delete in develop mode!
« on: July 29, 2010, 03:15:54 AM »
Hello all at the risk of sounding thick I can't for the life of me figure out why pressing the X key wasn't kept in LR3, to reject photos as one develops. Its quicker for me on big theatre shoots than going through the library...Altering the landscape portrait aspect just doesn't do it for me and I can't find another hint anywhere about a new key to do this job.. Is there one? its driving me nuts individually deleting each pic.  Please help!
Cheers Chrissy
ps thanks for the Wacom heads up, I thought it was only me.! :)

[X] still sets a Reject Flag in Develop Module. It only flips portrait/landscape if the crop tool is active.

I agree, it annoys the living cr@p out of me. I had a beautiful streamlined two hand workflow all sussed out, and the revised X button function in Develop ruined it. It wouldn't be so awful, but Crop Mode also hides the furshlugginer Reject Button icon on the Tool Bar as well.

There's enough context switching going on already, without having to R-X-R, every time. Faster, more efficient way, anyone?


(PS Ignore this if you've heard me whinge before :), I shoot a high-speed action sport, and many, many of my shots require a framing/cropping tweak, so I just literally live in Crop Mode in Develop. Everything else I need works fine in Crop except the darned Reject)

Hitting Shift-X (reject and advance to next photo) would be a workaround.

Oh, for Pete's sake, I can't believe I didn't try that! Works like a champ Beat.

I had X programmed into a long press-and-hold on my Griffin PowerMate, (which is why I missed it so much).
I'll try reprogramming that, and report back. Actually I just tried, but looks like it's going to take a reboot, and I'm short on time right now.

Thanks again Beat.

Hello Brad and Beat, I can't thank you enough, I would have earlier but couldn't get back to link! I agree with Brad about R - X - R, but Beat's Shift X is great and I have had a happier afternoon editing! Not feeling so stupid. Perhaps Lightroom could put this information on their keyboard shortcut list? I know its not your call.  You are all brilliant. In fact this forum is, and Matt's killer tips and all the tutorials I never have time to watch....one day... Thanks again
