workflow

I often find myself returning home from a weekend away with several hundred shots, some are good (although not as many as I'd like), some are OK and some are rubbish.

Before I spend any time cataloging and properly "developing" the images I want to sort out the good, the bad and the downright ugly.  There are a number of ways that this can be achieved in Lightroom which include using ratings or simply deleting each bad one as you get to it.  I use the method outlined below because I find it quick, it gives me a chance to review my decision before I delete anything and lets me keep track of where I am so that if I get interrupted half way through I can come straight back to it another day.
