Rating Images

The “Classifications” view also allows ranking images on a scale from 1 to 5.

Click on the “Ratings” group to view the five available ratings. Then click on a suitable rating and drag it onto a picture, or drag the picture to the rating. To assign the same rating to multiple images, select the images in the workspace, then drag the rating to any one of the selected images or the images to the rating. The current rating for an image can be viewed in the System Descriptor “Rating”.

Rather than switching to “Classifications” view, you can also manage ratings directly in album view. Select the desired images, then click the “Ratings” button on the Image Archive toolbar to view a drop-down list of available functions to assign, revise or remove the rating for an image. You may also sort the images by their rating.

The "Information" pane lets you also view and edit the rating. If necessary, use the the “Show Bars” submenu of “View” menu to show this pane.

Rated images will display with one of the following object status icons.

Click the rating icon to change or remove the rating for the image.

Alternatively, to remove a rating from an image, click the image and drag the rating from the rating group in classification view to the recycle bin. You may also click the right mouse button on the rating and choose “Remove Rating” from the context menu.
