DPG will import star ratings from all popular image editing software (such as Adobe Lightroom). You can also change the rating of any image on the review screen.

### Batch updating

In list view, you can easily batch-edit the rating of any selected images.

> 💡 **Tip:** Use your keyboard's numerical keys 0-5 to quickly change ratings of selected images in list view, or on the review screen.

> 💡 **Tip:** For keyword-based sites, the images with the highest rating will automatically be used as the lead image.

[Some sites](https://modernnarrativedemo17.dpg.gallery/starratingsdemo/) use ratings to control their layouts, see [this guide](https://support.digitalphotogallery.com/articles/article/6251f08e-4a18-11e6-801b-7678d470c6e0) for more information.
