Refreshing Preview Screen
« on: February 20, 2012, 06:31:41 AM »
Using PM 4.6.8 on Mac Lion

I'm relatively new to PM so am still finding my way around but have a quick question. I have set up a filter on my contact sheet view to hide all images tagged red (rejects). My shot selection process is to highlight a bunch of pictures in the contact sheet view & then select the preview view where I can assign colours to each image (with the benefit of auto-advancing to the next image each time I assign a colour). Hitting escape then takes me back to the contact sheet view and automatically hides those images I've set as rejected. My question is whether it's possible to force a refresh of the preview view to also hide the rejects - I've noticed that if you move to a different application and then come back to PM this automatically happens but using a dedicated keystroke would be easier.

John,

No, there is no way to force a refresh from within the Preview window at this time.

Command-/ will refresh the contact sheet when you're not in Preview mode.
