos virtually instantly but also overlays every face in the photo with a two-part symbol. On part shows whether the person's face is in focus, partially in focus, or out of focus. The second part shows whether the person's eyes are open, partially open, or closed - all without zooming in at all. You can zoom to check something if you want, but the symbols give you the information without zooming. I shoot primarily sports and with NS, I can easily cull 60-80 photos a minute.
Thank you, Will! This is great - and very helpful for us real estate photographers (LOTS of images to go through). ONE QUESTION*: I do a great many photos that are exposure batched in the camera and then "stack them" by time in Library. So later on, say after merging HDR or doing layers in Photoshop, I want to delete the stacks. *Q: HOW can image stacks be quickly deleted without having to expand each of them? As you probably know, it seems Lightroom only deletes the top image of a stack, thus forcing you to expand each and every image of each and every stack - a real slow process. Thanks again!
Great presentation. I can cull thru my images quick now. Quick question I do have the stars but I am missing the star rating selection scroll down where you have the arrow line and arrow icon next to the stars. How do I bring it back? Thank you.
so i think i know what you're talking about, you mean the bar that allows you to choose your "filter photo by" that's right above the photos. I have no idea how to turn that on and off. I looked all around and couldnt find it lol. however if you go to (on a mac, might be different on PC): File - Library Filters (make sure they are enabled - enabled filters) go to Filter by Rating and select the star value you want to filter by. That is a work around.
Hi Will! You ever revisit your old shoots in your catalog, flip through all the photos you originally dismissed, and thought to yourself... "Hey! These are actually pretty good!" After enough time has passed, I find myself looking at all the "crap" shots with a fresh set of eyes. Anyway that's the premise for the youtube short I posted today. Check it out if you like having fun, and have 51 seconds to spare. Anyway thank you for sharing! SUBBED!
Hi Will, i have a question and maybe you can help me, i would appreciate it very much. What do i do with the edited photos? i am confused about how do i store the raw images vs the edited images. Do i keep the in the same folder or i can do 2 different or what is the best workflow in your opinion? thank you very much!
From last lightroom update, Im not able to set star rating to all the photos at once, does anyone know whether LR has changed anything to set the star rating for the all the selected photos at once?
You can do that if you go to right side and select the box next to Sync, now you can change a lot of stuff at once in all the photos since the sync is toggle on.
Really helpful as a newcomer to Lightroom , only bit I cannot follow is the little arrow next to the star ratings is not visible on my screen enabling me to delete the unwanted images as per the video, any ideas how I can make it visible /active ?
im not 100% sure what you mean. When you have given all your images a rating, say all your selects are 1 star, then you click the 1 star at the bottom right of lightroom, this will remove all unstarred images. the symbol, either >, = or < with lines under them, if you click that you can adjust the parameter of stars being shown. If I answered you completely wrong, let me know lol. I think that's what you mean though.
make sure your film strip is turned on. On a mac, go to window, panels, show film strip, on a PC it should be the same or press f5 (that seems to be the hot key for it).
@@Lucy-dk5cz good news is, when I don’t know something, I mention it in the video and someone lets me know how in comments, thus I learn. As for this video, that was the one method I didn’t know, and now I do because someone commented how to 😄

super good to know! I have never used one personally.
To remove the colour rating, all you have to do is hit the same colour again, and it sets it to no colour
Omg! Amazing! You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar! That's been driving me nuts! 🤣
How do you do this on lightroom? Or is it only available on classic

i havent found a way just yet, and not sure if you can because its using those images for the merged image. but if I figure it out ill let you know
@@willsimpsonphoto Great THANKS
Thank you!! This helps me immensely!
That’s awesome!
Fantastic video! Straight forward
Nice! Thanks for the comment :)
Thanks for this video mate🍻

@@noam5959 what about it?

To the point!

Here’s a video I did on that: ruclips.net/video/6UX1Qb43zt4/видео.htmlsi=qEdS2GJFlE432PHR
Tks!!!
yep :)
Do you use select or reject at all?
not really.
From last lightroom update, Im not able to set star rating to all the photos at once, does anyone know whether LR has changed anything to set the star rating for the all the selected photos at once?
I’m unsure I’ve only ever done one at a time. I’ll check it out.

My rated fotos are not as easily to come by as yours . The stars are no longer at the bottom in Develop mode.
make sure your film strip is turned on. On a mac, go to window, panels, show film strip, on a PC it should be the same or press f5 (that seems to be the hot key for it).
My bar at the bottom doesn’t show any stars
make sure you are using Lightroom Classic not Lightroom CC, if so, make sure the "filmstrip" is set to show. Go to: Window - Panels - Show Filmstrip
Strange video. Trying to explain something that you don’t know how to fully do yourself. Case in point, removing colour selectors
Yeah it’s crazy, I thought I knew everything myself but alas, I do not 😜
@@willsimpsonphoto it’s all good. I wasn’t having a go. There was a reason why I was searching different videos about culling.

You failed on the 10,000 subscribers I'm afraid.
Yep… totally missed it
next time use a proper dictionary, the internet has Websters for americans and Oxford, cambridge etc for the world
Probably a good idea. I’ll get one for my studio.
