P: Cull images during import

  • June 2, 2011

I wish, I could rate my picture using my evaluation-stars and -colors directly during the import process and adding specific meta-tags maybe just to one photo (and not the entire import).For instance: I am shooting all day for 5 different projects - they all mix on one SD-card. Coming back, I have to go thru the import-process 5 times, looking thru all the pictures over and over again to sort out the pictures for these five projects.Why can ́t I do this straightaway during import? Am I over looking something already there in LR?I hope, you can understand my wish.

    This is a most-needed feature. LR import feels like a lowest gear in a vehicle that doesn't have enough torque in any gear.

    I would like to add to this:

    I want Photoshop Lightroom to find the areas of the photo that are in focus and mark them when nothing is in focus.

    Photoshop already does this automatically for focus stacking.

    I want it applied in Lightroom to cull photos.

    Please push this idea. Adobe already knows how to do it.

    Amen! I add my pleas to this as well! PLEASE add this feature. This would be an amazing addition to Lightroom! Don't push us to competing products, fix this and keep us Lightroom Users!

    I've started using FastPictureViewer (~$50) to cull. You can use the X to mark delete and Ctrl-X to actually delete. That gets me started before I go into LR. A culling module in LR would be better though.

    The Cull Module is BRILLIANT!   PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add this.  Would be an excellent way to speed up my Lightroom Workflow.  I've been taking a look more at Luminar Photo (competitor to Lightroom) as well as Photo Mechanic for one reason only--culling takes too long in Lightroom.  It's just unreasonably slow.

    Agree that Jeff's idea is different than Joachim's.
    Also a big fan of Jeff's idea!

    Jeff, count me as ME TOO on your suggestion. I use Fast Picture Viewer because using Lightroom to cull is self-torture. I would love to have a cull module.

    Frankly though, I am worried about the future of LR, based on all the problem posts I see on this site.
