When I have a lot of pictures I do everything. I go through and refect, then rate them 1, then from those 2, then from those 3, etc, until I have 30-40 images that are the BEST. Events with 1000+ photos typically can have 5 stars. Rating them helps me really focus on which is absolutely the best photos to put in my portfolio, show on the blog, show the client initially. Also, has helped my photography a TON to be so critical. I still highly recommend rating images, because it you will select the better images that way.

It saves soooo much time. I don't even bother rejecting the ones I dont like I just skip them all together. I flag all the ones I want to edit, then I'll set the view to flagged only and edit those. If I find I dont like some after all I just unflag them and they're gone! This is how I always do my picking. It saves soooo much time.

What do you do with them? I've been using the 1 star and then sorting by stars, but I like this idea too! Do you then get rid of the “rejects”? What do you do with them?

Since I've switched to Mac, I've been having a lot of trouble picking/rejecting in Bridge. I'll try it in LightRoom tomorrow. Some tasks should take time, picking/rejecting should not. Thanks Jodi.
