When you regularly have 400 and up frames from a shoot, you learn how to deal with them. :)
Lightroom's stars and Survey mode help a great deal. I do an initial pass over all the shots quickly removing the technical duds. Then another pass looking for weak shots and I promote the stronger ones with a star. If I have trouble choosing between several almost identical ones I select the bunch (no more than 8 at a time usually) and use survey mode (N) to step through them. It's generally obvious which are the best of those. This cuts them at least in half most of the time. Now a pass to find the best ones of those. After that pass I should be down to somewhere between 10% to 25% of the shoot. Each pass gets appreciably harder to make choices because now we're splitting hairs, but there are also fewer shots to compare. In a complex studio shoot with several main themes I have a pre-pre-pass to move the related shots into separate folders so I can do the passes on just those groups of related shots. I don't want to be comparing completely unrelated images -- much too hard. On Sun, Mar 19, 2017 at 1:40 AM, Alan C <[email protected]> wrote: > A fine shot considering the conditions.
