Until now I&#8217;ve been using the Delete key in Bridge to blow away the rejects &amp; move on to the next photo in line. That works well enough, but the move is kind of severe, throwing your photo into the trash. It would be nice if there were a way to &quot;soft delete&quot; images&#8211;flagging them for the dead wagon, but not yet moving them to the trash. So, I&#8217;m glad to say that both the new version of Bridge (available on Labs) and Lightroom (shipping very shortly) offer methods for doing this:      <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you hit the Delete key in Bridge CS3, you&#8217;ll get the option to mark an image as a reject. If you choose this option, hitting Delete will mark your image with a red &quot;Reject&quot; label. You can then choose to hide (or show only) the rejects via the new Filter panel. Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/jnack\/files\/images\/brige_rejects.gif\">screenshot<\/a> of both. You can remove the rejectedness of an image by marking it No Rating (via the Label menu, or via Cmd-0\/Ctrl-0).<\/li>\n<li>Lightroom lets you reject an image by hitting X while in the Library module.&#160; To reject it and move to the next in line, hit Shift-X.&#160; (The same convention works for setting a Pick&#8211;hit P and Shift-P.)&#160; And from the bottom of the Library window you can click the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.adobe.com\/jnack\/files\/images\/lr_filter.gif\">flag icons<\/a> to hide the rejects, so that they disappear when you flag them as such.&#160; Hitting Cmd-Delete\/Ctrl-Delete will then offer to remove the files from the Lightoom database, or to move them to the trash.&#160; Note: I don&#8217;t know how much of this stuff is wired up in Beta 4 of Lightroom, but it&#8217;ll be working as described in v1.0. \n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I take a ton of photos, most of which turn out to be quite mediocre.
