Depending on your project you might now also want to do an even finer tuned cull with star-ratings, flags, and colour labels. This makes life easy down the road should you ever need additional photos from your shoot to include in your edits. You'll find yourself with two collections at the end of this process: one containing all of the images from your session, and a second, the 'Selects' collection containing only the photos you'd like to work on. Simply click the Quick Collection catalog, select all of the images, and with one stroke of the keyboard shortcut B, your images will be removed from the Quick Collection - but not from the new selects collection you just made. Now that you've moved the selected photos into their new home, the last step is to clean out your Quick Collection for the next time you'll need it. When naming this new collection, I like to add the word Selects in the name to easily identify them in the future. Select all the photos in the Quick Collection and again create a new collection. Now that you've culled your chosen photos into the Quick Collection, it's time to store these in a more permanent space. This is where you'll find your culled photos, and only your culled photos. Proceed with culling the rest of your shoot, continuing to press B on all of the photos to keep, or at least to review again.Īs you finish culling your shoot, select the Quick Collection catalog. This shortcut will add your selected photo to the Quick Collection catalog. When you come to a photo you'd like to edit, press the keyboard shortcut B. To cull your images, simply select the first image in your collection, and use the Right and Left arrow keys to toggle between your photos. With everything selected go to Collections and click on the + symbol to add these images to a new collection. Under Catalog, click Previous Import and then select all of the images. This works in Adobe Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic and all previous versions of Lightroom. Once you've imported your photos into Adobe Lightroom Classic, first create a collection containing your entire shoot's photos. This keyboard shortcut will give you an instant, full-sized view of how your image started out. Create a Container Collection for Your Session Culling is the process of sorting or making a specific selection from a larger set of photos. I then import those photos into Adobe Lightroom Classic to begin reviewing.
When I finish a shoot, my first step is to upload the RAW photos from my card to a folder on my computer.
