They are permanent (Ozymandias notwithstanding). Having lots of them is not a problem for Lightroom, although it could become a problem for you. You can also have smart collections, which are collections based on criteria that you specify, for example all 4-star photos with 'bollocks' in the metadata. These will change as you amend the metadata, add more photos that fit the criteria, etc. B -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
