so I shot my daughters ballet over the past 3 weeks and now I need to sort them out by priority 1,2,3 (there are over 7,000 pics)
any one have and suggestions on a program that can easily and quickly tag photos either as 1,2 or 3 as I go through them? I need to be able to move the pics to a new folder depending on their priority because I'd like to be able to edit just THOSE photos in different editors.
For example - raw shooter will allow me to prioritize them 1,2 or 3 but (to my knowledge) won't move the files - so if I go into noise ninja or bridge or whatever I don't know which ones are rated what anymore and I can't batch process them. Not what I'm looking for.
Any ideas? |

| You can rate them in bridge then sort by rating and move them to the folder of your choice. |

Microsoft Digital Image Library will do this, as well. I love the Library because you it has hierarchal organization methodology, in addition to multiple flags/tags for just the sort of situation you are talking about.

ACDSee is a good program, and has a 30-day free trial.

Sounds like a very good plan.

I agree with techno Bridge is a great way to rate your photos from 1-5 then you just select your 3 up or 4 up rated photos and drag them in to a folder to seperate them.

Picasa Rocks! And its Free forever (hopefully). You can tag the pictures with customs tags (could be ratings). You can select multiple photos and can add same tag to all (for all you 5s :)). You can see tagged pictures in "virtual folders" which can be moved anywhere you want.
Did I tell you it is good for basic processing also? :)
...and above all- Its SIMPLE to use!

To those recommending Adobe Bridge, is that only in CS2?
I seem to remember the browser was a seperate program when I had CS2 available to me -- but with CS the browser is integerated into PS and I find it far too slow to manage photos with.
Am I remembering correctly, or am I missing something in CS?

Gordon gave some good advice a while back which I have incorporated into my workflow for large image batches.
As he said,(at least as I recall, forgive any errors...) first, in Bridge, rate everything a 2. Next, go through all the individual images, and change the ones that are obvious garbage, due to technicals, focus, or just a clean miss, to a 1.
Now, have Bridge show only the 2's, and go through again, this time moving the "possibles" up to a 3. Have Bridge show only 3's. Continue through until you have eliminated the wheat from the chaff, and start processing.
I should explain that I use the Bridge rather than any other RAW processer, and the Bridge only appeared in the CS2 release. CS didn't have it, but the more i use it, the more I appreciate the value of the upgrade.

I use iView media and like it. It lets you add lots of tags and keywords to batch photos. Also let's you orgenize the images into different catalogs and sets. Lot's of options. Supports raw files and works rather fast. Has really helped me get otrder in my images and workflow.Oh yeah, once you have sorted out the images you can launch them directly from iView to any editor you wish.
Michael.

I second this recommendation. I do exactly what you're saying by rating images and moving them.

Yes, in PS7 and CS there was File Browser which ran internally in Photoshop and used the same resources. With CS2 it's Bridge, which runs more or less independently and acquires its own resources.
