P: Batch Rating, Flagging and Keywords

On the desktop version of Lightroom CC I (and many other photographers I know) use batch rating and flagging to select a large amount of keepers or reject photos I might later want to delete. This works by selecting multiple images and than pressing the corresponding number (0-5) to star, p to pick, x to reject and u to unflag. As the promise of the iPad was to be a professional working device it would immensely speed up my workflow. I don't think this would require any change in the UI (because most of us use Lightroom with a keyboard), although adding a star bar and flags would make it easy for the touch users as well.

Batch keywording and metadata editing would help with the organization of the photos and one could easily correct a time delay if the camera wasn't set up properly. This would definitely need new buttons in the UI, but I think it's worth it in the long run.

Hey !

 

Would be nice to be able to select several pictures on "GrillView" and set a rate-star on these at once. No need to go through one by one to set a star, but simply select in the Grill the pictures we want and set a 1 to 5 star-rating...

 

Thanks guys !

nützlich wäre die Möglichkeit mehrere ausgewählte Fotos zu bewerten (Sterne/Abgelehnt/Markiert/Farben).

Setting metadata over a range of photos is tedious in Ligthroom CC. Please add feature to set metadata to aall photos in a selection. For example, setting the Location data, would apply to all photos seelcted photos. Additionally, it would be helpful to copy metadata from one photo to another or to a selection of photos.

Need ability to do a "bulk tagging" of photos in an album using iPad or iPhone. Not carrying my PC with me all the time - especially when travelling.

The option to only delete or export with bulk select in Lightroom is extraordinarily limiting - for me it renders the "new" version basically useless.  Is this already roadmapped?

On the iPad or iPhone version, it would be great to be able to BULK tag a whole series of selected photos. This feature is available on the desktop version but not on the IOS version. Thanks

This screen shows the problem, thanks. You can bulk edit title etc., but not the keyword.

Again I was in a situation where I would have liked to just make a selection and tell the app to mark all selected  as reject, so time consuming to do it one by one.
