# Marking Favorite and Rejected Images {% @arcade/embed flowId="4BX4N9SWNYnkeYGAut6A" url="" %} Over time, your photo catalog will grow. One of the key benefits of a Luminar Neo catalog is finding just the images you want to work with, view, or share. Flags make it easy to find your favorites. \ [#h\_01h0qdn7hdagw06g5t1kbydt3m](#h_01h0qdn7hdagw06g5t1kbydt3m "mention")\ [#h\_01h0qdnhgpvhmcgkqn5zkjdvj6](#h_01h0qdnhgpvhmcgkqn5zkjdvj6 "mention")\ [#h\_01h0qdnc27y7zejzhsc6ktcx1n](#h_01h0qdnc27y7zejzhsc6ktcx1n "mention") ### Understanding Flags **Flags** are an easy way to rate and sort images. There are three types of Flags that you can apply to an image. * **Favorite.** Favorite images are the images you may want to work on later or easily find again. * **Rejected.** These are images you know you will not want to use. This could be based on focus issues, closed eyes, or other problems that can’t be fixed in editing. * **Unmarked.** Images that are neither Favorite nor Rejected remain unmarked. You can filter out everything but unmarked images to determine if you want to flag or reject them. Images that have been Favorited or Rejected can have their rating removed using the **Unmarked** command. ### Choosing Favorite Images in the Catalog View The most accessible place to choose your favorite images is the **Catalog**. This is because you can compare images to each other. In the **Gallery View**, you can directly mark a photo as a favorite on the image thumbnail. When you hover your mouse over a thumbnail that is unmarked, a small outline of a heart appears in the lower right corner of the thumbnail. To start: 1. Click a Shortcut in the Catalog panel or choose a Folder, Subfolder, or Album for the images you want to work with. 2. Press the **L** key, ensuring you are in **Gallery View** mode. 3. Adjust the thumbnail size (**Small**, **Medium**, **Large**, or **Largest**) with the **Zoom Controls** in the upper left corner so you can easily see image details. 4. Click the hollow **heart icon** on the lower right edge of each thumbnail; the heart can be toggled on or off with each click to mark **Favorite** or **Unmarked**. {% hint style="info" %} **Tip: More flags** Use your mouse to flag images. Right-click on an image, mouse over **Set Flag**, and choose from **Favorite**, **Rejected**, or **Unmarked**. {% endhint %} ### Marking Favorite Images in the Single View You can also add a Flag to an image in the Edit panel or Single Image Catalog view. This can be useful as you enhance the image as you might change your mind about how good it is (especially after taking advantage of Luminar Neo’s tools). To start: 1. Click a Shortcut in the Catalog panel or choose a Folder, Subfolder, or Album for the images you want to work with. 2. Press the **G** key, ensuring you are in **Gallery View** mode. This mode makes it easy to get an overview of a folder or album’s contents so you can choose the image you want. 3. Choose the image you’d like to edit and double-click to enter the **Single Image** view. 4. The individual image opens, and you should see flags and other helpful information below the image on Canvas. 5. If hidden, click the **View** menu and make sure the **Show Photo Actions Panel** is marked. You can now flag directly below the image. From left to right, here’s what’s displayed * **Filename.** Matches the name of the file on your hard drive. * **Favorite.** Click the heart to flag the image as a favorite. * **Rejected.** Click the X to reject the image. * **Visibility Icon.** Click to view the before and after if the image is edited. * **Zoom**. Click the dropdown menu to change the Zoom percentage. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to label images. * **P** Favorite * **X** Rejected * **U** Unmarked --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
