![]() ![]() If I forget which color is for which person, I can go look in the Color Label editing window and I’ll see which close goes with which person. I can just click through the color label filters like this and quickly see which images I need to send to which person. Now, just the shots my client chose will appear on screen. Later, after the shoot is over and I’m starting to process the images in Lightroom, when I went to get a batch to get ready to send over to the client, I go down to the Color Label filter swatches on the top of the Filmstrip on the right side and I click on the Red label. If the Hair Stylist sees a shot she loves, I hit number 9 to assign it a blue label. Now I know which ones are the client’s favorites. Now, while we’re shooting if the Client sees a shot she really likes, I click on the thumbnail and hit the number 6 on my keyboard to add a red label to that image. Once I’ve made up this set, if I think I’ll be using it again, I save it as a Color Label Preset by choosing ‘Save Current Settings as New Preset’ form the Preset pop-up menu at the top of the window (as seen here). By typing in their titles in this box, I won’t accidentally send the wrong person the wrong images. The Makeup artist wants ones where the makeup looks amazing, so you have (in this case) four other people beside the photography who want to make their picks for shots that they want from this shoot. The client may be looking for one particular type of look the hair stylist wants shots that really show off the hair. I rename the labels so I can tag my client’s favorite images, the model’s, the Makeup Artists, and the Hair Stylist’s images from that shoot (and yes, they will all have different choices. While you’re here, take not of the keyboard shortcuts for each of these color labels: Press 6 to add red label to a photo, 7 to add a yellow, 8 for green and so on. When the Edit Color Label Set appears, it shows you the default names of Red, Yellow, Green, etc. To do that, go to the Library module, under the Metadata menu, go to ‘Color Label Set’ and from the pop-out menu choose ‘Edit,’ (as shown above). ![]() ![]() To set up my Color Labels to use on this shoot, I want to give them names that work with what I’m doing. Maybe a model, a hair stylist, a makeup artist (MUA), maybe a fashion stylist, the client, and so on. Here’s a typical use for me: I’m doing a shoot (could be in-studio like this shoot above, or out on location where I’m shooting tethered), and there are multiple people working on this shoot. I primarily rely on Pick Flags and just the singular 5-star rating to tag photos in Lightroom Classic, but there’s a particular situation where I use Color Labels as well, and thought you might find it handy, too. ![]()
