Create smart favorites

First, create favorites filtered by star rating.

Create in Star Collection

As shown in figure 0 -5 ***6 star favorites.

The method is to right-click the favorites set to create smart favorites.

If a 2-star photo collection is established, the filtering condition is 2 stars.

After the favorites are established, you can start to evaluate the stars.

Of course, the logic of our screening photos is not

This is good, 5 stars, this is ok, 3 stars, this is very general, 1 star.

We need to select one star from 0, then two stars from 1, and select them layer by layer.

Screening criteria, standard examples in the tutorial for your reference.

1 star can see the past.

Two stars, think about it.

Three-star works require that the theme cannot be repeated (if there is repetition, you must choose a good one)

Four-star works can be shared and everyone can watch them.

Five-star works can be used to brag and let everyone see them, even without sighing "woc" at first sight.

Of course, everyone should give himself a value in order to continuously improve his aesthetics. I think what the teacher said is very reasonable, that is, no matter how many works you shoot, your five-star works will always be below 100. If you take 100, it may be 100. If you take 100, or 100.

So, don't delete any photos easily. Maybe ten years later, your aesthetic will tell you that the waste film you once thought may be a blockbuster!

Create Smart Favorites by Location

Select a place to add photos, click the keyword on the right, and click the plus sign to add keywords (of course, it is not limited to the place).

You can press and hold ctrl to select multiple photos, or ctrl+A Select All (win)cmd+A Select All (mac) to add consistent keywords.

Create smart favorites

Filters are all photos with keywords.

Then sort out all the photos of Jinan. Isn't it amazing?

In fact, there are more than 455 in Jinan, and I only marked 455.

You can even add multiple conditions to filter, such as filtering photos in a certain period of time. For example, you have been to Tibet three times, and you can use this function to distinguish your three different trips to Tibet.

///

colour code

Lr also provides the function of color coding.

Right-click the picture to which you want to add color code-Set color code-Select color.

As shown in the photo of the cat, red team is set.

Color coding can also be used as a filter condition for smart favorites. As for the purpose, you can specify it yourself.

For example, girls use red, boys use blue and the scenery uses green.

////

Other classification methods-free to use your creativity.

Classification by camera model

Compared with the previous photo at the screening location, there are lost changes, and the searchable text can be changed to your camera model.

Of course, the integration of brand camera photos can also be realized, and the screening conditions are Canon, Olympus, Leica and so on.

Or in order to distinguish your two cameras of the same model, you can also filter the camera serial numbers to distinguish them.

Even the lens type.

File size, aspect ratio, etc. (A photo contest may require a minimum number of pixels)

Lr can do almost any screening method you can think of (of course, you can't "lr, screen me a good-looking photo", it's naughty, naughty and abstract)

You can mark "lr, screen out all my 5-star contract works" in advance before screening, so that your next contract will recognize you more.

How to arrange new photos (emphasis! ! ! )

We need to form a habit.

We went out to take a group of photos, went back to the computer, plugged in the sd card, and opened lr without opening the file manager first.

Then choose to move or copy according to our needs, and import directly from sd card to your lr for sorting.

After importing, add keywords to all selected photos, such as location, whose photo it is, special elements, etc., to facilitate later screening.

Common problems and matters needing attention in photo arrangement

What if my photo storage format is raw+jpg?

Lr will intelligently overlay the same photos under a thumbnail, and then expand the overlay to see two photos.

All operations must be carried out completely in lr.

Do not manipulate files in the file library in the file manager. If you change them, the photos in lr will show an exclamation point.

So import, modify, export and delete operations are all directly operated in lr.

How do lr and ps work together seamlessly?

Lr and ps are both adobe's. Of course, it can be operated seamlessly and smoothly. Right-click the photo-edit in the application-select ps- page jump ps- modify the photo and save it directly -lr-PS and then return to the photo and save it next to lr's original photo.

How's it going? Is it convenient (photos after ps will take up extra disk space)

How do I delete photos from my favorites?

Right-click the photo you want to delete-go to the folder in the gallery-and then delete the photo (whether to remove it or delete it from the disk depends on your needs).

There are too many photos of lr. What should I do if it slows down after using it for a long time?

Click on the top menu bar file optimization directory.

Or set the automatic optimization directory and backup method.

Click Edit-Directory Settings-Set the directory backup frequency that suits you.

Create a preview in advance to shorten the preview loading time.

Some students may show "loading" when editing photos, so how to shorten this time?

Select the photos to preload-click on the top menu bar gallery-build preview-build 1: 1 preview.

Building a preview may be slow (related to computer performance), and its principle is to generate thumbnails of raw files and store them on disk, which will occupy disk memory.

To clear this part of memory, you can directly select photos, gallery-preview-abandon preview, or set the time to automatically abandon preview (in Edit-Directory Settings).

As shown in Figure lr, the preview before 30 days will be automatically abandoned by default, and can be adjusted according to your own needs.

Create your own second directory.

You still have to make sure that the directory folder and the file library folder are together.

Usage: put other people's photos on your computer, and don't mix them together, or set up a temporary directory to facilitate travel.

Merge Directories Click File-Import from another directory, and then all settings will be merged (photo location will also be transferred, star information, tag keywords, etc. ).

Temporary photo filtering (very, very useful)

Click Gallery-Properties-Select Filter Criteria.

Equivalent to temporary love. You can filter out the photos in a folder according to the stars and color them ~

As shown in the figure, filter out all photos with more than 2 stars in the folder 10-00-2.

Finally, the export of photos!

Right-click the photo you want to export-export-export to the folder you specify, so that you can easily find and share it.

Create different export rules to improve efficiency.

There are three almost must be created, according to the following steps.

Right-click the picture-export-settings as shown below, and then click Add and Rename in the lower left corner.

So what are these three for?

5M is to limit the maximum exported photos of social sharing to 5M.

You may have colored the photo before modification, but you need to use this option if you want to export the photo before modification.

The original size is the best quality file for exporting preview pictures.

The earlier you study, the better, the more efficient you are, and the less disk space you waste.

Besides following the usual practice, shouldn't we also share or collect such dry goods?

I am Eirc, and I will write more photographic notes in the future. Perhaps, you just learn photography now and don't have a clear direction and thinking, so don't worry too much. Consult my historical articles and record my dribs and drabs from 0 ~
