Rated pictures-Can't view in filmstrip

is there a way to see which pictures are rated or selected, while in filmstrip mode? It's frustrating not to see which I have already selected to edit. Even when I am in a grid view, I don't see the icons, so I cannot tell without clicking on a picture, as to if I've selected it. There must be a way, this is painful!! Help!

Correct answer Neox99

Regardless of view the ratings are always shown very bottom center of window

Just read the thread and I cant see why its solved, he's asking about the new LR, not LRC, I have just gone back to LRC because of this very problem

I had this same issue and it drove me crazy for a couple days.  Click and drag above the film strip to enlarge it until you see the star rating and other develop tools 🙂

Did you read the thread? It is about Lightroom, not Lightroom CC.

Why is this marked as solved? The correct answer is actually not what author of the question asked about.

Try dragging the filmstrip up to or down to enlarge the images.  This seems to show the stars.  I had the same issue

There is no handle to drag the film strip in Lightroom. It appears to be fixed height.

Btw I find it ridiculous not to fix this simple issue for so long.

Try to grab above the black bar at the bottom of the screen, and drag it up.  Just under the import/export buttons.  I'm on the month to month subscription, and its the latest version of Lightroom.  Did you purchase your program?

This does not help much as I still have to select individual pictures to understand which one has stars and how many of them.

Hi jfoucher574,

Which version of Lightroom are you using? Lightroom Classic CC or Lightroom CC?

Lightroom CC displays the star ratings in the image thumbnails itself while Lightroom Classic CC shows the ratings in the filmstrip and the loupe view both within the image thumbnail.

Refer How to flag, label, and rate photos in Lightroom Classic CC and Learn how to organize your photos in Lightroom CC.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Akash

I am using Lightroom CC 2.3, I can only see ratings in square grid view:

But not in filmstrip of detail view:

Selected picture has five stars, but I only can see that in lower portion, not on the thumbnails.

This is extremely frustrating not to see ratings in the thumbs.
