Since we are using industry-standard stars and keywords, you can make any tagging changes you’d like while editing and they will carry over across programs. Now that you’ve culled in Photo Mechanic, you can take your photos to a pixel editor such as Lightroom, Capture One, etc. We’ll also show later how these stars and keywords help Wall Art and Card Designs. To reiterate – 3 stars is a keeper, 4 stars is an alternate album image and 5 stars is an album image. When you come across these images, add the “Main Image” keyword to them. Next, when we come across a “wow shot” that we know should be a double page spread we can add the keyword “Panorama.”įinally, when designing albums most spreads have an anchor image – an image that the rest of the images play off of. Our second strategy is to tag the photo we know will go on the cover of the album with the “Cover Photo” keyword. Lastly, we tag any other images that are keepers with 3 stars. If we aren’t sure or there is a similar photo that the couple might like, we’ll tag it with 4 stars as an alternate. Any photo that we see as an album select we’ll tag with 5 stars. Most photographers will use the 3 star rating to rate their normal “keeper” images. One great thing about Photo Mechanic is its speed for viewing and culling images fast, saving us hours of time.Īs we go through our culling process, we will add star ratings to our images. Our ultimate strategy is to make auto design as accurate as possible and to save us time.
