Efficient first-pass sorting with full-screen view to mark images for deletion

Explorer ,
Apr 05, 2025 Apr 05, 2025

I'd like to do a first-pass sort to delete the obvious fails--and some failed images are not obvious until you get to a full-screen view.  

 

Can I mark images in any way with a quick slideshow so I can sort & delete the fails at that moment, or after the slideshow?  This is not about removing them from the slideshow, but deleting the files entirely from the folder being used for the slideshow.

 

Review mode as-is does not work for me because of the animation/movement that triggers motion sickness.  Is there a way to kill the silly animation effects and just show the items one by one full-screen and delete from there? 

 

Or is there a better tool/view/option for doing this in Bridge?

 

I've been previewing in Camera Raw, where clicking delete will trash images after I finish running through the previewed group, as long as I open one of the keepers in Photoshop.  But that doesn't give a true full-screen view.  

 

MacOS 15.3.2 Sequoia, Bridge 2025 15.0.0.397

Hi, @debunix, what I do to do that is give the images a rating or a label (say, 1 star or a red label). Then after I'm done, I search for all 1 star images, verify I do not want any of them, and then delete them. Would that work?

 

If you currently have your ratings and labels set up to require a number and the Command/Control key, here's how to switch that to just the number:

The default setting for ratings and labels in Bridge is Command-(number). If you just want to use the number, here's how. I also supply an extra setting to remove labels.

Can I give them a rating within a slideshow?

Aha....there is a full-screen preview mode from which I can rate the images and delete as you suggest.  Thank you!
