Organizing a large project full of images can be a lot of work. As explained earlier, you won't necessarily perform the tasks presented in this chapter in a particular order. In most cases, you'll probably find that you begin by organizing your images into stacks. While working on that, you'll probably add a few ratings (tagging picks as five-star images, for example). Once your images are stacked, you can begin to think about adding ratings and keywords. While thorough keywording and rating will help your future organizational efforts, your immediate goal is to find the images that you think are worthy of editing and final output. Depending on whether you intend to use Smart Albums or regular albums, you may need more or fewer keywords. You'll learn about the difference between these two types of albums in Chapter 8. |
