Now that you've got all of your images imported into your catalog, and you've had a bit of a look at them, you've had a bit of a search around and keyword of some of them, it's time to start looking at them a little bit more carefully and in some more detail to see what kind of batches or series of images like these ones here have the cat or the looking to group those and peel them down to select just one or two. Same with a sequence here of the guideline in his trolley. There's no way I want to keep all of those images. So it's gonna be a matter of just choosing carefully and this is what we have started to do here. There's some good tools within Lightroom that will help you make this decision making process less painful. So just scroll around, have a look again, just want to announce Juda remain positive look for the good images don't concentrate on the ones that you're not liking.

They will always be plenty of eyes, especially in a sequence like this. Like I said before, we've got some action happening. And it's unpredictable to a certain extent. And there's always going to be some that are better than others. So focus on the better ones look for the good stuff, look for the keepers, the ones that you want to, to continue working on and to continue to post prices so that more such as scrolling through I've got quite a nice selection of images. So the last one of the young lady there with a food store and some close up work, a good variety.

I often encourage people when we're shooting To shoot as though you're creating a series of photographs to illustrate a magazine story, and that says however, I encourage you to eat it as well, to look for a series of photographs that will clearly illustrate the experience that you've had at the markets or wherever it is that you've been chosen. scroll back up to the top. And now just have a look at some of the different functions and features to help you choose which images that you want to keep and which ones you want to discard or the slides ludas be hiding them. So you can just tap the spacebar or the E key to bring it into loop view or you can double click an image That will give us the same response. To bring it out larger, you can use the zip key or the if you're an American.

And that will zoom into the image you can see it's not quite sharp. The other way to zoom in image and loop view is to just click on it, and it will actually zoom to the area on the image where your mouse is where you have clicked. Which is a little easier than using the keyboard shortcut. Here we're not seeing any of the info bars on the top or bottom or left or right. So you can just tap if six to bring the bottom one up, and then click the little diagram there to bring you back into the grid view. Alternatively, you can use the G key to bring you back to the grid view daiki to bring you into the develop module.

Now this is an area where I do use the information at the sides because you can see on the right hand side there is all of the tools that we need to develop this image to start to balance them. So just coming back into loop view, and zooming it can just click to zoom or use the Z key and the Z key. You can use the B key to add an image to a quick collection or once it's clear if you want to remove that just tap the B key again. And you can see if you had a seven to bring out the left hand side that there is the menu the For the collections and other collections, we'll go into these things in more detail later. One of the tools that I use a lot in Lightroom is the filters, the selection filters. This is a way that you can flag your images.

And there is a series of three flags that you can use the regular one the SR one as just as unflagged. You can flag them with one flag, or you can flag them with a black flag. Or use the Black Flag the speaky as the X key to flag images that I will discard that you can tune each of these flags on or off. So I have a custom filter set up to leave the unflagged in the flag photos turned on and the Black Flag turned off which means when I hit the X key that's going to hide those images from view. See and you're not going to see see any of the images that have had a black flag applied to them, because often the icon off at the top here. So effectively just hide them from view and save some being distracting to you when you're editing your images.

So you can just take out the ones that you don't want to see that you don't want to work on. This is the beginning of the callin prices for me, I'll go through and hide all of the images that are obviously not going to be of use to make that I don't want to say hiding them like this allows you to get a clearer idea very quickly of your good images, the ones that you do want to focus on as you begin to go through and start hiding the images that you don't want to keep your little theme be able to see the stronger images, the better images that you've made and get a good idea of the good work that you've done.
