A Culling Workflow in Lightroom Classic
Sitting in front of Lightroom after you’ve just imported hundreds of new photos can be overwhelming without a culling workflow. To get you started, we walk you through all of the tools and techniques that will make the culling process easier.
We’ll show you the different views Lightroom offers to view and compare your photos. Then we’ll take you through a culling workflow of multiple rounds of culling where we’ll assign flags, star ratings, and color ratings to the pictures we like most.
Once finished, you’ll have a repeatable culling workflow and be confident in your ability to quickly identify and organize your best work, preparing you for the rest of the post-production process.
The PHLEARN Workflow
Throughout this series, we’ll take you through everything from creating your first Lightroom catalog, to sending photographs over to Photoshop for external editing. We’ve developed our process over the years to help you work faster, stay organized, and never have to worry about losing or misplacing any files.

From someone whose used LR for 10 years this is chock full of tips and helpful tools. Good reminders of how to be more efficient. Regarding using Text for metadata search. I have over 60K photos in LR cataloged and have years of family pictures, entering keywords of names and occasions such as a child’s name or Christmas ? In the metadata Text I can enter the name of the person I want to look at and all the photos of that person will be displayed. I can narrow that search by year for that person. I can enter the occasion such as Christmas and all the Christmas pics will be displayed. I can select all the 5 star Christmas pics. I’m mainly interested in composite artistic photography. I use the Text metadata search all the time to find dogs, sun sets, mountains, etc …. to include I composites. I have photos from many years and in seconds I can isolate and locate pics I’m interested in using.
Thanks Aaron and team. I have been using Lightroom for about three years and some of the tips and tricks I have implemented over the years from your Free Tutorials, but the information in this course helped make things go faster and smoother. Great Job.
