Rating Development Workspace
This workspace is ment for a process that utilizes only develop module - even the rating is done in Develop instead of Library. This is useful if you just pick-and-edit while you go thorough the images - and not necessarily even check the whole gallery, just the images you need.
Dials contain all basic tone controls (as in Basic Adjustments workspace).
Touch buttons have the basic culling actions: Star ratings (2,3) for selecting images, red and green to mark images and also a possibility to pick/reject or add images to a quick collection.
