I don’t try to sort my shots. I just open Bridge, choose the folder of shots I 
just uploaded and start looking at them. I work from the top down and render 
all the shots I like. If there are similar shots I may compare them, but I keep 
my Bridge images large enough to be able to judge shots without opening them 
for the most part.  I generally don’t delete any shots, unless they're obvious 
errors like shots of my shoes or the ground. :-).

One way to do it is to scan through a batch & mark all the minimally
acceptable images with one star.

Then change the view to show only the one star images & sort through
them again to actually look for the better images. Mark 'em two stars &
repeat going through the two star images to find the three star images ...

I no longer actually delete images. Electrons are cheap nowadays.

Sometimes the duds teach more than the good images do.

Re: PESO ISO 51,200

2017-03-19 Thread Bruce Walker
When you regularly have 400 and up frames from a shoot, you learn how
to deal with them. :)

Lightroom's stars and Survey mode help a great deal. I do an initial
pass over all the shots quickly removing the technical duds.

Then another pass looking for weak shots and I promote the stronger
ones with a star. If I have trouble choosing between several almost
identical ones I select the bunch (no more than 8 at a time usually)
and use survey mode (N) to step through them. It's generally obvious
which are the best of those. This cuts them at least in half most of
the time.

Now a pass to find the best ones of those. After that pass I should be
down to somewhere between 10% to 25% of the shoot. Each pass gets
appreciably harder to make choices because now we're splitting hairs,
but there are also fewer shots to compare.

In a complex studio shoot with several main themes I have a
pre-pre-pass to move the related shots into separate folders so I can
do the passes on just those groups of related shots. I don't want to
be comparing completely unrelated images -- much too hard.

Re: PESO ISO 51,200

One thing I don't like about smart previews is that if you go to 100%
magnification it loads the raw and renders it all over again. That
takes some time. I actually don't use them very often because of that.
Just working with the raw directly seems a little faster in develop
mode though if work only with the smart preview it is definitely
faster though you don't get a 100% view. It usually has enough
resolution to determine sharpness on faces usually though.

Re: PESO ISO 51,200

2017-03-19 Thread Zos Xavius
If I have a huge set of photos I just import them and build 1:1
renders at import. That way I can flip through them and cull pretty
quickly. Thing is though that the previews are only really used in the
library in lightroom. As soon as you go to develop mode it rerenders
the raw. Another thing is that if you use any global presets, its best
to apply them before you render because changing settings makes the
render null and void if that makes sense. Also smart previews can be
really fast to process and adjust. If you want to force lightroom to
only use smart previews, just generate them and rename the directory
that all of your raw files are in. Since lightroom no longer sees them
it just works with the smart previews. Putting your library and image
cache on an SSD is pretty much a must if you want something
approaching decent performance. It depends on how large your catalog
is too. I have a 200k image catalog currently which can slow things
down. Sometimes creating a new catalog and working on a big shoot is
easier and then just importing that catalog into your main one.
