2 Organizing Your Photos into Lightroom Collections

Lesson overview

This lesson covers how to sort through your images to separate the ones that are keepers (that you will print, share, or put in your portfolio) and ones you can discard or review later. You’ll start by going through a specific workflow for culling images using flags in Adobe Photoshp Lightroom, and walk through the process of sorting those images into discrete collections. From there, you’ll learn how to set up a hierarchical structure using collection sets.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to:

  • Employ color labels in your image.

  • Use a star system to rank your images.

  • Filter images based on flags, colors, or other metadata.

  • Set up smart collections for specialized tasks.
