This is a feature that allows you to refine Collections independently without worrying about how an image flagged in one Collection may affect another. I do my Pick and Reject flag "editing" within either Folders or the "Most Recent Import" view of my images. -Scott Prokopis,

I then move on to another collection and set some more rejects there. Finally when the time comes to actually delete all these rejects I click on All Photographs and press Ctrl+Backspace and the message No Rejected Photos were found appears. I specifically have to click into the collection and then Ctrl+Backspace so that the previously selected rejects appear. What's more, I had made a Picked Pictures smart collection and a Rejected Pictures one. These smart collections do not include images that were picked after being placed in a collection :< Any ideas / comments / suggestions? Thank you, Prokopis Hello,

If, as sometimes seems to be the case, it would prove possible to offer Graduate College Degrees for a particular feature the time may have come to simplify, simplify, simplify. Jobs I could do with one or two keystrokes in my previous editing application sometimes now consume a half hour of time on my part as I research, study, and attempt to memorize some of the thousands of features in LR 3. Maybe I'm just getting lazy but it seems like an awful lot of work for very little actual gain? At some point the addition of features stops helping and starts hurting.

I have created a test catalog on my laptop to try all sort of things. I rejected photo's in several folders and then selected one folder and then used in photo(hope it's the same as in my dutch LR) to delete rejected photo's. This deletes all rejected photo's and my worry was that it would also delete all rejected photo's in my complete catalog. Well it only deleted all rejected photo's in the current folder. This wil probally also work in a collection. This what you mean by currently selected photo's. Harry. Hello David,

Let's say that you select one file. When you hit delete, only that one file will be removed from your catalog or deleted from your hard drive. If you have two files selected then only those two files will be effected. You don't need to worry about deleting everything unless you select all of your files and then hit the delete key! -- David Marx Dear Harry,

I searched for sometime now to find a way to exclude the rejected photo's. Now I know how. One question, if I use "Delete and choose Delete from Disk", will it delete all rejected photo's in the library or only the one in the grid / selection on hand. Thanks for the information.

[Here's an article on Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to Copy New Images in from a Memory Card.] I prefer to have Lightroom build 1:1 Previews when I import my photos so that my editing process goes much faster. That, of course, means that Lightroom has to take the time to build those previews when I import, but that’s ok with me. I can take a break to grab a cup of coffee while those previews are being created and zip through the culling process when I return.
