Deleting images from within User Collections

George Barron
I'm new to CO. Still learning the everyday processes. I have a question about deleting images while in a User Collection. I know that 'command-delete' will remove it from the album and that the original remains in the Catalog. And I know that if I am in the Catalog I can move an image to trash by dragging it there or using control-command-delete. But I want to be able to get that image into the trash and out of the catalog while viewing the images in the User Collections. LR and Aperture give you this option (remove from album or completely delete original) but I cannot figure out to do it in CO. Dragging to the trash does not work , not does control-command-delete. I hope there is a way to do this as it is my custom to cull images after I've got them sorted into the proper albums within the User Collection.

I could certainly change my workflow and do this from the Catalog or from the 'Recent Import' collection (I'm not sure it will work from there either) but this would complicate things.

If there is not a way to do this is there a way to suggest it to Phase One as this seems like it should be a basic feature even if a dialog box popped up to ask you if you really wanted to delete the original (the way it does in LR).

Thanks,

George

    This topic comes up very frequently so there is a need for this. The best way is to create a support issue and let them know directly. This forum is not the 'official' way to request enhancements.

    My workflow is to tag wanted pics with red, assigned to the 'x' key (or 9, if you have recently switched from Aperture without making a stop in LR). I also have a smart collection that lists the 'rejected' pics, and from there you can delete them (Del key). And you will get a dialog whether to remove them from the collection or also trash them.

    Agreed, it seems like an extra step, but in the end it works fine (and very Aperture-like). The only extra thing you may want to do is to filter the browser to hide the rejected pics, but that is a matter of taste.

    HTH,
    Peter.
