Step Five:
Here's why I don't recommend using the
entire star rating system: What are you
going to do with your 2-star images?
They're not bad enough to delete, so we
keep 'em, right? What about your 3-star
ones? The client won't see these either,
but we keep 'em. What about your 4-star
photos (the ones that weren't quite good
enough to be five stars)? We keep them,
too. See where I'm going? Why waste
your valuable time deciding if a photo
is a 2- or a 3- or a 4-star, if all you're go-
ing to do is keep 'em anyway? The only
shots we really care about are the ones
we want off our computer (they're mess-
ed up and just wasting disk space) and
our best shots from that shoot. So, once
you've gone through and ranked them,
let's get rid of the dogs. Click-and-hold
on the Filter Items by Rating icon at the
right end of the Toolbar (it looks like
a funnel) and choose
Show Rejected
Items Only
(as shown here) to see just
the Rejects.
Step Six:
Now, Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) on
all the Rejects, then press the Spacebar
to open them in Full Screen Preview
mode, and press
Command-Delete
(PC: Ctrl-Delete)
on each one to move
them to your Trash (PC: Recycle Bin).
Next, go under the Filter Items by Rat-
ing icon's pop-up menu again, but this
time choose
Show 5 Stars
(as shown
here) to filter things down so just your
keepers—your 5-star images—are
visible in Mini Bridge.
