As others have mentioned, Adobe Bridge makes fairly short work of sorting through the raw files and picking the "winners." I just started using Lightroom earlier in the week, and it's even more streamlined at sorting through pictures. I also am starting to like the conversion process in Lightroom (well, the Develop mode), and the raw converter has more tweaks than the older version. Both programs have a filmstrip mode that will let you see a medium-sized preview of the shot, and use the left/right arrow keys to move through the pictures. Memorize a couple of hot keys for flagging the pictures, and you'll make short work of flagging the good ones. I don't yet do the keyword tagging thing, but I suppose I'll have to learn that in time. :-) I had around 500 shots from my vacation trip. It took a little while to convert them to DNG's and read them into lightroom, but I've been able to spend a little bit of time doing sorting and conversion every night. -Mat -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
