Photos and star rating??

After doing the software update and changing from iPhoto to Photos I can't seem to figure out how to rate my photos. The directions in "Help" say that I can go to View-Rating- etc. but I don't see that when I look at the drop down menu. I have years worth of photos star rated and that's how I organize my smart albums. Is there an easy way to still do this or have they removed the star rating system?
Thank you
Isabel Roberts

I suggest you write in to https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html with feedback that you really need this feature. I did as I have a ton of shots I have rated this way for years.

Lightroom Mobile - Color and Stars rating

In order to be able to use LR mobile as an pre-selection tool we urgently need stars & color rating options for Lightroom Mobile. Can't believe it was left out while designing v1.0. This is just another data field. Apart from the opportunities to retouch the photos which are pretty useless atm, I can wait for them to evolve, the rating stuff is essential to really fall into workflow. So dear LR mobile team, efforts in adding stars and color ratings are really much appreciated. Well and smart collection would be nice as well!
To add some praise. I love the idea and I appreciate that the sync is running pretty good and also the app itself is running smoothly even though the adjustment interface is far apart from being an eye candy. But I would say it's aligned to be an working tool instead of being a feast for the eyes.
So I'm looking forward and hoping more rating features appearing on the horizon soon.
Cheers,
LX

Thanks Tom for your kind reply!! I'm also Product Manager in Product Development for a big company and being in charge of realiziing convergent use cases across the entire device spectrum and therefore totally agree with your approach to get into things. My complaint wasn't meant to be ungrateful it was just the sight of an user which has set up use-cases and workflows to efficiently get the job (even it's a hobby) done. So hope you got it right. I've experienced Lightroom and Photoshop over the past few years a really great tools, but from my point of view, Adobe sometimes is focused to much on being amazing algorithm developers and less customer workflow supporters. I'm really spending a lot of time with my photography partner (also a reallife Product Manager) discussing what could have been from a simple workflows point of view. I'm pretty sure there is quite a lot of wishes our there. From obviousness to edge cases, but we always came to certain points where presumed little efforts would make a huge difference.
To come to an end. I'm looking forward to see star and color rating (and probably support for smart galleries) hopefully very soon. Thank you guys for the move to bring Lightroom to the tablet!
If you and the team are interested on more precise feedback on LR-Mob and probably Lightroom workflows I would be delighted to provide you with.
So if you are interested, just pick me up, I've dropped you a linkedin request.
All the best from overseas,

Voice Ccontrol and star rating

I'd love to be able to rate songs easier! faster! Command:
"rate song = 4"
The problem with adopting star rating as axsystem is it's a hassle to rate all your songs. This would make it so much easier to adapt to using star ratings.
This feature would promote the use of iTunes DJ and iTunes in general.
Please suggest this feature request!

This is the best place to leave feedback and feature requests:

Edit camera raw in Bridge stopped working CS5 (and star rating removed)

I have always had the 'double click edits camera raw settings in Bridge' setting enabled. Half way through editing a batch of 1000 images, instead of opening in Bridge the image opened in Photoshop. I checked the selection in Bridge, re-enabled it, closed Bridge and opened a few times, re-enabled again, re-booted my system, but it still opens raw files in Photoshop. This is extremely irritating as I now have to switch windows every time I go to do the next edit. I don't need Photoshop running for 90% of the edits I am doing. I made no changes to my system during the time that I was editing.
Any ideas?
Stuart
PS
At the same time as this error occurred Bridge now removes star ratings as in the following sequence:
1 Give image 3 *
2 Double click to edit and raw file opens in Photoshop
3 Edit and save image.
4 Click done and return to Bridge
5 The 3 * rating has been removed and the saved jpg also has 0 *
PPS
I have partly solved the problem. I normally convert to DNG but did not do so on this occasion. In the batch were files from a Canon 5D and and Canon 5D mkII. A very small number of the 5D files have the problem above. I converted all these to DNG and I can edit normally. But I am still at a loss as to why some files exhibit this strange behaviour.

Star rating disppear from images in Lightroom

When shooting tethered, my client has chosen the images and star rated those she likes. When I imported all the raw files into Lightroom 5.4, all the star rating are missing.
How can I see the star rating again in Lightroom? I cannot remember all the images that are chosen.
Can someone please help?

I have a feeling the * are lost; but as others, I can only understand the importing of the untethered files which I guess were not starred.
After the bull has escaped>>To keep the order as photographed you only needed to select "capture time" for Sort. Files could be moved into one job folder and everything is in order as long as any different cameras have the same time. I have made THAT mistake
Sorry, not sure that is any help for you atm.

Why have all my previous "My Ratings" (stars) have been removed and Smart Albums(i.e. 5 star rating in past year) virtually destroyed in the update to the new Photos program? Where are the "My Ratings" capabilities ?

Upon updating to the new Photos program, all the previous "My Ratings" (1-5 stars) for photos have been removed. Why? My "Smart Albums" using the "My Ratings", i.e. photos with a 5 star rating within the past year, have been virtually destroyed in the update. The updates "modified" Smart
Album deleted the "My Ratings" parameter, retained the Date parameter so now Smart Album includes every photo within the date range parameter. Where are the "My Ratings" capabilities ? It appears they have been removed. If so, why ?

