Hi everyone,  Most people don't realize that even the best
photographers have a fair number of average or just plain awful
shots. They are just smart enough to make sure nobody sees them.
Long ago I went to a photo workshop at the now defunct Disney
Institute. It was great fun and I learned a lot. But the thing I
always remember most is John Shaw saying "Edit ruthlessly. If
you have an emotional attachment to a shot that really isn't
great, put it in your 'images-I-have-an-emotional-attachment-to-
but-wouldn't-show-anyone' file, and then DON'T show it to
anyone." Then I think he added something about the difference
between a pro and an amateur being that the pro knows what to
hide. Maybe that was someone else - but the point is valid.
Never show anyone less than your best work. That way you build a
rep as a great photographer.  RatingsSo, how does Expression
Media help you edit ruthlessly? First there is the rating
system. Rating is as easy as clicking on the little plus marks
under each image. You can rate i
