How are you using Lightroom color labels in your workflow (or similar in other software)?
I have used labels like this:
red: Edit this image
yellow: All possible Lr editing done
green: image is ready to publish
I also used blue as "Image is not rated yet". when I was trying to modify my workflow so that I'd always remember to rate images. I gave blue label to all images in import and I had a smart collection which showed all images with blue label. And other one with blue labels and rating, which I mainly used to remove blue label from rated images. If image had no rating and no blue label then it was ok to delete it. The logic behind this was kind of born from notion that no rating is also rating. I will probably stop using blue label this way. Now I'm trying to find a good way to use labels fully. Previously I was using just three out of five labels.
I know different people use Labels differently and I'm not trying to find someones good way, I'm just curious about possibilities I haven't thought of. I have vague memory that Peter Krogh uses them as Unrated, Outtakes, TrashMe. Some other people use them as Published in Blog, Sold, Portfolio, etc.
So the original question again: How are you using Lightroom color labels in your workflow (or similar in other software)?
Sorry if I posted this to inappropriate forum part.
Thank you for reading.
