RATING SYSTEM
MOST photographers can’t help but begin to review their images on their camera
before they have even got home. Until now, though, the process has largely been
confined to deleting those you aren’t pleased with, while remembering those that
need some work. Thankfully, the EOS 60D has introduced a very simple way to
review images in-camera by making use of an existing system.
When reviewing images on the LCD screen, images can be rated out of five stars,
with, for example, the best images awarded five stars, average ones three stars, and
One-half sky those fit only for your computer’s recycle bin one star. This rating is saved into the
image’s metadata, where it can be used in image library software such as Adobe
Bridge, Lightroom or Aperture.
In practice, the process is simple. As well as being able to rate images via the
standard Quick Menu options, there is a separate Image Rating mode in the Playback
menu, which allows images to be scrolled left or right, with the up and down controls
adjusting the star rating. After copying the images to my computer’s hard drive, I
