Okay, your photos are in Lightroom, and they're backed up to a separate hard
drive, so now it's time to make a collection of the keepers 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 collec-
tion 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).
Work f low Step Three:
Finding Your Picks &
Making a Collection
Step One:
In the Library module, go to the Collec-
tions 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
set “Amanda Studio Shoot,” 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 (but we're
not actually going to use this set right
this minute—we just set it up to use a
step or two down the road).
Step Two:
Now, I go through the process of find-
ing just the Picks and the Rejects from
the shoot. Press G to see your images in
Grid view, then scroll up to the very top
and double-click on the first photo (so
it zooms in to Loupe view). Now use the
Left/Right Arrow keys on your keyboard
to view each image from the shoot. When
you see a really good shot, press the letter
P on your keyboard to flag it as a Pick, and
when you see a Reject (shots that are out
of focus, badly composed, messed up, etc.),
press the letter X (to flag it as a Reject to
be deleted). As you move through these
images, remember: just Picks and Rejects—
no star ratings, etc. If you make a mistake,
press U to unflag it. For more on Picks
and Rejects see page 56 in Chapter 2.
