Using Star Ratings

A Star rating allows you to rank your photos with 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 Stars. This is a great way to rank your photos and separate your best photos from those that should be deleted. Here’s an example of how you might use Star Ratings:

• 5-Star photos are the best — worth printing and sharing in your portfolio
• 4-Star photos are good — perfect to share on social media
• 3-Star photos are average — keep and archive but don’t share
• 2-Star photos are low-quality — keep for sentimental reasons
• 1-Star photos are extremely low-quality with no sentimental value — can be deleted

Star Ratings can be added to images using the Rating Bar, Keyboard Shortcuts, or Gestures using a touchscreen, trackpad or mouse.

Adding Star Ratings using the Rating Bar

1. Select a photo or series of photos.

*TIP: Learn how to select multiple images from a computer, or touchscreen device.

2. Click on the tag icon in the right sidebar to access the Rating Bar.

3. Add (or remove) a rating by clicking an icon for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 Stars.

Adding Star Ratings using Keyboard Shortcuts

1. Select a photo or series of photos.
2. Add or remove Star Ratings to photos by typing 1 = one star, 2 = two stars, 3 = three stars, 4 = four stars, or 5 = five stars.

Adding Star Ratings using a Touchscreen, Trackpad, or Mouse

Gestures are a quick and easy way to add star ratings to images. Gestures are enabled by default, however, if you’d prefer to disable them, visit Settings in the More menu, select General, and toggle the switch next to Enable Single Image Review Gestures to the OFF position.

1. Open an image in Single Photo View.
   • On a touchscreen device, touch and drag up or down on the left-hand side of the image to change the star rating.

**_ Using a trackpad or mouse, click and drag up or down on the left-hand side of the image to change the star rating.
