The use of stacks to reduce the congestion in the Organizer has a disastrous affect on the ability to sort the organizer images in terms of the star rating.
I would think that one of the most used features of Organizer is star rating for quality.
If you use stacks you can write-off star rating your images.
I have tried all combinations available in applying the star rating, equal to, less than or equal to, equal to or greater than.
If the photographs in your stacks do not have the same rating, Organizer assigns the rating of the image with the highest rating to all the images.
A search for all the images with a rating equal to four will include other images with a rating of 2 in the search.
I can't give up the convenience of stacks, my Organizer will expand to an unmanageable size.
This is a serious problem, there is no point in rating my images. Picking the best images for a slide show, display or printing is now down to a manual search.
I have previously raised this on other forums without success. I may have done it on this forum at some time in the past.
The only answer I have received is that Adobe never intended stacks to have images with different star ratings.
I have tried making two Albums for each Album name, one for images 4 and above and another, with the same name but adding -3 to the name.
This involves opening up stacks and selecting images one by one. Use of Shift or Ctrl for bulk selection is not possible.
Also being an aspirant bird photographer I use the single star to collect photographs I have used to identify a bird but not fit for display.
Does anyone have an easier work-around?
