p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Lr key assign for purple pick?


I use color assignment to a smart collection for shots of kids whose parents want a real record of their daughter/son's athletic activities. You can get Red, Yellow, Blue, Green with 6-9, but purple has to be moused. I've looked around a bit, and while I can find multiple ways to alter the stroke for a number of activities, can't find a way to get purple with out hitting the drop down box. Anyone figure this one out?

Thanks,

Robert

I don't think there is .
this maybe a silly question but do you use all your other colour labels / star ratings and flag status ?

Basically, yes. Flag goes up-down-pick. I kill the down ASAP (particularly when shooting sports). The pick will be those good enough to be considered. (Unflagged are kept for possible future use.) I use all of the colors but purple and need another smart collection for another parent.

Stars are a temp feature, normally only 3 and 5 to mark survivors for possibilities. I guess I could start assigning a 1 star to another parent group. That would be quick and easy. The great thing about color is you can see it in grid display, whereas, I don't think the others show up unless you look down at the strip. Sometimes I move faster than I should, but someone else makes the deadlines. I'll go back and study stars. I have used them mostly as temporary markers (1* -> yearbook, 2* -> group and individual pix 4* -> a specific project like a plein air "portrait" generally of a family. If I just did sports by flag that could free up a couple of stars. I guess that's the only solution I can see.

Thanks Ian. I'll have to figure out how to change my system to meet my needs given the "the" system isn't flexible.

well see Paul post .

but yes I find sometimes LR could be a tad more 'flexible'

one annoyance I had was as like you I assigned some smart collections to pick up a colour. it would be nice to be able to assign more than 1 colour to an image .
(Paul will now probably tell me thats possible ) .

I find sometimes LR could be a tad more 'flexible' I'd like to nominate this line for the "Photographic understatement of the year" in the software category. Does remind me of my boot camp days: right way, wrong way, adobe way. Oh, sorry, navy way!
