Introduction

The key to good photo asset management is to maintain awell-organized photo catalog. This can prove to be a daunt-ing task when you are managing thousands of photos at atime. Thankfully, Lightroom includes several organizationalfeatures that can help you manage large photo librarieswith ease.

In this chapter, you learn how to rotate and flip photosso that they appear the way you like in the Library Contentarea. You’ll also learn how to apply searchable attributes,such as zero-to-five-star ratings, pick or reject flags, andcustom color labels.

This chapter also explains how to control the sort orderfor the thumbnails in the Content area and Filmstrip. Youwill learn the various ways you can sort images, as well ashow to change their sort direction from ascending todescending and vice versa.

Lastly, you will learn how to conserve room in theContent area by stacking related photos into groups, andhow to conserve room in the catalog by removing unus-able photos.

If the photos you import are taken using a digital camera thatembeds camera orientation metadata (portrait or landscape), thenLightroom automatically rotates the image thumbnails in the LibraryContent area accordingly. If not, then you can click the Rotate but-tons or apply the Rotate Left (CCW) or Rotate Right (CW) commands.

Rotating Images

Rotate images clockwise or counterclockwise

In Grid View of the Librarymodule, select any imagethumbnail (or multiple imagethumbnails) that you’d like torotate.

TIMESAVER Shift+click toselect multiple adjacent photos;Cmd+click (Mac) or Ctrl+click(Win) to select multiple non-adjacent photos.

Cick the Rotate buttons in theLibrary Toolbar or choose Photo >Rotate Left (CCW) or Rotate Right(CW).

IMPORTANT Choose Rotatefrom the Toolbar flyout menu todisplay the rotate buttons in theLibrary toolbar.

The selected thumbnail(s) appearrotated in the Content area andFilmstrip.

Did You Know?You can also apply the Rotate com-mands by selecting either one from thecontextual menu. Right+click orControl+click (Mac) on the selectedthumbnail(s) in the Content Grid orFilmstrip, and choose Rotate Left (CCW)or Rotate Right (CW) from the contex-tual menu.

In addition to rotating images in the Library, you can also flip them inthe opposite horizontal or vertical direction from the way they wereoriginally shot. Doing so can sometimes improve an image’s compo-sition, as long as it’s not too obvious that the photo has been flipped.

Flipping Images

Flip images to face the opposite direction

Select any image thumbnail (ormultiple image thumbnails) fromthe Grid or Filmstrip.


Choose Photo > Flip Horizontal orFlip Vertical.

The selected photo(s) appearflipped in the Content area andFilmstrip.

One excellent way to organize your catalog images is to categorizethem by rating. Lightroom enables you to apply ratings from zero tofive stars. After you apply them, you can then use the Filter bar orFilmstrip filter controls to search for specific catalog images basedon their ratings. Ratings are stored in an image’s metadata and areaccessible in other applications, such as Adobe Bridge.

Rating Images

Apply 0-5 star ratings to your catalog images


TIMESAVER Shift+click toselect multiple adjacent photos;Cmd+click (Mac) or Ctrl+click(Win) to select multiple non-adjacent photos.To apply a rating to the selectedphoto(s), choose Photo > SetRating and then select a star ratingfrom the flyout submenu. You canalso right+click (Win) orControl+click (Mac) and chooseone from the contextual menu. Ifyou’ve chosen to display them, youcan also apply a rating by clickingone of the star icons in the Toolbar.

TIMESAVER Press thekeyboard numbers 0 through 5 toassign a specific numbered ratingquickly.

TIMESAVER Press the rightbracket key to increase the rating;press the left bracket key todecrease it.If the Show Grid Extras view optionis enabled, Lightroom displays therating in the grid cell.

Did You Know?You can also apply a rating to animage by clicking in its grid cell. Whenthe Show Grid Extras view option isenabled, and clickable options aremade visible, you can click on the starratings in the grid cell to apply them.When using this method, it is not nec-essary to select a cell prior to applyingthe rating.

2

Another way to label your best images as top picks from a photo-shoot is to mark them as flagged. When you flag an image, and theShow Grid Extras view option is enabled, a flag icon is displayed inthe upper-left corner of the grid cell. You can then apply a filteredsearch for all flagged images and display just those photos in theContent area.

Flagging Images

Mark catalog images as flagged



To flag or unflag the selectedphoto(s), choose Photo > Set Flagand then select Flagged orUnflagged from the flyoutsubmenu. You can also right+click(Win) or Control+click (Mac) andselect either option from thecontextual menu. If you’ve chosento display it, you can also flag orunflag an image by clicking theflag icon in the Toolbar.

TIMESAVER Press P to markan image as Flagged. Press U tomark an image as Unflagged.

TIMESAVER Press the ` (leftapostrophe) key to toggle flagstatus.

TIMESAVER Press Cmd+Uparrow (Mac) or Ctrl+Up arrow(Win) to increase flag status. PressCmd+Down arrow (Mac) orCtrl+Down arrow (Win) todecrease flag status.

