the minus (-) and equals (=) keys to decrease or increase the selected image's rating. Pressing 0

rejected
rating, which we discuss shortly.

Aperture can display an image's rating as a badge in both Browser
and Viewer.
In the Library Albums group within the Library Inspector, there's a 5-Star Smart
Album that shows you all of the five-star images in your library. This is a great way to
quickly display your best images.
Note
The control bar, as shown in Figure 4.2, also provides buttons to reject
an image, lower its rating, raise its rating, or to mark it as a five-star select.

Working with rejected images
How often have you finished a shoot, started looking through your images, and become unhappy
with what you shot, suddenly feeling the urge to just throw away everything? Fortunately, by
marking images as
rejected
rather than just deleting them, Aperture gives you a second chance to
recover it so that if you change your mind, it's easy to restore your image.
