* I then make another pass giving a star to any image that I want to keep. An unstarred image means that I’m undecided about it. Typically I’ll reject a some more of the images during this pass. It’s also during this pass that I’ll group similar pictures together into stacks and select an initial pick for the stack.

* After the one-star pass, I perform another to add a star to any image that I would be happy for a client to see. This lets me keep outtakes as one-star images and bump client-worthy images to two stars. I’ll do some basic processing to these images to pull in levels, correct white balance, and tweak contrast.

If it’s a rapid fire event, I’ll stop right there and dump out the two star images to hand off before going off to shoot some more. If I’ve got a little time, I’ll perform one more pass for images that I’d recommend the client use. These are the ones that I consider worthy. An event client will typically get both 2 and 3 star images at this point.