If the Show Grid Extras view optionis enabled, Lightroom displays theflag in the respective grid cells.

In addition to marking your top image picks as flagged, you can alsomark all of your out of focus or generally unusable photos as rejects.You should consider adopting this method as an alternative to delet-ing those images that you consider unusable. You never know whena photo that might not be suitable for one project could wind upbeing useful for another.

Rejecting Images

Mark catalog photos as rejected



To reject the selected photo(s),choose Photo > Set Flag and thenselect Rejected from the flyoutsubmenu. You can also right+click(Win) or Control+click (Mac) andselect it from the contextual menu.If you’ve chosen to display it, youcan also reject an image byclicking the reject icon in theToolbar.

TIMESAVER Press X to markan image as Rejected.

TIMESAVER Press Cmd+Uparrow (Mac) or Ctrl+Up arrow(Win) to increase flag status. PressCmd+Down arrow (Mac) orCtrl+Down arrow (Win) todecrease flag status.

With color labels, you have the freedom to associate whatever inter-pretations you like to each color. For example, you may assign a redcolor label to mean “reject,” or a green label to mean “good toprint.” These interpretations can be saved in a Color Label Set. Notethat all applied color labels are specific to the color label set that iscurrently chosen. If you’re using Lightroom with Bridge, be sure toassign the same interpretations to the colors in both applications.Doing so ensures that there will be no color label metadata conflicts.

Applying Color Labels

Separate images into groupingswith color labels

Choose Color Label Set from theMetadata menu and select oneof the three default sets: BridgeDefault, Lightroom Default, orReview Status.



To apply a color label to theselected photo(s), choose Photo >Set Color Label and then select acolor from the flyout submenu. Youcan also right+click (Win) orControl+click (Mac) and select onefrom the contextual menu. If you’vechosen to display them, you canalso apply a color label to animage by clicking the color icons inthe Toolbar.

TIMESAVER Press thekeyboard numbers 6 through 9 toassign a color label quickly: red (6),yellow (7), green (8), and blue (9).There is no keyboard shortcut forpurple.

Lightroom enables you to control how the image thumbnails aresorted in the Library Content area and the Filmstrip. The most com-mon way to sort is by Capture Time, but you can also sort by AddedOrder, or Edit Time, or by applied attributes such as Rating, Pick(flag), and Label Color or Label Text. You can change the way thethumbnails are sorted at any time.

Sorting Images

Choose how to sort images inthe Content area and Filmstrip

Under the View menu, choose asort option from the Sortsubmenu. Or if you’ve chosen todisplay the Sort tools in theToolbar, you can choose an optionfrom the Sort drop-down list.

The thumbnails are sorted accordingly.

After you choose how you would like to sort the thumbnails in theContent area and Filmstrip, you can also choose whether to displaythem in ascending or descending order. The most common way tosort images is by Capture Time in descending order, so that yourmost recent images are positioned at the top of the thumbnail grid.

Changing SortDirection

Toggle sort direction

Under the View menu, chooseascending or descending fromthe Sort submenu. Or if you’vechosen to display the Sort tools inthe Toolbar, you can click the SortDirection icon.

The image thumbnails aredisplayed accordingly in theContent area and Filmstrip.

Lightroom’s Stacking feature enables you to group related photosinto a condensed stack in the Library Grid. By grouping images intostacks, you can save room in the Content area and ultimately spenda lot less time scrolling through thumbnails to find a specific imageyou’d like to work with. Note that grouping images into stacks willonly affect the way the thumbnails are displayed in the Grid. It doesnot change the location of the files on your system.

Grouping Photosinto Stacks

Group related photos into avirtual stack

Not every photo is perfect. In fact, some may even be less than per-fect. To avoid cluttering up your catalog with unusable images, it ispossible to remove them from the database. However, you shouldconsider keeping copies of these photos on your computer’s harddisk, just in case you find another use for them down the road.

Removing Photos

Delete an image from thecatalog, but not the hard disk

From the Grid or Filmstrip, selectthe image thumbnail (or multipleimage thumbnails) for thephoto(s) you would like toremove from the catalog.

Although it’s always a good idea to keep copies of all your images(both good and bad) stored somewhere, you can still delete themfrom both the catalog and hard disk at the same time. However, justas a safeguard, Lightroom places these photos in your system’sTrash (Mac) or Recycle Bin (Win) without emptying it.


Deleting Photos

Delete an image from thecatalog and the hard disk

From the Grid or Filmstrip, selectthe image thumbnail (or multipleimage thumbnails) for thephoto(s) you would like toremove from the catalog.


Choose Photo > Delete Photo, orpress the Delete key. You can alsoright+click (Win) or Control+click(Mac) the thumbnail and selectDelete Photo from the contextualmenu.

In the warning dialog box thatappears, click Delete from Disk.

Lightroom removes the image(s)from the catalog and places it inthe system’s Trash (Mac) orRecycle Bin (Win). Note that theimage is not officially deleted fromthe hard disk until you manuallyempty the Trash/Recycle Bin.
