Set labels and color groups
Labeling photos with a certain color is a flexible way to quickly mark a large number of photos. For example, suppose
you’ve just imported a large number of photos and are viewing them in the Grid view. As you review each new photo,
you can label the ones you want to keep. After this initial pass, you can click the color label filter buttons in the
Filmstrip to display and work on photos that you’ve labeled with a particular color. See “
Filter the photos displayed in
the Filmstrip and Grid view
” on page 42 and “
Find photos using the Attribute filters
” on page 94.

In the Library module, do one of the following:
•
Select one or more photos in the Grid view, or select a single photo in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey

> Set Color Label and choose a label from the submenu. If more than one photo is
selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe, Compare, or Survey view, the label is applied only to the active photo.
