Organizing images is one of a photographer's most time-consuming and important tasks. You need to be able to quickly and easily find the image you need for a particular client or job. And the larger your image collection, the greater the challenge.

Another critical task is evaluating imagesjudging not only their composition and aesthetic value but also the quality of the shots, including focus, lighting, and exposure.

The two tasks go hand in hand, because it's natural and intuitive for a photographer to want to somehow identify or flag "hero" or "keeper" images (or duds) while sorting and organizing them.

With Aperture, it's easy to organize and rate images in a seamless process. For example, you can choose the pick of a stack as your favorite in the group. And you can apply star ratings, such as making an image a five-star "select," as you evaluate the image in the Viewer. In this lesson, we'll explore some of Aperture's organization and rating features as we continue preparing the potential fashion-shoot location images for our client, Grande Agency.
