Okay, your photos are in Lightroom, they're backed up to a separate hard drive
(or CD/DVD), so now it's time to make a collection of the keepers f from the shoot,
and get rid of the shots that are out-of-focus, the flash didn't fire for, or are just
generally messed up (the Rejects). We're going to make our lives easy by creating
a collection set right off the bat, and then we'll make other collections inside
that set for our Picks and Selects (the final images we'll show to the client).
Step One:
In the Library module, go to the Collections
panel (in the left side Panels area), click on
the + (plus sign) button on the right side
of the panel header, and choose
Create
Collection Set
from the pop-up menu.
When the Create Collection Set dialog
appears, name your new collection “Beauty
Headshot,” and then click the Create button.
We've now got a set where we can save our
Picks and our final images to show to the
client. My workflow is just a little bit differ-
ent when I shoot tethered like this, because
I can't just click on Previous Import (at the
top of the Catalog panel) and see all the
photos I just imported, like I do when I'm
importing from a memory card. So, I have
a quick extra step, which sends me to the
folder where I saved these shots, but don't
worry, we're only there for quick minute.
Step Two:
Go to the Folders panel (in the left side
Panels area), and click on the folder
of photos from the studio shoot. Press
Command-A (PC: Ctrl-A)
to select all
these photos you took during the shoot,
then press
Command-N (PC: Ctrl-N)
to
make a collection of these shots. When
the Create Collection dialog appears,
name your collection “Full Shoot,” then
choose Beauty Headshot from the Set
pop-up menu (that way, this is saved
under the main Beauty Headshot collec-
tion set, and we can keep all our beauty
headshots within one big collection. This
will make more sense in just a minute).
