For me, having a bunch of variants of the same image is pretty unusual
these days. If I do I'll compare them in 4-up mode, choose 1 and mark
it, move on to the next group rinse and repeat. If I'd had a dozen
images to compare at the start I'd do this 3 times and then discard all
those that weren't marked. Then I'd bring up the 3 "winners" of each
group and compare them to pick the winner.
LR might be able to do this a little more efficiently but not any
better. I need to do this sort of thing so infrequently now that it
just doesn't seem worth the learning curve to gain... what? A time
saving likely less than the effort involved to learn the new tool.
Someone mentioned "collections". I don't have "collections" beyond a
named folder of related images. I guess I prefer to stay primitive.

Chuck - I think it's hard to compare tools unless you use both/all of
them. When you can do pretty much everything in LR you never get to use
Faststone, Breezebrowser, Bridge, ...
Certainly LR's
review/compare/select/discard/flag/rate/color/sync'd_zoom/etc make going
through a large quantity of images pretty flexible. One feature I really
like is grabbing a bunch of variants of one image (as many as you like but
sensibly up to about a dozen) and then being able to discard them
one-by-one (as you hover, an X appears in the corner of the image) - click
it and the rest of the grid rearrange to give each image the most space
possible Do it full-screen on even a modest 23" monitor and a dozen
postcard-sized images is very easy to work with. Add a second monitor and
the selected image is displayed full-screen at the same time!
I was going to ask (Ph.) why it took an hour to sort out some time/date
issues. then I re-read and saw a DOZEN cameras - so 5 minutes each to
filter on camera model, select all photos, and edit capture time/date
doesn't seem so bad. I bet the last one was quicker than the first!

That's really great but doesn't answer my question which was: Specifically
what does LR do (that others don't) that allows you to quickly move through
the selection process... about 5-1/2 seconds each. That sound impressive
to me but it depends on what you were actually doing.
Note that I'm ignoring the building of the collection and syncing of
timestamps. AFAIK, (another disappointment) Bridge can't do that but I
have other tools that can.

I don't and have never had 2000 related images
I got married early July and collected the files from a good dozen
cameras, all set at different times and sometimes dates ...
It took me less than an hour in LR to address this and get a restored
chronology.
I then selected the files I wanted to edit (from over 2200 files down to
about 250), which took me/us 3 hours or so.
I then edited the selection and burnt DVDs for my guests (that's the
longer part of the job, depending on camera and ... owner)
Finally selected again from the first selection and composed a booklet
which I had printed by Blurb as a case for the DVDs.
Which other programs do that?
