Applying filters to stack images

[Rémi26259030s4kx]

Hi Everyone,

I am sorting a large amount of pictures (about 10k) in order to end up with only my very best so about 50 pictures. I shot many HDR and therefore stacked many to simplify my sorting.  Here is my sorting process:

1- Classify each pictures in folders by locations

2- Stacking the HDR in a group without creating the HDR yet

3- Apply a Red label to my favorites in each folder

4- Then applying a Keyword so that my favorites are placed in a Smart Collection

5- In the Smart collection, applying a Yellow label on my favorites to finally select a few pictures

ISSUE:

After stacking the HDR, when I apply any kind of filters whether it's a label or a keyword, this filter only applies to the first picture of the stack while I wish it applies to the group.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR:

Is there a possibility to apply any kind of filters to a stack without having to open it and select all pictures?

If not, I believe this is a glitch in Adobe sorting abilities, as I assume that one function of a stack is to ease the overall sorting.

Thanks a lot for your help.

and and my process is as follow

You cannot apply anything to members of a collapsed stack, but there is a one-click solution. Shift-click on the stack number icon. This will expand the stack and select all the stack members.

Hi, thanks for your reply. That's what I thought.

I forgot to mention that I knew that one, but that's still very unpractical for a large amount of pictures to sort.

Thanks anyways.

One way to think of it is "stacking =  hiding".

The plugin Syncomatic may be helpful if you do a lot of this kind of thing. It can copy info from the top to other members of the stack.

Amazing, that might actually be what I need!

Thanks a lot
