Chapter 9 Rating Images 235
II
The process of rating an image can be as easy as selecting an image and clicking a
rating button in the control bar to assign a rating to the image.
You can also use keyboard shortcuts to quickly assign or change ratings.
You can quickly review and rate images one after another with speed and efficiency.
You can also select and rate multiple images at once. You can review and rate images in
the Viewer, Browser, and Light Table, as well as in Full Screen view. When you’ve
finished rating images, Aperture allows you to sort images according to their ratings.
You can use the Query HUD to hide or show images of a certain rating. For example,
after an initial rating pass, you can set the Query HUD to show only those images that
are rated one star. You can then closely inspect and further refine your selection or
begin an adjustments pass. Aperture is preset to hide images that are rated Reject, so
you may need to change the Query HUD settings to see rejected images.
