Keeping only your picks with Rei ne Photos
If you use Reject Flags, Rei ne Photos helps facilitate automated mass-deletion
of photos from your Library. When you run Rei ne Photos, images that had
Pick Flags will be set to Unl agged, and previously Unl agged photos will get
a Rejected l ag. You can then use Photo ➔ Delete Rejected Photos to quickly
remove all the rejects from the current source. Use Library ➔ Rei ne Photos to
run the Rei ne Image command.

Library i lters
h is is one of the most powerful and important features for organizing and
sorting your photos in Lightroom: applying i lters determines which photos will
be shown in the preview area and Filmstrip. Filters can also be used to search
your catalog for specii c images.

Filters are coni gured using the Filter Bar at the top of the main preview area (see
Figure 3-62) and from the top, right section of the Filmstrip (see Figure 3-63).

If the Filter Bar is not showing, use the shortcut or the option under the
View menu.
