This isn't about conserving space, it's about narrowing down a huge collection
of images to a small hand-full that I want to bother post-processing and maybe
preparing for publication or otherwise.

This would effectively duplicate my current workflow, but it missed out an
essential part of my proposed workflow. I want to be able to go over the entire
image collection multiple times, each time incrementing or decrementing the
score for an image. The result of this process should be that very good pictures
get high scores, very poor pictures get low scores, and the entire range between
these are pictures where I may have incremented or decremented the photo
differently the few times I had the chance to.

The resulting list of photographs, ordered by score, presents an evidence based
sorting of my subjective opinion of them, which may have been formed by this
process over a number of days or hours.

If there was some score rating of 0-5 (like Rhythmbox) it would only be useful
in this setup if there was an increment and decrement key, as well as a way of
specifying the exact numbers of stars. Just to reiterate, my proposed workflow
works by layering a collection of binary decisions; i.e. good or bad.

Thanks,
