Adobe Lightroom: Organizing results with Batch Actions in Lightroom
Adobe LightroomDemo summary
Demonstration of applying flags, star ratings, and color labels to AI-selected images using Lightroom's Batch Actions menu.
Step-by-step
- Navigate to the Organize Results section under Stacking.
- Click on Batch Actions.
- Select the Selected category to define actions for keeper images.
- Choose a flag status, such as the white flag for accepted images.
- Apply a star rating or color label to the selected group.
- Select the Rejected category and apply the X flag.
- Click OK to apply the batch operations to the photos.
Options
- Apply star ratings (e.g., 3-star or 5-star)
- Apply color labels (e.g., Green)
- Add images to a specific collection
- Leave rejected images without extra labels
Watch out for
- Lightroom's batch options are less robust than Aftershoot; it only distinguishes between 'selected' and 'rejected' without identifying duplicates or standouts.
Tips
- Use a 3-star rating for standard client deliveries and reserve 5 stars for the 'best of the best'.
- Apply flags, ratings, or colors to ensure you can easily filter and export the desired images later.