Photos doesn't have true star ratings.
However, when photos are migrated from iPhoto or Aperture to Photos, they will have keywords assigned, like "1 star" or "5 stars". You can create smart albums based on these keywords.
You can also assign keyboard shortcuts so if you're in the keyword pane and type 1, it will assign the "1 star" keyword.

Importing photos from ZoomBrowser into iPhoto without losing keywords and star ratings

I have been using Canon's ZoomBrowser EX on my Windows Vista laptop. I have just bought a MacBook Air running Lion. I would like to import all of my photos to iPhoto, but when I do this I lose all of the keywords and star ratings I have associated with my many photos. Is there any way to import the photos into iPhoto while retaining the keywords and star ratings so that I can use them in iPhoto? Doing this manually would be impractical due to the large number of photos involved.
Thanks.
- Charlie

Keywords:
Iphoto can certainly import them if they are written to the correct fields of the standard metadata. They key question is can your Windows app write them to the files?
Ratings
There's no real way to share ratings via standard metadata, but if you can write the keywods, then you can quickly tag the pics with simple keywords (1star, 2star) and when imported to iPhoto recreate your rating system.
So, the question is really about your existing software and what it can do.

Keep star-Rating of imported photos

is it possible to recognize the star-Rating of imported photos (from Aperture). Rating and key-wording was done in Aperture. After export and import to iPhoto kewords still there, but rating is zero for all images.
Rating is written in Exif-data and can be show in Apples Preview e.g. („star Rating: 3“)
Is there a possibility to transfer the rating to iPhoto (iLife 09 - iPhoto 8.1.2)

iPhoto doesn't read the rating field nor does it write to it. Send a feature request via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Photos are automatically rated with one star upon import

Hi. I've noticed recently that everytime I connect my camera and import my photos into LR that all of the photos are automatically rated with one star. Even when I go to select all, set rating to zero, nothing changes. What am I missing here and how does all of my photos automatically get rated upon import? It's annoying that I have unrate each and every single photo. I have looked all over and I can't find anything that mentions photos being rated automatically. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Check your import presets to see if one is selected that contains the one star assignment.

Photos/Fotos: One of the most important selection features the is "Star" rating. How on earth can you stop supporting this feature ???

My iPhoto lib contains >100´000 photos. All of them are rated with stars. Dependent on the rating I distribute the photos on >20 apple devices in our family.
Many friends of mine do the same.
It´s time for a severe request to Apple to take over that feature from iPhoto to Photos. They should start to learn, that people that liked their previously released software have spent hundreds of hours to adapt their data with that software to their needs. I´m using Mac´s since 1984. Might be that I start thinking about using different systems if they continue to through away my efforts from the past...
If you dislike Apples latest moves and like this feature too you need to provide feedback to them on the following web page: www.apple.com/feedback

Remember that star ratings are not part of standard metadata.

HT5024 It states that it takes 24hrs for changes to come into effect. However, what does it mean that it may retains my review in the system indefinitely, so if I rate it 1 star by accident, and changed it to rate 5 stars, the 1 star rating is not removed

Hi,
One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
Any idea how can this problem be solved?
It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
Thanks

Can I import edited photos (and their raw originals) from Aperture in groups, like 5-star images from a project?

I have 30,000 images in Aperture and it keeps crashing. I've run out of memory on my MacBook Pro running 10.8.6 and I want to switch over to Lightroom for all new photos and slowly migrate my best ones over to LR as well. I've edited many of my best shots already, probably 6000 or more, so I need to feel confident that cropping, editing, rating, and metadata will all migrate successfully.
Also, can I load the Lightroom itself onto an external hard drive and keep all my images off my laptop? If I edit them, do the edits remain on my laptop regardless of where the originals reside. I think that's the issue that I'm running into with Aperture: edits stay on my laptop even though originals are on an external HD.
Thanks for your feedback on both of these matters.

Your photos can be on any hard disk, internal or external or network. If they are stored on an external hard disk, then when you import them into Lightroom, you select the ADD option and the photo will remain on your external hard disk. The edits are stored in your Lightroom catalog (as opposed to "remain on my laptop"). Once you import photos into Lightroom, you no longer want to manage them (move, copy, delete) using your operating system. You do all photo management in Lightroom.
If you transfer the photos properly, your edits, cropping, metadata, etc. will transfer to Lightroom, but I will leave the details to some expert on Aperture.
If I could offer some advice, I don't think you want to just transfer SOME of your photos to Lightroom. In my opinion, you want ALL of your photos managed by Lightroom, and not some in application 1 and some in application 2. This makes your life much easier when trying to find your photos, you don't have to think "Is this photo in Lightroom or is this in Aperture?" (Note: this doesn't mean you have to import all the photos from Aperture into Lightroom in one HUGE operation; you can certainly do the importing in manageable sized groups)

How can I search my photos by my applied star rating?

I see how to mark my photos with a rating star. But then if I want to bring up all my 3 star rated ones, for example, I don't see how to do that. I must be missing something. I'm using iPhoto 9.3.2. 10.7.4 OS

You can create a Smart Album to view all your 3 Star photos. Go to iPhoto Menubar/File/New Smart Album. Set it up like below
